A Keurig coffee maker is a great investment for any coffee lover. Between the convenience of the single-serve cups and the wide variety of flavors and brands to choose from, a Keurig is a great way to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee every morning.
With regular use, however, the needles in the Keurig can become clogged with coffee grounds and other debris. This can affect the taste of your coffee and also lead to problems with the machine. It’s important to perform regular needle maintenance on your Keurig to keep it in good working order.
Here’s how to do it:
First, unplug the Keurig and let it cool down for a few minutes. Remove the water reservoir and set it aside.
Next, locate the needle assembly. This is the part of the machine that pierces the coffee pod. It’s located just below the water reservoir.
Carefully remove the needle assembly by unscrewing the black cap at the base. Be very careful not to drop the assembly, as the needles are very sharp.
Once the assembly is removed, you’ll see the needles sticking up out of the black base. Use a sharp object such as a paper clip or a toothpick to clean out the coffee grounds and other debris that has accumulated around the needles.
Be sure to clean out the needles every time you remove the needle assembly. If coffee grounds and debris are allowed to build up, it can cause the needles to become clogged and the machine to malfunction.
Replace the needle assembly and screw the black cap back in place. Replace the water reservoir and plug the Keurig back in.
Your Keurig is now ready to use. Enjoy a fresh cup of coffee!

Why does my Keurig say needle?
If your Keurig says needle, it means that the needle inside the machine is blocked. This is usually due to a build-up of calcium deposits, and it can be prevented by descaling your Keurig every 3-6 months, depending on how often you use it.
If your Keurig says needle, there are a few things you can do:
– try descaling your Keurig (see our descaling guide for more information)
– remove the blockage with a needle
– replace the needle

How do I use the brewer maintenance accessory?
Brewer Maintenance Accessory
The brewer maintenance accessory is a small, cylindrical tool that is used to clean and descale the inside of a coffee brewer. It can be used with any type of brewer, including automatic and manual brewers.
To use the brewer maintenance accessory, first make sure that the brewer is empty and unplugged. Next, fill the accessory with vinegar or descaling solution. Then, insert the accessory into the brewer and turn it clockwise until it is firmly in place. Finally, allow the vinegar or descaling solution to circulate through the brewer for the recommended amount of time.
After the Brewer Maintenance Accessory has been used, it is important to clean it thoroughly. This can be done by filling it with hot water and dish soap, and then swirling it around until all of the vinegar or descaling solution is removed. Finally, rinse the accessory with hot water and allow it to dry.
Can you replace the needle in a Keurig?
Replacing the needle in a Keurig coffee maker is a simple process that can be completed in a few minutes. The needle becomes worn over time and needs to be replaced in order to continue brewing perfect coffee.
To replace the needle, first remove the water reservoir by pressing the release button on the back of the machine and pulling it out. Next, remove the cover on the top of the machine by unscrewing it. Be careful not to lose the screws, as they are small and easily misplaced.
Once the cover is off, locate the needle on the left hand side of the machine. It is a small, silver piece that is held in place by a black screw. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screw and remove the needle.
The new needle should come with the replacement kit. If not, it can be purchased from Keurig.com or other online retailers. Simply line up the new needle with the old one and replace the screw. Replace the cover and water reservoir and your Keurig is good as new.
Why isn’t my Keurig poking a hole in the bottom?
Most Keurig brewers have a removable water reservoir that you can fill with fresh water before each brew. This reservoir sits on top of the brewer and has a small hole in the bottom that the brew head pokes through to brew your coffee.
If your Keurig isn’t poking a hole in the bottom of the water reservoir, there are a few possible reasons why. The most common reason is that the reservoir is not seated properly on the brewer. Make sure the reservoir is seated all the way down on the brewer and is properly locked into place.
Another common reason is that the water reservoir is not full enough. Make sure the water reservoir is filled to the MAX FILL line.
If neither of these solutions solve the problem, your water reservoir may be clogged. To clean the reservoir, remove it from the brewer and soak it in a mixture of vinegar and water for a few hours.
