"It can be tricky to figure out how to clean your Keurig, but it's important work. If your household is like mine, your pod coffee maker runs anywhere from three to seven times per day. All of that use can cause buildup and gunk, which can affect the taste of your coffee and the lifespan of your machine. But with proper maintenance and a dedicated routine, cleaning is a breeze. Here's everything you need to know about light daily cleaning as well as deeper cleans."
"To clean the housing of your Keurig coffee maker or other pod machine, just take a damp cloth and wipe down the outside. You can clean the K-Cup holder and needle by brushing or vacuuming away any loose debris like coffee grounds-be careful near the needle part since, obviously, it's sharp. Some machines come with a needle cleaning tool that you insert into the top and bottom of the needle, and a few people on various forums have used a paper clip instead."
"To clean your drip tray and water reservoir, remove them and wash them by hand with hot, soapy water (though avoid using too much dish soap to prevent buildup). If your machine came with a carafe, wash it by hand or pop it in the dishwasher if it's dishwasher-safe. Let them air dry or wipe them down with a lint-free towel after rinsing them off. You should be replacing the fresh water in your reservoir often, especially if it's been sitting for a while."
Frequent use of a Keurig can cause buildup and gunk that affect coffee taste and machine lifespan. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and clean the K‑Cup holder and needle by brushing or vacuuming loose grounds, taking care around the sharp needle. Use a supplied needle tool or a paper clip to clear needle openings; removable pod holders can be soaked in hot water. Unplug the machine before more involved cleaning. Remove the drip tray and water reservoir and wash them by hand with hot, soapy water, rinse, and air dry or towel dry. Replace reservoir water frequently and change water filters every two to three months.
