Great product takes really good care of the keurig’s

Great product

I used this product to keep my machine in good shape because I am a proud coffee addict and I only drink the BEST. Here is the secret for great coffee! 1. Use Only Pods… Pods are the freshest you can get as ea cup is freshly brewed. It doesn’t matter if your Pods are fancy $5 ea or .25cents. 2. I prefer a Keurig machine - I always insist on the newest most available model (because I don’t know how to throw perfectly good money out the window as I am a very sick individual) 3. Purified Drinking Water ONLY. Not Distilled which has no minerals at all & as such is often wrongly recognized by machine as having an empty tank; spring water is often as contaminated as city water (depending where it comes from) & reverse osmosis is often not THAT Much clearer from toxins, metals, etc as any other water- it all depends on what you start with. 4. MAINTENANCE IS KEY: dirty appliances and other integral items mean bitter coffee. Trick is you to pay attention to how much coffee you are consuming and when your machine reaches its breaking point. I drink approx 8 cups a day, my husband, 2. That takes a toll on a non commercial machine. I find that in order to keep my coffee from becoming bitter quickly I need to do the following: A. Every morning run 4 cups of hot water into an empty cup (no pod) to remove all the loose coffee grounds and yellow/brown water accumulated from day before. Every couple of days I may run a rinse pod through and another 4oz of clear water afterwards. B. Most importantly is the changing of the water filters. Although the box states that a pack of six last 12 months, if you are going to make 8-10 pods a day, I can guarantee you after 2, maybe 3 weeks the coffee will be really bitter. At that point changing the filter fixes the problem. Thus a box of 6 last me approximately 3-4 months. Same with descaling. Keurig suggests descaling every 3 months, I do so every month… I also take the machine, unplug it of course and run the top portion under the faucet.. You will not BELIEVE how many grinds are in there (no soap though.. last thing you want is soap you can’t get out.. BUT REMOVE EVERY REMOVABLE ITEM AND DO THE SOAP AND WATER BIT EVERY MONTH - also remove grounds with a safety pin.. there are a number of great videos out there who show you step by step how to do this. Lastly I recommend soaking your filters in hot water for 8-10min by putting it in a plastic cup (disposable) filling it w hot water and putting another cup halfway full on top so filter stays soaking under water (THAT is a Sherri original)! I next take the filter, put it in one of the empty cups and continuously run water on it from the sink for 2 minutes to rinse off the remaining carbon. Then you get the dubious pleasure of putting your coffee machine back together.. In the words of Keurig, “Enjoy!”

READ THESE CAPS: ONCE YOU USE VINEGAR TO CLEAN A COFFEE MACHINE IT WILL NEVER EVER TASTE THE SAME AGAIN AND COULD DAMAGE THE GLUE AND SEALS USED IN ASSEMBLY. PERIOD! Now I will debunk the MYTH. Years ago some stove top coffee makers and stove top pots and warmers that were made of GLASS OR CERAMIC OR PORCELAIN, YES VINEGAR WORKS ON THAT AND "LOOSENS" but "DOES NOT REMOVE" LIME AND MINERAL DEPOSITS BY ITSELF. VINEGAR ALSO WORKS ON WINDOWS THAT HAVE COLLECTED MINERAL DEPOSITS FROM RAINSTORMS. That's how the old wives advice got started. If you use VINEGAR on METAL it is an ACID and will FOREVER CHANGE THE METAL SURFACE AND THE TASTE OF ANYTHING IT CONTACTS. Anyone who ever paid attention in high school chemistry knows this! THIS KIT USES CITRIC ACID WHICH HAS NO TASTE AND IS BETTER AT REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS AND LIME THAN VINEGAR SINCE ITS CHEMICAL COMPOSITION IS BETTER STRUCTURED FOR IT. Anyone that paid attention in chemistry class in high school knows that too. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BRAND OR THE PROFITS, IT'S THE ONLY CORRECT WAY TO DO THIS. QUIT BEING A CHEAPSKATE AND RUINING YOUR COFFEEMAKER AND WASTING MONEY IN THE END. I gave it 4 stars because I know the real price of citric acid by the gallon. You can do this without the kit but if you don't remember chemistry class from high school then you better buy this kit and follow the directions for your own safety. THESE ARE THE REAL FACTS. THIS WILL NEVER CHANGE. PERIOD.

Works great to descale my Keurig brewer.

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS for safety and use. The two large bottles of descale is worth it. Cleans well. BE sure and rinse well with water.

Been using this for years. Works very well and pretty good value for the money. Easy to use and install. Coffee tastes better after cleaning.

I really don't know why this is required (except for a money grab opportunity). It's very expensive to have to replace this every 2 months. I just let the DESCALE light keep blinking, and make my coffee as usual. I had my previous Keurig for almost 10 years, and the descale light never once came on. It seems now it's just programmed to go off every 30 days whether it actually needs it or not. Having said this, it ruined my Keurig slim. After descaling, and having a hard time getting the light to go out, now, about 50% of the time when I attempt to make a cup, just a big blob of water comes out at the start, and the brew cycle ends. I have to pop the chamber up and reseat it, and start the cycle again. A few times I thought I was losing my mind when I started the cycle, walked away and seeing an empty cup on my return. I'm just going to use the old vinegar method if I feel the quality of my brewed cup has decreased. It's a heck of a lot cheaper.
