I don't drink coffee, but my honey does. He's been frustrated with the sluggish and post brew drip with his Keurig, which didn't clear up even after running it through the automatic cleaning process.
Today I went to make myself some tea and as I was rinsing the K-cup holder (I didn't want coffee in my tea), a chunk of coffee came out, which prompted me to scrub it. As was going to place it back in the machine, I noticed build up in the well, so as I was wiping it, I felt something move... that also is removable, so I washed it too. Then I wiped the inside of the well. Just as I was about to put it all back together, I noticed the pieces are numbered and the part that holds the pod is a two part piece. So, I further dismantled and cleaned it some more.
Finally it is all put together, brewing fine and no more post brew drip. My love is very pleased. He will be bringing home the one he has in his office to be dero cleaned as well.
The Cleaning Part
Step 1: Using cleaning pod included with your Keurig, run through automatic cleaning cycle. Remove cleaning pod, discard spiked water and rinse.
Step 2: Clean removed pod holder (part that pierces KCup) and wash. Use caution when cleaning inside, so as not to poke yourself. This is the two part piece. On the side you will see the number 2, squeeze both sides and the inside piece will pop out. Thoroughly clean both piece. The outside pice eill have to small openings that will require creativity to clean. I used a straw cleaning brush. For some of the crevices, I used small scrub brushes, which I keep on hand on my sink.
Step 3: Remove small treat inside well and wash. It is not too detiled, but I also used a small scrub brush for this, Jo ensure all if the gung was removed.
Step 4: Using a wet paper towel, wipe the inside of the well. I used two and followed up with a dry one.
Step 5: Reassemble and you're done.
Note: This is also a good opportunity to wash the drip tray and wipe down the outside of the Keurig. This I do about once a week.
