K-Cups are notorious for leaving a sticky residue on the Keurig needle that can be difficult to remove. This problem is made worse by coffee grounds and other debris that accumulates over time, making it even harder to clean the needle. To clean the Keurig needle, pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol into the garbage disposal and turn it on. Reach down into the drain with your hand and start scrubbing around the circumference of the needle. Make sure to hold onto the handle while rinsing it to make sure all of the liquid is removed; otherwise, you may end up pouring more soap down into your garbage disposal than necessary!
2. Drop the keurig needle in the alcohol and let it soak for a few minutes
Keurig needles can clog up with ink from coffee if not cleaned on a regular basis. Ink accumulates over time, and when the needle becomes blocked, it’s difficult to remove. In order for the keurig to function at its best, it is important to clean the needle on a regular basis. There are two main ways to do this: drop the keurig needle in alcohol and let it soak for a few minutes; or use an acid-free cleaner such as Dawn dishwashing detergent. Drop the keurig needle in the alcohol and let it soak for a few minutes. The longer the needle is soaked, the less likely it is that ink will be created. This method also helps prevent damage to your appliance due to sharp edges on debris inside of your machine.
3. Remove the keurig needle and rinse it with warm water
The keurig needle is a plastic component that can become clogged with coffee residue. This accumulation of material can cause the brewing process to suffer, and so it needs to be cleaned regularly. The keurig needle should first be removed by inserting a small screwdriver into the hole on one side of the needle. Once it’s been dislodged, wash it in warm water using soap and scrubbing motions to loosen any built up residue. Finally, rinse it with clean water before replacing it back onto the machine
