We've all been there, your Keurig coffee maker is taking forever to make a cup of coffee. Keurig coffee makers are subject to slowing down and getting plugged up because of minerals in our water. On this TH-cam video, How To Clean A Keurig Coffee Maker, we will show you step-by-step directions on how to clean your Keurig coffee maker. We use the official Keurig descaling solution, because we believe that's what works best. Obviously you can use white vinegar or any other cleaning solution that is not harmful to humans, but the Keurig descaling solution seems to work best for us. We invite you to watch our video on how to clean a Keurig coffee maker and let us know what you think in the comment section. In the video, we show you the official method recommended by your coffee maker manufacturer, Keurig. The instructions are printed on the label but they are incredibly difficult to read. In this TH-cam video, we show you the step by step procedure as described by the manufacturer. Most of us have some sort of minerals in our water. Minerals in water are what cause problems. If you have particularly hard water, you will need to clean your coffee maker more often. If you don't clean your coffee maker and you have hard water, your Keurig coffee maker could become completely clogged. It's a good idea to clean your coffee maker twice a year if you have hard water. It's very important to clean your coffee maker if you have hard water that includes calcium. Calcium can completely plug up a Keurig coffee maker. Using the method described in the video a couple of times per year, will help you make Keurig coffee clean so that it can brew coffee fast!

thank you for this...the keurig.ca site does not even post videos for this even though their instruction manual suggests the website for help on cleaning
Thanks. Right to the point.
Sharon Barry, you're welcome, thanks for the feedback, Mike ☺
Thanks man...I've had my Keurig for YEARS, used distilled water and never had a problem. I got lazy and started using bottled "spring" water and started having water pressure issues about a year ago. I just used the descaling solution, now it's back to normal and I'm going back to distilled water!
D. C.H, you are welcome my friend, thank you for your feedback, Mike ☺
Hi thanks for your video it helps me a lot. My question : the filter it has to be out the container when you pite the chemical liquid? And how can I depure fully the appliances? Cause all the time it has water leftover into the container and I feel is the same I side the keurig, so I meant that the machine keep water inside. Could you help me? I bought this on the second hand , and it was coming still with water inside, So I depure many times with water maybe a galón but I wonder if it is normal? And how Can depure it completely if I need keep it without use?
I VOTE HIM TO BE THE NEW MR. ROGERS!

I agree, I also vote him to have the most earth quake unfriendly ceiling.
Haha, it took me awhile to figure out what you were saying.
@@Getmytips Hahaha, I hope you're having a good day, I just subscribed to you. 😀
Me too...he has what I call a radio voice.
Thanks for your help, my coffee keurig is ready.
Adrian Villacis, you're welcome, thank you for your feedback, Mike ☺
thank you because its my first time to use the Keurig coffee maker and I cant wait get the Distilled water on Friday woohoo
jennifer blackwell, you are welcome. If you can't find distilled water you may be able to find purified drinking water. It's pretty much the same thing is distilled water because all of the minerals have been removed. Mike

Welcome 👍 🧔
I am a commercial kitchen master technician. This man is not only correct but he is a PREACHER! Preach it my brother. You have no idea what chemicals are being used out there. This is a food grade safe chemical.
Thanks for the kind words my friend, Mike 🙂
Thanks for this video. I just bought this solution today and didn't know how to use it. I laughed my head off when you said peel of the label for directions. I was wondering why I didn't see any 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're welcome, thanks for the feedback, Mike 🙂
thanks buddy
You're welcome!
I have a question for anyone that should know the answer.
A keurig customer service rep once told me on the phone that if we use RO water we won't even need to use the filters. Is this true?
Also, she told me that if I am using RO water, that I NEED to sometimes add a water to my reservoir that does contain minerals (once a week, for example). She said Keurigs were produced to best work with a water carrying minerals. For example, she mentioned spring water....to sometimes pour a little spring water in it as to NOT confuse the sensors/system which was manufactured to work best WITH mineral water. It will prolong the life of my Keurig machine. My mother told the same thing and she also uses RO water. Does anyone know this to be accurate information, or are they trying to pull wool over our eyes so that we will just need to by a new one sooner?
