This happens when the pressure of the k-cup blows coffee grounds up the puncture needle and plugs it up. Straighten a small paperclip and open the needle (if it is totally blocked). Then, run some water through it with no kcup to wash the loose grounds out.
Can you replace the needle in a Keurig?
You can purchase and replace the needles in a Keurig. The bottom needle replacement is easier to find than a puncture needle replacement, however. To replace them, you need the entire part that houses the needle and not just the needle.
How do I clean a clogged Keurig?
Pour Keurig descaling solution or white vinegar into the water reservoir, filling it halfway. Then fill the rest of the way with water and push the brew button. Discard the cleaning solution.
Why is my Keurig not poking hole in bottom?
If you are using ribbed k-cups (Gevalia, for example) the pin may not puncture the bottom. The pin may simply push up on the bottom as the side of the cup simply expands. If this is the case, switch to a different cup style.
Do keurig have lifetime warranty?
Only the use of Keurig Brewed. K-Cup® brand packs and accessories will guarantee the proper functioning and lifetime of your Keurig° brewer.
Why does my Keurig keep stopping?
Many times a Keurig will shut off while brewing because the K-Cup hasn’t been punctured on the bottom by the needle in the K-Cup basket. It can also shut off as a result of a clogged brew needle, faulty outlet, or misaligned water reservoir magnet.
