This was exceptionally good advice and concise. We had nothing to lose and it wasn't until we tried all 4 possible solutions that we actually fixed our problem. The machine hasn't run so well in years. Wow Lou I'm now a subsciber. Thanks so much.
Lou, Thank you very much!!!! This video saved me from buying a new Keurig!!! I cleaned the metal filter and it pumps like it was brand new!!!! AWESOME!!!!!
Thank you for making this video. I was ready to trash my Keurig. I took off the top lid to find the elbow tube clogged with coffee grinds. Thanks again!
What a perfect description of how to fix my coffee maker. The first step was all I needed - but now I'm ready in case something else goes wrong. Thank you for taking time to clearly explain and demonstrate the inner workings of the Keurig plumbing.
Thank you! At first it was brewing slow and then my screen became blank. But thanks to RU-vid and you, I was able to fix the screen, and realize that the top puncher hole of the Keurig was clogged with coffee grinds. Cleaned it out and brews normally again! Thank you!
Thank you so much for such clear and concise information and how to troubleshoot. I descaled my machine, water would come through no problem, but it was a sad pathetic trickle of coffee attempting to brew to no avail. I had no idea that the bottom part where then lower needle is came off and after cleaning that out with some metal wire I was back to enjoying my much needed morning coffee. Thank you son much for presenting this information in such an accessible way!
I made a mistake in pulling the ring all the way over the water line elbow but was able to get it back on. I also struggled to get the black cap back on but a squeeze and a punch to the front end of the cap did the trick. Thanks - this video was a sanity-saver for me!
Great video! FOR MINE, the issue was actually a clogged carbon filter "pouch" (looks like a teabag) that is located in the bottom of the holder. It's the tall black thing in the water reservoir that sits on top of the metal filter you showed in your video. It just pulls up and off, then I used a flat screwdriver in the notch to pull out the assembly. Ordered a six-pack of replacement filters on Amazon for $6. Runs perfect again!
Thanks for posting this video, I would have never figured out how to open that top lid myself ever. And once opened, wallah, I could see the debris blocking the outlet pipe. Now it works like a charm and you saved me over $$$, thanks for posting this great video.
After some struggle, I managed to get the bottom off of the K-cup holder and cleaned inside it as you demonstrated. I think it helped. It's running nicely now. When I get a bit more ambitious, I'll check under the upper portion and clean out that tube.
Thank you! We've been suffering with a slow Keurig for a while. Replacing it was mentioned, but I figured I'd search to see what fixes the Hive Mind had. It was the second one. The needle - you could blow through it easily, but you couldn't easily pass a paper clip until I forced it. A big chunk of ick popped out. Though we clean the pod holder regularly, the needle clearly wasn't cleaned well enough. Hasn't worked this well in a long time! Thanks, again!
Great video! We’re in the process of working on ours now. I like how when one step doesn’t work, you continue with other areas to fix. Wish us luck! (I’m sure we’ll get it fixed with your clear instructions.)
If it is slow, but still running, empty the tank and fill it with vinegar and make several cups of hot vinegar. The acid in the vinegar eats the calcium and lime that are clogging you up. Good luck!
Great video it helped me a lot! The mesh screen at the bottom of my water tank was clogged! Rinsed it out and descaled the machine with vinegar and it’s as good as new!!! Thanks!
Whoa, thanks so much for this! I noticed my parents' Keurig has slowed down considerably, so tomorrow, I hope to restore it back to its former glory lol
puncture needle in a diff model clogged with a couple ground flakes, , , blew it out, fixed. i didnt know the cup holder actually sepreated into two pieces for cleaning. thanks
Thanks Lou! The calcium in the tube was my issue. A Qtip dipped in vinegar worked well. HOWEVER it’s important to note that putting the screws back in is a tricky task for the average Joe (or Jill in this case). The screw fell inside the machine somewhere. No luck getting it out by turning the machine upside down either. So I’m using it now without the decorative black cap and hose exposed. It works fine, but I feel like that runaway screw is gonna come back and haunt me! LOL thanks again!
Oh my. The stuff I unearthed from my Keurig looked like some kind of primordial black sea snot. So slimy! So disgusting!!! Thank you. It works great now; I just don't know how I will ever get over the thought that I was drinking coffee from that horrifying petri dish of a machine. Brrrrr.
Fill your tank with white vinegar and brew it all through. Repeat several times until it speeds up. The acid in the vinegar eats out the calcium that is clogging your internal pipes.
Ok maybe I need to perform some of this in reverse as it seems a slower brew makes BETTER coffee. Some things are worth waiting for, no instant gratification. The water in these devices moves thru the grounds too fast. 2x as long would be just right.
