Question 1

How often should a Keurig coffee maker be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

The outside is easy to keep clean and should be done weekly as part of your regular kitchen cleaning routine. The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned as often as needed. For a full descale, Keurig suggests you complete one every 3-6 months. Filter replacement will depend on use, but should be done approximately every 2 months.

Question 2

How do I clean the bacteria outside of the machine?

Accepted Answer

To safely clean your Keurig the right way, start by turning off your machine and unplugging it from the wall. Using soap and a wet microfiber cloth, wipe down the outside of the Keurig. Slide-out the drip tray and wash that separately in the sink with soap and water. Do not submerge the unit directly into the water as electric shock can occur.

Question 3

How do you clean a reusable Keurig filter?

Accepted Answer

Place an empty filter holder into a bowl with 2 parts water and 1 part pure white vinegar. Allow the filter holder to soak for 30 minutes. Next, rinse the filter under the tap and allow to air try.

Question 4

Any other tips for cleaning the individual pieces?

Accepted Answer

Start by turning off your coffee machine and unplugging it from the wall. Disassemble all of the removable parts such as the coffee pod K-Cup holder, funnel and water reservoir. Clean with soapy water and place back into the machine while still wet. Drying them could leave lint that will clog up the machine.
