Q&A for How to Clean a Keurig Mini

Clean your Keurig Mini with vinegar every 6 months. Simply fill the reservoir with white vinegar, then place a mug beneath the drip spout and run a 10oz brew cycle. Discard the contents of the mug and continue running the vinegar through the machine until the 'Add Water' light comes on. Then, let the brewer sit for 30 minutes with the power on. Rinse the reservoir thoroughly, then fill it with water and run at least 12 cups through the machine.

The harder your water, the more often you'll need to descale your Keurig. However, you can cut down on the cleaning time by using distilled or bottled water with low mineral content in the Keurig reservoir. That will lead to less scale build-up than tap water, and less cleaning maintenance. Also, avoid using toxic or synthetic chemicals to clean your Keurig so you don't accidentally consume them. Instead, use a microfiber cloth and an all-natural, plant-based cleanser such as Better Life.

It's fine to use distilled water in a Keurig. If you have hard tap water, this will cut down on the need to descale the reservoir.

Soft water can negatively affect the flavor of tea and coffee, no matter how you brew it (especially if you use regular salt to soften your water, rather than an alternative like potassium chloride).

No, the Keurig Mini does not have a water filter installed. While some models have the option to add a filter later on, unfortunately the Keurig Mini is too small for that addition.
