Are you certain you are using Distilled Water? Distilled Water does not taste like ordinary tap or filtered or spring water. What gives water it’s taste, is the mineral content! All water which comes from a municipal, bottled or spring water source has minerals within. While you can drink distilled water, it is not very pleasing to the palette. Why would anyone go to the expense, and trouble of either buying or distilling water? Distilled Water requires that water be boiled into a vapor (steam), and them allowed to condense (cool) back into liquid water.

The resulting condensed water is literally pure H2O! The mineral content is left behind in the vessel which contained the water which was boiled. This requires an apparatus, which the average person would not set up in one’s home or place of business. It is dangerous and awkward to do this. Distilled water is appropriately used in steam irons, to extend the life of the iron.

A cup of coffee would taste awful if made with distilled water. But it’s your cup of joe, so drink up and enjoy! Mine had been sitting for a few months. Evaphone Hack. After cleaning & burping, turning over and jiggling the whole machine got the blue “ready” lights working correctly. Using the straw trick got the water flowing. I had to do it a few times, and blew into the reservoir, and then by the exit needle. However, after one brew-through on water only, the “Prime” light came on.

HINT: Even if you have just cleaned the reservoir & K-Cup housing, you need to “trick” the machine into thinking you did it after getting the “Prime” message (mine is LED display) by removing both the reservoir & the K-Cup housing & then replacing. You’re a bloody genius!!!!! I took a straw and stuck it over the needle and blew a few times really hard. Tried to run it, it would for a second then clog right back up. Then I took another person’s suggestion to also give it a few pulls too with the straw. Yuck coffee grounds and calcium buildup taste aweful!

But it did the trick and now it’s working like new. Did a few cleaning cycles just to make sure it was all out. At least now I know why my French Vanilla’s haven’t been tasting right for the past few weeks. Still spitting out little pieces of coffee grounds btw 😛.

My kuerig 45 was given to me for xmas, and every time I descale this unit, I have problems getting it to start brewing. I used the straw method and just about gave up, I blew into the over flow hose on the left upper side of the unit, and then put the straw back into the water intake area, and it worked, and finally the descaling light went out.

Must have been really plugged with scale. I am now using bought water, and seriously thinking about using distilled water, just to save me this frustration of cleaning it every month. I love my machine, and it is working like new again.

I recently read 'Go Paperless: Get Rid of the Paper Clutter Forever', this was a great book that left me inspired. In an effort to control my clutter and not let it control me, I have been on a massive 'throw it out' frenzy. Goodwill, family and the recycling center have been inundated with my belongings. Leaving me to breath a little easier with organized cupboards and drawers. Yesterdays project was the kitchen. Can you believe I had an entire drawer (and not a small one) dedicated to nothing but owners manuals? From the washer and drier to the juicer, yogurt maker and everything in between.

I may have referenced these once or twice but, certainly not enough to justify tying up valuable kitchen real estate so, in the recycling bin they went. This led me to the idea of gathering the owners manuals of all models of Keurig brewers and housing them right here, for you. Below you will find links to the owners manual of each model of Keurig brewer. Joe Pace Speak Life Free Mp3 Download. The model number of your brewer can general be found on the bottom of the unit. You will see that my list references all model numbers starting with K, if yours starts with a B.don't panic. Keurig recently decided to move from the B naming system to a K naming system but, kept all of the corresponding numbers the same.

If you have a B40 for example, it is now called a K40. (formerly B145) You now have my permission to toss your Keurig owners manual in the trash! Reference this post whenever you have a question or save the PDF on your computer and you can be one step closer to a clutter free kitchen or office! Additional resources: • • •.
