hey guys welcome back to my youtube channel I'm here today to tell you how
to clean your Keurig I have the model SS- 10 by Cuisinart but this goes to any
Keurig model you should have this thing forever I've had my since 2010 I thought
it was broken you know the first time I was devastated I emailed them and they
send me back some instructions so I'm here to share the wealth so that
you can have your Keurig forever ok so what you need to clean your Keurig
descale is another word you need a paperclip
you need a wet cloth I just use paper towel because I'm super fancy and you
need vinegar and water so if your Keurig is broken the first broken the first
thing you want to do is unplug it just unplug it if you hear it grinding away
or it's not doing anything no coffees coming out
unplug the bad Larry unplug it leave it there for about a minute
and then plug it back in and see if it's working this literally happened to me
this morning and I wish I could show you but I'm a rookie and I filmed it
landscape instead of horizontal so I can't show you because it'll flip my
whole youtube video anyways first step unplug it leave it for a minute or two
and then plug it back in and try it again if it's still not working
take a cup and just start running it with all the k-cup in it run it a couple
times with just the hot water see if it works so that's step two if it's still
not working unplug the thing again for another
minute just to clear the heebie-jeebies out plug it back in
no K-cup inserted at all what you want to do is you want to take this this
thing the k-cup out so I'll show it to you closer up so this is the third step
if it's still not working you want to take this this little the K cup holder
out so I don't think I can do this while I'm showing you but you're gonna push
this bottom up it's kind of just inserted and
and then take it out I'm gonna push this for the back so you can maybe see me
it's not hard just requires a so I got one prong up let the other prong out
okay now it's up so the K cup holder is out
I would rinse this thing first then you want to take your paper clip and you
want to kind of just stick it in these little holes clean it out make sure no
coffee is is in there and then you want to take the paperclip
and you want to just make sure like nothing's here don't don't be poking it
around anyway but you do want to insert it into the sharp hole that that
punctures each K Cup shove it into this these little holes up here don't go
crazy don't go breaking anything but just clean
it out and make sure there's no coffee in there so here let me bring you closer
I can show you what I'm talking about I think see right up here there's this
little metal thing if you just kind of want to shove the paperclip in there and
just make sure that there's no coffee remnants floating around so try that run
it through you know insert this back in has little arrows align the holder make
sure again you don't break it hear that click back in okay run it a couple times
get the get all the grinds out of the air take this paper towel make sure you
clean all this area out cuz look at mine it's filthy I'm the clean I want to have
two when it's not working anymore so play it all the grinds out and then run
it with hot water you don't need to run over the cake I've just running with hot
water to make sure it's all brewing properly not grinding alone okay so step
one was unplug the thing plug it back in a minute later step two was to just try
to run it through with some hot water if that still doesn't work
step three was to take out the K cup holder clean out everything in there
stick the paperclip in this little silver prod be careful it's sharp so and
then try and test it again with hot water if it is still not working you
need to descale the machine easy don't let it don't let it overwhelm you what
you want to do is you want to fill this chamber with half vinegar just wait
distilled vinegar I buy mine at Costco for cheap cheap they sell it at Walmart
the market wherever you want filled with half vinegar white vinegar
and half water and then just keep brewing and brewing and brewing so you
literally gonna fill it with half water no K- cup inserted you stick a cup here
and just keep hitting you know 12 put it on the highest one that you have large
cup 12 and just keep brewing hot water until all this runs dry then what you're
going to want to do is fill it with water again just plain water run it
through till everything is gone because now you have vinegar in there so you
don't want to taste vinegar coffee it tastes disgusting
believe me so run it again run this all the way through its takes a little bit
of time but it's not a big deal it's easy peasy and like me you I've had this
since 2010 you will love your Keurig for years to come and not have to spend
the investment so you've run it through and then you should be good to go if
you're not try it again clean everything out make sure everything is good unplug
it plug it back in descale it another thing that you want to do after you do
scale it is you want to buy these filters and I buy them on Amazon I'll
leave the Keurig Cuisinart one that I have because I love this thing as a
72-ounce chamber see my other Cuisinart Keurig video about all the reasons why i
love this but a 72oz chamber i'll put the link down below from amazon i
will put the link to these filters as well you get 12 of them less than
ten bucks that's cheap I don't use these that often like I said the only time I
clean this thing is when I have to when it tells me it's begging for mercy so
you buy these little filters and what you do after you clean it all out and
you're all good to go open where your chamber is and you should have this
black plastic thing this is the water felt to hold on okay can you see that
you just there's a little clasp you open the clasp and look at there's the filter
right there so all the knives will change it while I'm doing this you take
this filter and you can see it where it goes easy peasy
close it up make sure it's closed and then insert this back again make sure
this thing is classed down so you can see it it's not hard to insert back in
make sure when you put the since clasp down because that could be another issue
okay so let's just run through the steps one more time so if I don't mess them up
so one you care it's broken you think it's broken
I'm plugging just leave it sit for a minute of to plug it back in try it out
still not working run it to try to run it with just hot
water and rinse step three still not working
um no kcup in this remember no k-cup and the last step either still not working
clean everything out and get the K-cup out of there get the paper clips stick
it in the little silver sharp tab clean out that k cup holder that's in there
rinse it all out with a wet rag just clean out all the little debris in
grinds try to run it still not working descale it fill this had vinegar half
water and just run this bad boy keep running it which means brew it if you
don't get my Rhode Island talk keep brewing just regular cups of
water without any K-cup in there when the vinegar and water mixture is done
fill it back up with water and keep running it through because you don't
want vinegar coffee I had it before it's gross okay and then replace the filter
make sure it's locked down properly this should always be locked down in place
and you should be good to go like I said I've had my from 2010 the Cuisinart SS
10 it's phenomenal so I hope you enjoyed this video I hope it was helpful you
