How to clean your Keurig 2.0 (K350-K550 models)

[@michellecox2344]

Thank u so much. You are the only one that explained how to put back all 3 compartments. I almost broke machine and after watching your video, I couldn't believe how easy it was to put back!!!

[@wendyschwab5632]

I had no idea I could take my Keurig apart and clean it like this. I've had my Keurig for 1.5 years and was tired of having grounds in my coffee. Sooooo glad I came across this video today! Just cleaned my Keurig and descaled it and the water is back to being clear with no grounds. Thank you so much! :)

[@smkcpa]

This was very helpful - my question to the Keurig Company is this: Why the HECK aren’t these instructions in the owner’s manual? Do you want us to buy a new machine whenever the unit fills up with coffee grinds?

[@lovesmice6726]

Thank you for sharing Mike. This has been so very helpful. My Keurig was really gunky and I had no idea how to clean it. Was afraid I'd have to take it in for cleaning. Then I searched KZbin and found your video. I just took it apart and cleaned it. Thank you so very much. I'm really pleased.

[@RFMike]

+Jennifer Chin I'm glad my Video Continues to help people with there clogged Keurig's.

[@emilykeiper6007]

You sir just saved me $100 from buying a new machine. I was getting so fed up with mine and was so close to just throwing it out!! Thank you!!!

[@m9onbluetooth183]

Thank you for a very simple and thorough tutorial. I was afraid to try taking it apart, so although I've descaled regularly with vinegar the brew cup area was really gross! The cup I brewed after the cleaning was delicious! Lastly I appreciate that you didn't waste time in the video with a lot of small talk. Got right to the point.

[@cagem01]

Thank YOU SO MUCH for this video! About a month ago our Keurig started brewing slowly. We followed the troubleshooting instructions in the manual, bought a $13.00 bottle of descaling solution and it was fine. A few days ago, it started brewing slowly, etc., so we did everything, bought another bottle of descaling solution and it didn't work. We weren't sure what to do. I followed your instructions and it works like a charm now!

[@RFMike]

Good I'm glad I was able to help.

[@stevegerol5839]

Thank you for your stellar video. After 2.5 years our Keurig 2.0 quit dispensing, period. I had read about using a paper clip to clean the needles, but I wasn’t sure how to do it. I followed your method (disassembling and cleaning) and the unit now functions like new. Great job especially working one handed!

[@RFMike]

+Steve Gerol Thank you for your positive feedback.

[@margaretsmith4567]

I didn't know there was a needle in the lower unit. Keurig use to have a cleaning video but evidently took it off. They did not show the bottom needle. They did recommend using vinegar to clean. I was reading comments on this; some say their Kuerig stopped working so I diluted the vinegar with water to clean. Worked well. Thanks Mike for the added info.

[@wayneingram4675]

Thanks for the video! I was ready to raise hell with KEURIG for making a product that that only lasted 5 weeks before water just dripped out but your informative video resolved my issues. The way I see it KEURIG should put you on their payroll! If you figure 166,000 plus views saved them a lot of time and money! Thanks again.

[@elguapo5467]

FYI, the owner's manual gives an illustrated procedure to do just about everything in this video, paper clip and all!

[@RFMike]

+El Guapo yes you are correct but how many people really read it owner's manuals out there

[@elguapo5467]

True. And video helps the less technical. :)

[@spearsg]

Thanks! Yours is the one that shows us how to pop out that inner barrel assy that holds the kcup. Wow, easy thx 2 you.... i was looking for screws and snaps..lol

[@NALNALFN]

I was actually afraid to take this apart on my own. I am not very mechanical and a recent widow. This video took all the guess work out. I followed along with the video. The Keurig instruction booklets are not clear. Thank you so much.

[@anneendres7265]

Thanks for the video. I needed to pop out the cartridge holder and couldn’t remember how!! And boy am I glad I did, I found lots of coffee residue and 4 vitamins! Have a great day!

[@Pyliah]

Oh my goodness thank you. I just got a keurig as a gift and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get the pod holder out...I had no idea you could push from the bottom. Thank you very much.

[@gildalopesdossantos3196]

OMG, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! I was going crazy, I descale and was trying to figure out why was my coffee and cleaning solution were dripping all over instead from spout where the coffee comes out! Your tutorial was and is a life saver!

[@michaelkrailo5725]

I had a ton of grounds in the bottom of that last plastic piece that comes out. I started using one of those purple colored cup you get from BB&Beyond and the top keeps popping off. Thank you for showing the method for cleaning it out. Works great now.

[@Tyler123223]

Thank you very much Mike! My wife and I were always getting coffee grounds with our drinks, and we tried everything to clean it but still kept getting them. I watched your video, and that solve the problem instantly! Thank you so much again!

