Why won’t my Keurig brew with the K cup in place?

The grounds can get clogged in the tiny exit needle and cause the brewer to give a short cup or no coffee. To remedy this, the user can remove the K-Cup holder from the brewer and thoroughly rinse with warm water from both the top and bottom sides. This should normally cure the problem. Check the Water Reservoir and Line The first thing to check is your water reservoir. Make sure it’s filled to the max line and that there are no air bubbles in the water line. If the water reservoir is low, or there’s air in the line, your Keurig won’t be able to brew a full cup of coffee.This can result from the reservoir being out of alignment, dirty, or debris clogging the K-Cup needle. Busted water pump or motor Unfortunately, our most used appliances and electronics sometimes wear out over time, and you can do nothing but replace them.If your K-Cup Mini stops mid-brew, check for clogged needles that puncture the pod, which can block water flow. Clean the entrance and exit needles with a paperclip or needle cleaner. Descale the machine regularly using a vinegar solution to remove mineral buildup affecting the pump.

Why does my K cup not fit in my Keurig?

There are 2 possible problems. The first is you did not punch a hole in the bottom of the K cup when you inserted the K cup or it is clogged as previously mentioned. Most people just close the lid but if the plastic is too strong the needle may not make a hole. Press the cup down before you close the lid may help. If it does not fit correctly in a compatible brewer, please refer to the instructions and make sure that your My K-Cup® Filter is aligned with the exit needle in your brewer and seated flush in the pod holder.

Why is my Keurig not puncturing the bottom of the pod?

Inspect the needle that punctures the pod for clogs or dullness. Clean the entrance and exit needles with a paperclip or cleaning tool regularly. Ensure pods are seated correctly to allow uniform puncturing. Using compatible pods like Gelvia may require checking pod quality. A: Try forcing the lever that opens and closes the pods all the way back so it’s 90 degrees with the machine. This will help realign the mechanics and should help with puncturing the pods.The pod holder needle replacement replaces your current pod holder needle, so the pods that you pop in the machine pop again. Perfect replacement when the pod holder needle breaks. Remove the side sticker and insert the full assembly (the included parts 1, 2, and 3) into the Brewing Chamber. Enjoy.