Thanks~~~
That was great but how about the keurig rinse pods? Should those be used also and do the pods replace the descailer?
I have never used the new Keurig rinse pods so I can't speak intelligently about those. Perhaps someone who has can offer up an answer for you, Mike
What about the filter? It told me not to used distilled water on my Keurig. Thanks for information
Mine is an older model that did not come with a filter. But yes, you should definitely remove the filter before starting the cleaning. I use distilled water now and have not had any problem since, so I don't know why you can't use it. Mike ☺
I dont have a clock or button that lighs up when my keurig needs cleaning now how long does tha solution sit in the reservoir and how many times do you rinse it?this is first time owning one I dont have a booklet as it wuz given to me..so any ideas will b very greatful thank
Dorothy Tommy, I always run at least 2 reservoirs of water through after I clean it. Mike ☺
Alright thank you
This makes me wonder why all bottled water isn't distilled in the first place? I always keep a 2 gallon bottle of filtered water, but never thought of distilled. Thank you!
Money! It's always about the money. It cost money to distill water and there isn't much of a demand for it. Also some folks like the minerals. The minerals are added to filtered water in some water brands, Mike ☺
I'm assuming that the filter was taking out before. this is the fourth video that has missed this step.
How about spring water is that the same as distilled
JT 1200, no no not at all. Spring water is essentially the opposite of distilled water. Spring water has lots of minerals in it and no telling what they might be. I prefer to drink spring bottled water because it's the minerals that give it a little bit of flavor. Also your body needs the minerals to function properly. But your coffee maker will not benefit from the use of spring water, Mike ☺
Question: would using reverse osmosis water be as effective as distilled water? I use RO water in my steam vaporizers and it seems that there is a small salt build up on the heating elements( because we have a softener,too). I’m thinking the same thing may happen in the Keurig. What are your thoughts?
Joanne, Yes I think reverse osmosis water would be just as effective as distilled water in preventing a buildup. Trust me, if I had a reverse osmosis system, I would definitely be using that water.
Great! Thanks a bunch!!
You are welcome. ☺
Great tutorial. Question, where do you get your TH-cam stickers from?
TH-cam stickers? Not sure what you are referring to, Mike 🧓

I use GooGone coffee maker cleaner..so much stronger than the keurig one..just a few tbsp are needed per cup..
Hey, thanks for the tip. I will definitely check it out. Mike ☺
Once you open the gallon of distilled water do you need to refrigerate it?
The Glampetts, nope, you can rest it right on the kitchen counter if you like. Mike ☺
I did.nt know the destiled water is drinkable is it??
Yes it certainly is. It lacks the minerals that you find in other water but it is certainly consumable, Mike
Your machine doesn't have a charcoal filter like mine...K55 select....model.....and vinegar will do the same if allowed to soak and rinsed several times...also. I do a small cup brew with just water after every use...keeps it clean....I think my combined machine and filter does a better job then your chemicals....never had a clog in 1/1/2 years.....also..coffee only in my machine ...hot chocolate and tea just need hot water no pods..
William, tanks for your comment. The effectiveness of vinegar depends on the quality of the water that goes into the coffee maker. In other words, different areas have different types of minerals in their water. For me, vinegar did not seem to be that effective. That's why I switched and used a descaling solution.
where do you get distilled water? none of the stores carry it here. so what to do
Queen Sheza, where is here? Mike
west coast of Washington state
I'm pretty sure that's Safeway has distilled water but you can also use spring water. Portland spring water wood work great also. Mike
If you have a Walmart nearby they carry distilled. You can usually find it in the isle that carries water or the baby section
I use white vinegar it cleans good.. Machine works much better.