[@pamela1242]

I cannot thank you enough! I had a 'eco-friendly' pod explode and I could NOT get the grounds cleaned up! Now I know why. I have taken it all apart as per your instructions and it's like brand new!

[@topytyler5814]

Thank you so much. I woke up this morning and my keurig wouldn't brew. I followed your video and bam! I'm sitting here drinking a delicious cup of coffee. Thank you!

[@jenniferferrell6069]

Thank you for the tutorial. We received a K350 from my husband's father and his wife last fall because they didn't like. I don't think that they even cleaned it out before giving it to us. I will do this on the weekend.

[@ashleytaylor373]

Thank you for the video. My 2.0 started dripping about 2 ounces after making a cup. This started after I had descaled it. Followed your video and cleaned everything. There was a lot of gunk where the water exits to the cup, so the descaling worked 🤣. Works perfectly again.

[@suemorgan626]

So grateful for this! Took my employer’s Keurig apart to clean and then reassembled it incorrectly and couldn’t see where I went wrong until I followed the video. Saved me a lot of embarrassment with my employer! Thanks 😃

[@mivory5]

I greatly appreciate your detailed explanation of how to clean the Keurig coffee maker. I just purchased a new one and was concerned about how to clean the inside. Thanks a bunch!

[@yancywehmeyer7272]

This video was marvelous. I was very frustrated by the small instruction book which was of no help to me cleaning my machine. This video was excellent and very instructive. Thank you.

[@bellaosiris]

I appreciate your video a lot, i never write any comments but this one I have to post. i had my Keruig for 2 years and all of the sudden said water under pressure needs needle maintainance. I'm like what the heck do i need to do here. I found your video and good help me i was amazed. i did all your steps and Bingo!!! it worked like magic. Thank you very much.

[@MrRotery7]

Thank you so much! We got a free keurig because someone couldn't put it back together after she took it apart and bought a new one, and you just helped me fix it! Great video!

[@Sakura-om3dv]

Your instruction is more thorough than the official keurig one. Thank you 😊

[@jf73441]

What an education! I was all set to toss this Keurig to the curb! Your video saved me some bucks. Now I really know how to clean it. I would only descale and change filter. Much better! Thank you

[@myvette3866]

WOW! THIS REALLY WORKED! I was going to purchase me another keurig tomorrow but now I dont have to! THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOUR A LIFE SAVER!!

[@palabreur]

Thank you! This worked perfectly. I just used dish soap & a travel-sized toothbrush to get into all the nooks and crannies. Now there are no more dark floaty bits in my cup of tea!

[@tmtijerina]

Great instructional video! Thank you! I would only change the cleaner to dishsoap, vinrgar, etc., because houseold cleaners may leave toxic residues.

[@RFMike]

Thank you for your reply. The Green cleaner I'm using in the video has no harmful chemicals, it's safe enough to drink. It's a licensed and certified green product.

[@mikewalters8361]

I clean my plastic pieces and drip tray every 2 weeks ,so easy to pop out. Thanks for video showing how. You would not believe How dirty it gets in just 2 weeks , i even use filters in my k cups to cut down on sedimatin coffee cup.

[@facesbydeenicole]

Life saver!!! I had a headache bc I didn’t get my coffee on time due to a dirty keurig!!! I just cleaned it today and thank you!!

[@RFMike]

+Faces by DeeNicole I'm glad this is video has helped so many people.

[@christopherdurden2330]

Dude! Thank you so much. I actually made my son late for school this morning waiting for my coffee to finish. I followed your video and, presto, quick coffee. Great video.

[@terryf1953]

Thanks!! I had a pod explode and coffee grinds where everywhere!! I did the needle clean but didn't know you could do this!!!

[@Luckitheemojicatbabyabuser]

I just found this for use on my 450, worked amazing. It was making partial cups and was very dirty. this fixed it like a charm.

[@jeremiahrobbins5501]

Thanks so much! It worked! My 450 was only making partial cups and I was ready to ship it back.In fact I was getting my box and packing ready.I did exactly as you did and hey! I'm ready for my 10 oz. cups. I appreciate your time.

[@mamatekila]

10 oz! Wow. I have 8 oz and feel so guilty! Not anymore ! I love coffee

[@teeemo9437]

I followed your directions and I'm back up. Thanks so much. I know I will have to descale it soon.

[@spphr308]

I have this model Keurig K130 Brewing System and I just cleaned it with a toothbrush with a dot of dawn soap and a sponge for cleaning gently around the coffee machine

[@marnabarnett9229]

Thank you!!! We were about to purchase a new one and your video saved us that money. Cannot believe the stuff we got out of this coffer maker!!! Thanks again.

