How to descale a Keurig
Note: Descaling means removing calcium, magnesium, limestone deposits, and other minerals formed in a coffee maker. These mineral deposits aren’t toxic. But if they’re not cleaned every once in a while from your coffee maker, they can worsen its performance and affect the taste of your coffee.
That’s why using bottled or filtered water is best. If your water has a high mineral content, you might need to perform the descaling process more frequently. Some models of the Keurig system will remind you when to descale with the warning “Time to descale the brewer!”
This reminder monitors the quantity of liquid that’s passed through the system and then prompts you to descale. If you postpone the process, the system will remind you again in a couple of weeks. The reminder will only go away once the system has been successfully completed.
When: Every 3 to 6 months or when day-to-day brewing becomes slower.
How: The process varies from model to model. So be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
