Any coffee maker can be a cesspool of bacteria and gunk if you don’t take the time to clean it every once in awhile. I was watching a popular television reality show, and the people were looking at the soda lines, which hadn’t been cleaned properly in quite some time. You know, that little filter part that pulls off, and then you have the spout?
It was literally disgusting, and so I went to go check out my Keurig, which has a similar spout where it dispenses the coffee. I had to stoop down pretty low to get to it, and what I saw just about made me puke. I grabbed a napkin right away, and I ran it underneath there, and it looked like all kinds of brown gunk that could easily make someone sick.
What’s worse is I continuously cleaned the outside of my machine, but I had forgotten to clean the spout in awhile. That’s just the spout, but what about the internal brewing system and lines? Can you imagine what they would look like without properly descaling with vinegar? That’s right, vinegar is the right solution for descaling a coffee maker and cleaning it out.
Some people are a little nervous about this because they don’t want to change what their coffee tastes like by using the vinegar. In other words, how do you go about doing it properly? Furthermore, what is that buildup, and why do they call it descaling? Descaling Keurig 2.0 with vinegar is necessary due to the calcium carbonate buildup, among other things.
Have you relied day in and day out on your Keurig brewing machine without cleaning it internally? You could be drinking some nasty coffee if not. Where I live, the moisture and salt water from the ocean is constantly passing through my balcony door, which means I have to really focus on keeping everything a lot cleaner than I would have to inland. It has definitely been a learning opportunity, right down to the realization that my Keurig was a dirty cesspool. And to think I was enjoying my favorite brands of coffee for awhile with a dirty machine.
Now I of course plan to keep my Keurig clean. I don’t have the Keurig 2.0 model, but you can clean all of them out with vinegar very easy. It’s also suggested to run hot water through your Keurig afterwards at least once, maybe two or three times if you’re concerned, to get all the vinegar out and to make sure all the buildup is gone as well.
Once you learn how to use distilled white vinegar to descale your Keurig, it will be easy to do it again and again when necessary. Descaling Keurig 2.0 with vinegar solution is the absolute best way, so don’t try using anything else. It works, it’s natural, and it will keep your coffee fresh and tasty, without the bacteria, calcium carbonate and everything else you do not want in your coffee.
