Easy Way to Clean a Keurig Coffee Maker

Whether you love or hate the Keurig Coffee Maker, it’s still one of my favorite and most used appliances in my house. I am the lone coffee drinker in my house and I love the convenience and taste of Keurig coffee. One thing that’s frustrating with a Keurig coffee maker though is how to clean it! You’ve all heard the stories about the bacteria that builds up in the Keurig and how to descale a Keurig on a regular basis, but I have the easy way to clean a Keurig Coffee Maker without any chemicals!!

how to descale a keurig

Let’s start with the basics on how to clean your Keurig Coffee Maker.

What you need:

Coffee Mug

Wet Cloth

Dry Towel

White Distilled Vinegar

Steam Cleaner

Step One.

Unplug your machine and get a coffee mug, wet cloth, dry towel, and white distilled vinegar.

Step Two.

Fill your Keurig water reservoir about half full with vinegar and swish around the tank with the lid on. If you want to descale the Keurig, then vinegar helps with this process. Fill the rest of the reservoir up with water and then run the machine on the brew cycle without the K-cup inserted. The Keurig will likely ask you if you want to dispense hot water, which is what you want.

*Repeat this process until all the water in the reservoir is used up.how to clean keurig

Step Three.

Fill the reservoir up completely with water again and repeat the process of running hot water through the tank. This helps flush out ALL the vinegar. If you don’t do this well, you’ll notice that your coffee creamer will curdle in your coffee the next time you make it (no bueno!).

*It’s recommended that you do this every 3-6 months with your Keurig.

Step Four.

After your reservoir is nice, clean, and descaled, focus on taking apart the inner pieces where the K-cup goes. I like to use my Steam Machine’s smallest nozzle to get in there and steam clean the insides of that area. I place a coffee mug underneath to catch the water and what falls out as a result was fairly gross. The Steam Machine kills 99% of germs within your Keurig just by using the power of STEAM! This is the chemical free way to clean a Keurig.

Step Five.

Wipe your Keurig down with a wet cloth on the outside and dry off thoroughly. Don’t forget to wash any parts that come off with warm, soapy water (this includes the base of the machine which catches the excess coffee! It’s the perfect place for MOLD to grow!).

Step Six.

Reassemble your machine and enjoy the peace of mind knowing that your Keurig is clean and chemical free.

Don’t forget while you’re going through this process to check the status of your Keurig Water Filter to ensure that it doesn’t need replaced. You should be descaling the Keurig with this process every 3-6 months to ensure top quality performance and tasty coffee!

So there you have it! The EASY way to clean a Keurig is even easier than I bet you thought it would be! Let me know if you have any questions or Keurig Cleaning Tips in the comments!

  • Here’s another memory from our recent trip to Maui, since I’m a warm weather girl at heart ☀️ We got matching mommy and me flower crowns, called Haku Lei, for a family photo shoot. @petite.maui  blew it out of the water with these gorgeous orchid-filled crowns, the smallest one for our littlest girl. So sweet 🌺 #hawaii #maui #flowercrown #tropicalvibes🌴 #mauivacation #princess #hawaiianlife #hawaiianprincess #familytravel #familytrip #familytime #minime #love #mommyandme #sisters #sisterlove #tropical #tropicalescape #tropicalvacation #travel #lifestyle #travelgram
  • We just returned from Maui and I’m already ready to go back. Between the sunshine, crystal clear water, and amazing food, it is truly paradise on earth. We stayed very low-key and played at the beach most of the time,  but did discover some very cool spots to explore, even with kids! More to come soon on the website. #travelwithkids #maui #bestbeaches #napilibay #westmaui #familieswhotravel #travelingwithtoddlers #hawaiivacation #babybeach #whalewatching #wanderlust #bucketlist #familytime #mauilife #familyadventures #thecardswedrew #travel #lifestyle #travelgram #travelblogger #traveltheworld
