my reusable k-cups worked great for many months but has now started to leak out the top, you can see the top lid pops open. Sometimes I can snap the lid shut and resume, but the machine pours really slow, dribbles. I think this might be my problem too, not enough pressure or seal at the top to hold it down. Has no issues with regular k-cups, only the reusable ones.
On the top the drip needle has a silicone seal that can easily be slipped off. Those lower 'ribs' on it may wear out over time. Replacements can be purchased (Google Keurig Seal). Alternatively one could purchase a common plumbing rubber seat of the right size (~1/8" or 3 mm inside hole, outside diameter ~3/8" or 10 cm by 1/8" or 3 cm thick) and after removing the existing seal place it above the existing seal and the existing seal back.
Replace the o-ring thats around the puncture needle thats up under the hood cover. Over time it deforms from heating and cooling. Glue has petroleum in it, not very healthy.
I am having the same thing where the stream is not steady and it seems to leak underneath all over the place. So what size is that O-Ring washer thing?
Not 100% sure of the size. I'd suggest taking the lid to Lowe's or HD and picking out a rubber washer that bests fits the lid. The o-ring I used was from an assortment I had on hand.
THANK YOU! I went to brew my coffee this morning and you video was the ONLY one that addressed my issue. So thank you!

What would you replace it with?
I can't put the gasket back on. Is there a trick to it?

@@CubeComputerChannel thank you, I will do that.
I have a Supreme whose my cup has the 5 holes on the top, doing the same thing. Water or coffee dripping out around the k cup holder
I think keurig fixed this problem. They released a new My K Kuo that comes with a washer inside the k kuo.
This looks like a good fix and will try it but also my Keurig feels like it has gained a little weight inside of it from excess water. Thoughts?
These typically do store some water in the internal heating tank. These work kinda like an electric water heater.
thanks! we have the same problem. Looks like a great solution, can't wait to try it!
With my leak I'm noticing that the k cup USD open. Would that be why it's leaking? And what would be causing it to open while dispensing?
Not really sure what you're referring to? USD???
It worked THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Thank you!
I will try this.
Adding an o-ring actually made the leaking worse on mine. Any suggestions? 🥲