Hi Stephanie thanks for your comment. Yes vinegar does a good job, it really does depend on what type of minerals are in your water. For me living in Florida, with lots of calcium in the water, vinegar did not work as well as the Keurig descaling solution. Mike
Get My Tips okay I live in Philly the water is pretty soft
Stephanie, Since you have city water, my guess is that most of the minerals have been removed. And by the way, if you have not seen our latest video, How To Make KFC Potato Wedges At Home, I invite you to check it out. Here is the link ~ th-cam.com/video/CU2aPxxfSWY/w-d-xo.html
I just put the solution in the water tank that it
I wouldn't use distilled water. If you read the instruction manual, it specifically says to not use it in the Keurig.
I wonder why that is? Any idea? Mike 🙂
Ironically.. I had the kureg I'm using for a couple years. I'd never run any solution threw it before and it worked fine. A friend of mine convinced me that I needed to run this solution threw it from time to time. Well I did. Now I have all kinds of problems with it. Like slow brews.. not filling all the way up or completely stopping all together. It's a freaking nightmare now. I'd say if you pot works fine and the coffee is good. Don't touch it.
I'm sorry to hear that you had a no problem. I'll be willing to guess that you live in an area where the water is high in calcium carbonate. If you don't clean it often you'll wind up with a situation that once it starts to slow down and get slightly restricted if you do clean it, the cleaner breaks loose too much of the calcium. So if you know that you live in an area where the water is high with minerals especially calcium, you should clean the coffee-maker more often and then you won't have any problem. Mike
@@Getmytips I shoulda left it alone I guess.. it worked fine before. Should I run like a bunch of solution threw it to clear it then?
Sorry but unfortunately there's probably not too much you can do about it. I have completely disassemble a couple of them trying to break loose the crud but it usually gets up inside where the heater. The heater is a very narrow passagesway with small tubing. I even tried using compressed air to blow it out to no avail. I recommended to both those folks that when they get their new one they switch to distilled water or at least spring water. Mike
Just use vinegar , that is probably what is in that bottle.
Thank you for your feedback however that is not what is in the bottle! In fact, I tried vinegar and because my water in Florida, is extremely hard, it did not get the job done. Mike
starlite556 Vinegar in these is NASTY so much better to use this stuff, no vile taste!
They say using distilled water gives coffee bad taste. Minerals are part of the brew flavor
Rick Raco, I use distilled water to make coffee now and it tastes just fine. Mike ☺
Isn't drinking distilled water dangerous because it has no minerals? What are your thoughts on that?
Jordan Miller, I assume that you are saying distilled water is dangerous because our body needs the minerals to conduct electricity in our brains and our nerves. Is that correct? Mike ☺
@@Getmytips I'd say if coffee is your only consumed liquid then you should be worried about that. Please drink water too. Oops, I also realized I just left this comment to @Get My Tips
Isn’t he Wilford Brimley?
Yep that's me. As far as acting goes, everybody leaves acting for a while, cuz they ain't got a job...
Sit overnight? It's vinegar! Except for the taste, one could drink coffee made with it.
Actually their Descaling solution is Citric Acid. It's naturally occurring in citrus fruits. It can still be an eye and skin irritant and cause tooth corrosion, but I still don't understand why it would be important to let sit overnight 🤷♀️
Thanks for your recommendations, however, your video is not totally accurate. The Keurig website recommends running the "largest mug size" through the machine - not the smallest. Another tip, to reset the computer unplug for a minimum of 30 seconds if the coffee maker is not responding.
It also states DO NOT USE DISTILLED WATER
I just bought on Black Friday and already looking to clean it. 😂😂
Keurig Descaling Solution does not remove minerals from very hard water.
Why the whole damn bottle if you only cycle one cup through the machine 😑
I'm sorry. Has no one noticed the chicken hanging from the utensil rack? That is the first thing I noticed...
Actually lots of people have noticed it. I invite you to check out my primary TH-cam channel, @KitchenTipsOnline, Mike 🧔
You are so cute
The car horn annoys me.
Go slower so that I can write everything down!!
Carol, Sorry you are having trouble. The pace of the video is set by the people who watch our videos. If we go slow, people are so impatient nowadays they will simply click away. It's the way it is in today's instant gratification society. The good news is, all you have to do is stop the video and back it up to listen again to whatever you missed.
