Description

Keurig® Descaling Solution is an important step to cleaning and caring for your Keurig® coffee maker. When used every 3 months, or as often needed, Keurig® Descaling Solution safely and effectively cleanses and removes mineral buildup from inside your coffee maker which can affect brewer performance, taste, and quality of your beverages. An important step of your Keurig® coffee maker maintenance routine, Keurig® Descaling Solution keeps your coffee maker clean, performing at its peak, and beverages tasting their best. Keurig® Descaling Solution is the only Keurig® recommended cleaning solution to be used with all Keurig® coffee makers. Descaling is an important process that cleans the inside of your coffee maker. Over time, calcium deposits called scale can build up inside your coffee maker. If left unchecked, these buildups can affect the performance of your coffee maker and taste of your beverages. Keurig® Descaling Solution is an effective, fast-acting, and odorless solution which helps clean and remove calcium and mineral deposits to keep your coffee maker clean and brewing at its best. To preserve longevity of your coffee maker, we recommend using Keurig® Descaling Solution every 3 months or as often as needed (depending on the mineral content of your water, you may need to descale more frequently). Keurig® Descaling Solution is compatible with all Keurig® coffee makers.

Q: Just bought a Keurig K-70 coffee maker from a thrift store & did the pre brew sequence. Made first cup and now the menu says to "descale". We use distilled water. Do we really need to descale?

submitted by MommyBear - 6 years ago
  • A: You should never drink distilled water as it will draw calcium and other minerals from your body. Distilled water is only for irons and steamers, not consumption.

    submitted byDeborahChico - 6 months ago
  • A: We recommend descaling your brewer every 3 to 6 months depending on your water quality. Scale is harmless, but if left unattended, it can hinder optimal brewer performance. Descaling your brewer regularly helps maintain the heating element, removable water reservoir and other parts of the brewer that come in contact with water. You can find descaling video instructions here:http://krg.bz/2wHyPzo. Also, you can use distilled water in your Keurig brewer but we don't recommend it because it can change the taste profile of your coffee by making it bitter.

  • A: While you may be using distilled water, the previous owner(s) might not have. I would suggest descaling at least once for that reason alone.

Q: where does rinse pod go

submitted by Putzburgh - 1 year ago
  • A: Thanks for your question. Keurig Rinse Pods are easy to use, simply insert a Keurig® Rinse Pod into the Pod Holder of your coffee maker, lower the handle and brew once on the 8oz. brew setting. We hope this helps!

Q: With my first Keurig, years ago, I could use vinegar for descaling. It was convenient and much cheaper. Can I still use vinegar in place of the solution i have to buy in my new model?

submitted by Lori - 2 years ago
  • A: Thanks for your question, Lori! We recommend descaling solution but you can certainly use distilled white vinegar in place of it. We hope this helps!

My keurig worked with the descale light lit. Did exactly what the descale kit said to do. The descale light stayed on, the add water wouldn't light and it would no longer power up.

Descaling problems

1 out of 5 stars
Dedek - 2 months ago
originally posted on keurig.ca
I purchased our Keurig single cup coffee brewer and after 2 month descaling light came on. I used Keurig solution as per instruction 2 times in row and the light stayed on. We used the coffee maker with descaling light blinking it was making coffee. After about a month I give it another try and used a whole bottle of descaling solution and no success. We have a Kitchen Aid coffee maker at our Lakehouse home for over 2 years and I had never need to do any descaling. Not sure if s a solution that does nothing or is the Keurig coffee maker.

Solution did what it claims to do, but definitely YouTube the instructions; the instructions on the bottle are totally wrong. Went around in circles for about 10 minutes before just Googling it.

I used this to descale my Keurig Mini. My daughter used it to descale her Keurig K Compact. We both loved the results. The coffee taste is much bolder. Just smelling the coffee as it drips down, smells amazing.

The label is incomplete. You have to press 8 and 12 together to descale. Keurig needs to correct
