Hello and thank you for your question. To descale your system, you can use the following steps: Step 1: First Vinegar Rinse • Fill the Cold Water Reservoir with 10 oz. of undiluted white vinegar. • Place the ceramic mug on the Drip Tray. • Lift the Handle, but do not add a K-Cup® pack. • After 5 seconds, lower the Handle. • Press the flashing blue BREW Button. It will flash red and then turn solid red. • Once the vinegar is dispensed, discard hot contents into sink. Step 2: Second Vinegar Rinse • Pour the remaining 10 oz. of vinegar into the Cold Water Reservoir. • Place the ceramic mug on the Drip Tray. • Lift the Handle, but do not add a K-Cup® pack. • After 5 seconds, lower the Handle. • Press the flashing blue BREW Button. It will then flash red. • When it turns solid red, power off as it starts to dispense. • Allow brewer to sit for 30 minutes. • Power on the brewer, lift and lower the Handle, then press BREW Button. • Once the vinegar is dispensed, discard hot contents into sink. Step 3: Fresh Water Rinse • Fill the Cold Water Reservoir with 10 oz. of fresh water. • Place the ceramic mug on the Drip Tray. • Lift the Handle, but do not add a K-Cup® pack. • Lower the Handle and continue the brewing process until the hot water is dispensed into the mug. Discard hot contents into sink. • Repeat this cleansing brew process three (3) more times to cleanse the brewer plumbing and to remove any residual vinegar taste. The brewer is now ready for normal use again. If you are still having problems with your brewer, we suggest that you contact our consumer care team at 866-901-2739. We hope this information is useful!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I run whit vinegar through it during two cycles and the two cycles of bottled water. You also need to check for loose coffee grounds in the brew line.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.See the manual here for descaling instructions. They are in Section 5. It's a 3 step process too long to list here. http://www.keurig.com/medias/K10-UCG-ENG.pdf?context=bWFzdGVyfGstY3VwLWJyZXdlcnMtdXNlci1ndWlkZXMtcGRmc3w0MDY4MDE0fGFwcGxpY2F0aW9uL3BkZnxrLWN1cC1icmV3ZXJzLXVzZXItZ3VpZGVzLXBkZnMvaDE2L2g3NS84OTU1ODk5NDQ1Mjc4LnBkZnxlYjc1MTYyN2I5ODZiNjA4ZTEzNzQxN2RjYWNlZGMxZDQ1YjM2Mjc1OGVjMGQzNDc0MjMxMmM5NTE1ZDU0NWQx
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Most people use vinegar to descale their coffee pots. Pour some in, let it stand for a bit then rinse. You could also consider using bottled water. It does not have the calcium that causes scaling to occur.
