Descaling a Keurig is the process of removing mineral buildup from the internal components of the machine. Over time, minerals from the water used to brew coffee can accumulate and cause the machine to malfunction. Descaling regularly helps to extend the life of the machine and ensures that it continues to brew great-tasting coffee.
There are a few different ways to descale a Keurig, but the most common method is to use a descaling solution. Descaling solutions are available at most grocery stores and home improvement stores. To descale a Keurig using a descaling solution, simply follow the instructions on the package. Generally, this involves adding the descaling solution to the water reservoir and running a brew cycle without a coffee pod. The descaling solution will dissolve the mineral buildup and flush it out of the machine.