[@mistiwater]

Thanks so much for the video!! I found a bunch of coffee grounds clogging my bottom pieces. I thinking of throwing it out. Love how easy it was to clean!!

[@denisevalenzuela7021]

Thank you so so much for this video!!! I feel 100% better now that my Keurig is clean and i will do this monthly!

[@donnaa1159]

Oh my, I’ve had for years and also did not know it came apart like this to clean. Thank you for the detailed video!

[@johnthomason8287]

Thanks, Mike! My 2.0 works now! This video is better than the video published by Keurig. Plus there is the added entertainment from the idiotic comments by people who didn't like the video capture method, thought the sound wasn't loud enough, thought the video was too long, thought you were advocating the use of harmful chemicals, etc. I'm still laughing while typing this comment--they made my day. Thanks again, dude.

[@lpschocolatepie6976]

Awesome job!!!!...mines was gross...we cleaned it and still had stuff coming from it...now its squeaky clean thanks to ur gr8 tutorial!!!!!😀

[@labooboo7929]

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to make this tutorial. Mine was leaking all over the place because it was clogged up where the coffee was coming out. Now it's clean and I'm drinking a fully filled cup of coffee 😁

[@troua3895]

Super simple and step by step was self explanatory. Great tutorial.

[@Only60GamesPlayed]

I liked this model best because of the ease of cleaning the needle! I usually take very good care of them though; descaling it every 4-6 weeks! However, I usually buy a new every 2-3 years unless I have issues with them, then Keurig sends me a new one!

[@RFMike]

Thanks for sharing!

[@miket8431]

Good tips. However I found a small pipe cleaner works better than a paper clip at getting all the scuz out of the needles.

[@d1drummason]

Agreed - or an old toothbrush

[@sparrowhelm3118]

I have had mine awhile and did not know how to properly clean it! So thank you for this video! You Rock!

[@rebapeacock588]

Thank you! I’ve been trying to fix it for two days!!! Thank you! Thank you! I did exactly like you did!! It’s working! Thank you for saving me money!!

[@louferrao2044]

Awesome video! My Keurig works like it did out of the box.

[@henglao8838]

Thank you! Falling asleep without these coffee! Ready to go! Thanks again...

[@mabella1941]

It’s been a while since you posted this however I stumbled on your channel and this was really helpful. Thanks so much!! Aloha from Hawai‘i 🤙🏼

[@angelquezada6114]

You guys killed off the kauai o o bird :'(

[@w.cardenas8181]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ,. There are other videos , but this is the one that helped me to resolve my issue with my coffee maker . I’m going to make a Spanish video on this ., Thank you again .

[@presnip12]

What a good video. It worked like a charm. Now I don't have to wait, what seems like forever in the morning, to get a cup of coffee. Thanks for the tip.

[@MinisterJaiB]

Yes!!! Tfs, my Keurig is back (after 20 flushes with vinegar). I was wondering how to remove the housing...it would have never been totally clean otherwise.

[@julianshaddix7154]

Thank you so much! That was a great tutorial; I couldn’t find my Keurig instruction manual & this worked great!

[@NerdDiva]

Thank you so much! I had no clue it even came apart!! So nice and clean now!! ❤

[@latrecetaylor8017]

Thank you so much mine is now working wonderfully now. Seems like the cofee taste even better. Its definitely hotter which was the issue I was having, who wants warm coffee?! Lol

[@scljg]

Great video. Thanks. Sometimes it is difficult to find the 3 holes in my back needle. I must have a different machine - some may only have 1 hole on the back needle. Thanks again

[@gardentime-growwithme]

Dude! Your a genius! You totally saved this pregnant lady!

[@slyfox1062]

Thank you so much super helpful! I feel stupid saying this but I've only had mine a year and I didn't even know it came apart like this smh

[@bellagirl0409]

Savannah Smith join the club! I am afraid to take things apart cuz I can never get them back together again. I never investigated this till now. machine works gr8 now.

[@wendyschwab5632]

I've had mine a year and a half and had no idea until today that I could take it apart and clean it like that!!! No wonder I kept getting grounds in my coffee! SOOOOO glad I came across this video!

[@ChicaM181]

I didn’t know this too, I just cleaned my Keurig and man was it dirty, I also had it a year. Thank you

[@keena20071987]

Thanks so much for this. I had a pretty bad slow leak in mine and I was starting think I would need to purchase another machine. But this did the trick and its back to normal!!

[@andvaleli]

Thank u, great video save me from starting to smoke crack.

