Question 1

how do you run a cleaning cycle on a keurig k-supreme? not descaling, just cleaning.

Accepted Answer

There are two key cleaning routines: a daily cleansing brew and regular part cleaning. Cleansing Brew: Lift and lower the handle without a K-Cup pod. The four cup-size buttons will blink. Press the brew button, then press a blinking button to start. Pour the hot water into the sink. Do this to flush the system. Part Cleaning: Regularly clean the water reservoir, drip tray, K-Cup pod holder, and funnel.Water Reservoir & Lid: Wipe inside with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Let air dry. Drip Tray: Slide it out, empty, and clean with a damp, soapy cloth. K-Cup Pod Holder & Funnel: Remove, wash with soapy water. Clean exit and entrance needles with a paper clip as needed. Always turn off and unplug the brewer before cleaning any parts. Never immerse the main brewer body in water.

Question 2

moved my keurig to a new apartment and now it won't brew, just flashes lights. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Moving a Keurig can sometimes cause it to flash lights and not brew. This is usually because the new location is at a high altitude or the machine got very cold during the move. Procedure: If your new apartment is above 5,000 feet in elevation, you need to enable High Altitude mode. You can do this by pressing and holding the brew button and the 8oz button together for 3 seconds. If the brewer was in a cold environment, like a moving truck or a cold car, let it sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours before trying to use it. Using it while it's very cold can damage the internal parts. Check that the water reservoir is clicked fully into place. After moving the brewer, the tank can sometimes be slightly misaligned. If it still won't brew after these steps, empty the water reservoir and run a cleansing brew cycle. If the problem continues, the next step is to contact Keurig Customer Service.

Question 3

can i use my old reusable k-cup filter in the keurig k-supreme?

Accepted Answer

No. Only use the newly designed Keurig My K-Cup Universal Reusable Coffee Filter. This brewer is not compatible with previous versions of the reusable filter or any other brand. Using an incorrect filter can damage the brewer. Damage from non-Keurig pods or accessories is not covered by the warranty. If you need a reusable filter, purchase the specific model designed for the K-Supreme.

Question 4

keurig supreme descale light is on, how do i turn it off?

Accepted Answer

Yeah, that light won't go away until you run the full descaling cycle. It's not a suggestion, it's a demand. Here's the drill. You'll need a large ceramic mug, fresh water, and Keurig Descaling Solution. Don't use a paper cup. Prepare: Pour the whole bottle of descaling solution into the empty water reservoir. Fill the empty bottle with water and pour that in too. Don't put a K-Cup pod in. Place your large mug on the drip tray. Descale: With the brewer plugged in but powered OFF, press and hold the 8oz and 12oz buttons together for 3 seconds. The buttons will flash. Press the brew button to start. Once it's done, pour the liquid into the sink. Repeat this step until the ADD WATER light comes on. Rinse: Empty and rinse the water reservoir. Refill it to the MAX line with fresh water. With the buttons flashing, press brew to start rinsing. Pour out the water. Repeat until the DESCALE notification turns off. That's it. Heads up: The whole thing takes about 20 minutes. If the brewer is really scaled up, it might sputter and blow air—just follow the rinse steps again after a 30-minute cool-down.

Question 5

how do you clean the inside needles on a keurig k-supreme? getting coffee grounds in my cup.

Accepted Answer

Grounds in your cup mean the exit needle or the entrance needles are clogged. It's a common fix you can do yourself. Here's how: Clean the exit needle: First, remove the K-Cup pod holder. Grasp the top and push up from the bottom until it releases. Detach the funnel. You'll see the exit needle on the inside bottom. Take a straightened paper clip and gently insert it into the needle to loosen any packed coffee grounds. Clean the entrance needles: Lift and hold the brewer handle up. On the underside of the lid, you'll see the entrance needles. Carefully insert your paper clip into each hole in those needles and wiggle it gently to clear any debris. After cleaning both, snap the funnel back onto the pod holder, align the holder using the two front ribs as a guide, and snap it into place. Run a cleansing brew twice without a K-Cup pod to flush everything out. Heads up: Those needles are sharp. Don't put your fingers in the pod holder.

Question 6

my keurig supreme is making a weird gurgling sound and barely any coffee comes out

Accepted Answer

This indicates a severe clog, most likely in the entrance needles or a heavily scaled internal line. Diagnostic steps: Clean the entrance needles. Lift the handle. Locate the needles on the underside of the lid. Carefully insert a straightened paper clip into all the holes to clear grounds. Lower the handle and run two cleansing brews without a pod. If the problem persists, the brewer is heavily scaled. You must descale. Note: For heavy scale, the brewer may dispense only foam or a small amount of liquid, followed by an air-blowing sound. If descaling doesn't resolve it: Turn off and unplug the brewer. Discard any descaling solution from the reservoir, rinse thoroughly, and refill with fresh water. Plug back in, power on, and repeat the fresh water rinse cycle from the descaling procedure.

Question 7

keurig k-supreme brewing only half a cup then stopping, what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

The exit needle is clogged with coffee grounds, or the brewer needs descaling. First, clear the exit needle: Remove the K-Cup pod holder assembly. Detach the funnel. Find the exit needle on the inside bottom of the pod holder. Insert a straightened paper clip into the needle to loosen grounds. If that doesn't fix it, descale the brewer. Mineral scale buildup is the other main cause. Run the full descaling procedure using Keurig Descaling Solution. Heads up: If you've descaled twice and it still brews partial cups, contact Keurig Customer Service.

Question 8

my keurig k-supreme just stopped working, no lights or anything. anyone know why?

Accepted Answer

Most likely a power issue. Check the outlet first. Plug the brewer directly into its own grounded outlet. Don't share a circuit with other appliances. Fix it: Press the power button to turn it on. It shuts off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. If nothing happens, unplug it and plug it into a different outlet by itself. If that didn't work, the internal circuit might be overloaded. Unplug the brewer, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in and press the power button. If it still has no power, the unit needs service. Contact Keurig Customer Service. Heads up: For any electrical repairs, this brewer is not user serviceable. Don't try to open it.
