If your refrigerator has a Keurig K-cup
brewing system, you should clean the
brewer after each use to remove any
leftover grounds and prevent clogs.
After brewing, remove the brewer by pulling it
straight out, holding the cup underneath
to catch any drips. Then discard the
k-cup pod. Rinse the brewer under running
water or wash it on the top rack of your
dishwasher, making sure to rinse it
thoroughly after the wash cycle is complete.
If you experience a clog in the brewer,
you should also clean the upper piercing pin.
To clean the upper pin, with the
brewer closed insert a straight ended
paperclip into the small hole at the top
of the brewer and gently push it
straight down into the piercing pin.
Move the paperclip up and down in the pin a few times.
Next, open the brewer lid and find the
outlet holes for the pin. Use the
paperclip to push any clogging materials
out of the holes. Rinse by running water
in the top of the brewer and through the pin.
Then rinse the top of the pin under
a stream of water.
Now your Keurig brewer will be clean and ready for the next cup of coffee.
