Keurig K-Express Descaling


Descaling your Keurig K-Express is an important part of its maintenance routine. Descaling regularly helps ensure that your drinks will taste just as good as when it was first brewed, and also helps to keep your Keurig K-Express in the best condition possible.

Descaling your Keurig K-Express is relatively simple and only takes a few steps:


  1. Begin by power cycling your machine, which simply means unplugging your Keurig, waiting one minute, and then plugging it back in. This can sometimes reset the descale light by itself.
  2. If the descale light is still illuminated, open your Keurig K-Express and discard any remaining K-Cups, Keurig pods, or grounds left in the brewer. Then, fill the water reservoir with half plain white vinegar and half water.
  3. Place a collecting container on the drip tray and start the descale cycle. You will know it’s in the descale cycle when the descale indicator light is lit on the display.
  4. Allow the descale cycle to run through. When it is finished, remove the collecting container and discard the vinegar solution.
  5. Refill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water and run two full brew cycles to remove any that vinegar residue. This will help remove the vinegar taste from your drink.
  6. At this point, the descale indicator light should be off. Power cycle your machine one last time just to be sure and the light should stay off.
