    What you Need to Clean Your Keurig with Vinegar

    • Your Keurig
    • White Vinegar
    • Sponge

    Steps for How to Clean Your Keurig

    Step 1

    Gather the supplies, which is super easy since all your really need is your machine, a sponge, white vinegar and your Keurig. And unplug the machine.

    Step 2

    Remove the water out of the Keurig and fill the reservoir half way with White Vinegar. Place a coffee cup as if you were going to make a cup of coffee. Press the button to start the brew process. Repeat this process for two cycles without a K-cup in it. Pour out the vinegar in the coffee cup.

    Step 3

    Empty out all the vinegar in the reservoir. Fill the reservoir half way up with water. The vinegar creates a descaling solution. Place a coffee cup as if you were going to make a cup of coffee and tun two brew cycles without a K-cup in it. Pour out the water in the coffee cup. Wipe down the entire unit including the cup holder, water reservoir and lid, and inside the drip tray. The sponge will help you clean away any extra coffee grounds. Refill the reservoir to the fill line with fresh water and it is ready to start making coffee and tea again. Now it is time to start enjoying a brewed cup of coffee again.

    It is recommended that you do this once every 3-6 months.

    Can you believe how easy it is to clean your Keurig.

      Did you find that you had to run water through your Keurig a few times before the coffee stopped having a vinegar-ish taste to it? I NEVER clean my Keurig (poor thing!) but recently I decided it was probably disgusting not to so I basically did the exact same thing you did only I found that my coffee tasted like vinegar. I ended up running water through it like seven times before I got a coffee that tasted normal. I'm wondering if I did something wrong or if maybe it was just my machine?

        Hi Carly
        I ran water through it about 6 times because my daughter loves to make me coffee. I did not taste the vinegar at all. I had never cleaned it before either. Hope it goes away for you.
