What should you be cleaning every 3 to 6 months
The inside of your coffee machine requires maintenance the least often, but it’s not something you should ignore entirely. Hard water build-up is what clogs up these machines the most. Even with filtered water, calcium deposits slowly develop all over the inside of your trusted Keurig.
And even though this doesn’t present a serious health concern like bacteria and mold, this build-up can severely impact how effectively your machine works. Depending on how many cups of coffee you make on a regular basis, you’ll have to descale your machine somewhere around 2-4 times a year.
Keurig sells a descaling solution online, but cleaning experts say that distilled white vinegar works just as well. The descaling process can vary depending on your model. So make sure you read the instructions on Keurig’s website for when your machine is due for a tune-up.
