Just like every other kitchen appliance, a K-Cup coffee maker gets dirty. Water, coffee, fingerprints, cream, sugar, and dust all slowly build up on the machine, and if you want to keep producing great coffee you will need to clean off all the filth.

Cleaning the machine isn’t as straightforward as you might first think. This machine has a lot of hidden places that need attention. Learn how to clean your keurig coffee maker so you don’t miss any of the crud.

If you own a Keurig K-Cup machine, you probably love the coffee it makes, but have you noticed that sometimes the flow of the water through the machine gets slow or seems clogged?

This happens because solids dissolved in your tap water accumulate inside the machine over time. These solids need to be cleaned, or descaled. This is an easy process if you know what you are doing. Learn how to descale your keurig coffee maker.

Cold Steeped Iced Coffee Concentrate
Pour 1/4 pound coarse ground coffee beans into a lidded pot or jar.
Add 2.5 cups of water, room temperature, filtered if your local tap water isn’t free of impurities or is high in minerals that give the water a noticeable taste.
Cover and let soak 8-10 hours in a cool, dark place.
Break the coffee crust gently with a spoon. Strain through cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve into bottle or jar. Will keep approximately 5 days in fridge.
Serve in 1:1 proportion with milk of your choice, I prefer almond milk, and sweetener to taste.

I’m on my second bottle of concentrate this week and I’ve been sweetening mine with whiskey syrup. I would recommend simple syrup over honey or agave as the latter two are hard to dissolve in cold drinks.
