This morning my beloved Keurig decided it didn't want to make coffee anymore. Wouldn't pump water most of the time, and when it did pump it backed hot water up into the reservoir. This happened to me before and the Keurig people sent me a new brewer.

Not wanting to live without my Keurig for that long again, I did a google search. One forum said to "burp" it: remove the water reservoir and any K-cups in the holder, tip it upside down and give it a slap on the bottom.

It worked.

My Keurig is back to normal, churning out joe like it always has. So there's your tip for the day.

Seems to be doing better. Actually have the Drs doing some testing and trying different things other than "I'm sure this will be her last attack as she's outgrown them!"

Thanks for the Keuring tip. We've never had it not pump before, but will keep this in mind.

I will occasionally run a resevoir of water through it without making any coffee in the process. We also only use filtered (Brita pitcher) water in it.

I hear that it helps to run a vinegar/water mix through it to cut down on the scaling, but I've never done it and the coffee doesnt taste odd.

Don't forget to descale as well

I have gotten everyone at work hooked on the Keurig. Now that I had one out of comission for a week (have the replacement now) everyone really appreciates it.

My favorite is German Chocolate Cake with caramel creamer. :coffee:

Call the 800 number for the company when you're close to your machine and they'll run you through some troubleshooting. Have a paperclip or a needle or large safety pin handy when you call. Mine started out like yours and finally sputtered to a stop and their customer service was amazing. You'll have to read them your serial number that's found on the front on the bottom, so have some light handy, too.

Luckily, mine was still under warranty and they sent me a new one (better model at that) in less than a week - I just had to send the KCup recepticle thingamabob back.

One of the first questions they asked me was did I use it to make hot chocolate - apparently that's notorious for gumming up the works.

That sounds really good. Is there a place locally that sells a variety of the flavored K-Cups? I like Kona and Donut Shop usually, but want to try something else. If not I can order a bunch online to try.

That's a good question. I always buy mine at Giant and that's usually what they have Kona and Donut Shop which are good but I'd like to experiment without paying a shipping charge. Looked in Kohls and Belk and they pretty much have the same as Giant.

Yep. I can find French Vanilla and Hazelnut pretty easily, but they aren't fancy. I do like Gloria Jean's Hazelnut.

Whenever that happens I hit brew and then play the drums on top until it finally sputters through the right spout. I've learned to do a test run first so as to not ruin a perfectly good k-cup.

Might be easier to tip it upside down though.. thanks for the tip!

Same here, we have the Plumbed B105 at work and the coffee service we use gives us about 200 k-cup choices.

Keurig was free as long as we buy our coffee from them, we just had to install it ourselves as we were outside their service area. Keurig, plumbing kit and inline water filter were all free.