[@janetmurray5447]

andvaleli h

[@latrecetaylor8017]

Lol

[@budgetingwithkate]

Thank you for making this in depth video! I seriously thought mine was done! I used the expensive descaling solution and that didn't work.

[@maryrosas5634]

Learned so much thank you glad I came across your video great job

[@RFMike]

Glad it was helpful!

[@iamthewarden]

Thanks dude! You saved me from buying a new machine.

[@victorranieri3610]

Great video and aid to maintaining my coffee maker. Great bracelet too!

[@anntakaki7428]

AWESOME!!! My machine is working now! Thank you so much!!!!

[@berdajones8738]

Thanks Mike, This was an excellent video. You showed us every step. Great!

[@Abbyguy06]

Thank you. Didn’t know it was all detachable. Was going to order needle cleaner. Not necessary now.

[@rpowers9130]

Thanks - it worked! It seems like it clogs up after every de-scaling so this is very helpful.

[@jencoleman9726]

Great video. Fixed our slow water leakage problem too. Thanks.

[@elainec.s.1275]

Thank you so much. Was finally able to lift out the parts to clean the machine. Two thumbs up!

[@Dan-uv5lw]

The needles do not actually come out? I just found the third needle inside the pod? Did not know that and was never told that. I use vinegar and I did buy some Keurig solution to flush out the machine. This video was well done and very informative Thank you so vey much for posting this helpful video.

[@ceceliamccardle1957]

THANK YOU... I just did what you said and now mine works again!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

[@154angel154]

Thank you! Thank you! I came back to this vid again. It now rests nicely in my favorites lol!

[@bonezbaaaby]

I'm in the process of changing out my water filter and I kept brewing hot water only and it kept having funky pieces in the water after 4 flushes!!! I am most definitely excited to see that there is a more thorough way to clean this. Thank you. The only thing I am wondering is how dirty your sink is with leaving the pieces in there. Hahaha

[@omgedd_9937]

Most helpful video ever! Thank you so much 😊 I have needed a video like this!

[@garyarnold1165]

Thank you so much... I can't believe how much stuff came out when I ran hot water through it!!!

[@luvallrkds1]

Thank you for making this video. I took the pack holder & bottom tray out & couldn't remember how the tray went back in. Looked on Keurig website for support & couldn't find anything.

[@tillierains8864]

thank you for the video. ours was running very slow and I did what you said and it is working fine.

[@mrchayse0713]

Just FYI, there is a rubber gasket around the needle that will come off. So make sure you take care to remove it before aimlessly rinsing it over your sink. Ive had it come off before and go down my garbo, Had to order a new one. And dishsoap will work just as well.

[@RFMike]

Thank you for the info

[@_Vuhnessa]

Thank you for this! I found this useful. This morning my reusable k cup popped open while brewing and coffee grounds were everywhere

[@fire2044]

It's true, the only video that worked!!!!!! You're awesome

[@tennesseedutchboy]

Great Video. Thanks! You doing it one handed is even better! I used a toothbrush for cleaning the small parts.

[@thelopergizer2682]

Thank you for the video. I just wanted to check out someone else's perspective of descaling. one point for you...decaying removes harmful deposits from the heating element, which could destroy your Keurig. I did have a problem with mine a while ago, it went from about 60 seconds to two minutes. they sent you a cleaning cup in the packaging (it's orange and clear). there are coffee deposits that build up on the needles, slowing and interfering in the brew process. May I suggest that. Yes, you may feel spoiled (the word I think you were looking for), but I'd rather #firstworldproblems over the alternative. I've been fortunate enough to see parts of the world; we have it good, mate.

[@onemorerep6597]

Dude I had no idea you could do this, thank you so much my coffee taste good again.

[@KathySweeney]

Great Video. Thanks. I do have a question. When I took apart the pod assembly to clean it I found a tiny rubber gasket-type piece loose in the bottom of part #3 - the bottom most piece of the assembly. I think that it goes in the exit hole where the coffee comes out. Any ideas?

[@morningsniffles]

This is very useful. Esp the tiny lever that you pull in the inside. I was having a hard time puttimg it back when i took it out at the stor. I just bought one from a thrift shop. Though i cant see whwn u were cleaning the bottom needle.

[@judymcfadden3577]

Thanks for saving me money, you fixed it!

[@RFMike]

Glad I could help!

[@dianemilligan7370]

Nicely done - will give this a try! I got a ‘replace water filter’ message but have no idea where it is and I have examined the machine. I am flummoxed. Do you know?

[@denisec1915]

I found this post helpful and corrected the brewing problem. Thanks!

[@mistisassette9882]

⭐Thank you⭐ so much for taking the time to make this video! It was very helpful! ⭐You are awesome!⭐
