How to Clean and Descale a Keurig Coffee Maker

Cleaned my Keurig since it was only brewing 1/2 cups and the pump was making terrible noises.

To clean, also known as the descaling process, (from the Keurig manual): 

1. Take all removeable parts off and wash, stick a pin or paper clip up into the exit needles to dislodge any clumps, be careful they are sharp, replace parts. 
2. Fill reservoir with white vinegar and brew until the add water light comes on. Leave power on and let the Keurig sit for 4 hours.
3. Discard any remaining vinegar and rinse. 
4. Fill with fresh water and brew until vinegar is dissipated, (took me at least 10 cups). 

 Note: I had to unplug my Keurig and plug it back in because it was stuck on one blue light. Brewed about 10 cups of plain water to clear the vinegar out, but it worked! Yay! And my Keurig is running smoothly again.  Ah, fresh coffee  :)

New Blog Layout

Someone asked me to change the background on my blog because the recipe's were hard to read. I was thrilled that she took the time to let me know, and that she comes back to my  recipe blog time after time, year after year.

I also took off the affiliate links since they were no longer generating revenue.  Please support my blog by shopping my Etsy store or clicking on the Google ads. 

So, here you go, a new blog layout, please let me know what you think, and Happy New Year!  :)
