why does it keep asking me to descale I get the descale message, I descale per the book, 1 week later the descale message comes back on. I make 5-6 cups of coffee a day.

To me that sounds like there is a glitch. Do you shut down the machine when not in use?

When I got this message I finally changed out the filter and that fixed the issue. They have a big pack of filters on Amazon pretty cheap so I change ours out every 30-days. We make about 8-10 cups of coffee a day and use the hot water feature for cocoa, soups and tea. Hope this helps!

I change mine every 90 days or so. I can usually tell when it is time by the taste of the coffee. We drink a lot of coffee.

We use the default option with no complaints. Perhaps it's the coffee you're using? Or try brewing a larger size cup for a more dilute brew.

That is too long. For half a pot of coffee it only takes me about 4 to 5 minutes. Maybe it needs to be cleaned? I try to clean mine every couple of weeks with white vinegar and water. I have 6 coffee drinkers in my household and we probably make 2 to 3 pots a day. So I do like to clean it often. Also I use a permanent filter and clean it more often.

I normally do one a ta time, as I like it strong. That will also depend on the coffe you use and the dosing setting you have chosen to use...

Might depend on how you perform the pour over. I have noticed if you do not pour for like a minute, the device will turn off. I usually make (2) 12 oz cups of coffee from my Chemex (44g coffee, 750-800g water). I have forgotten to turn on the device while pouring, but I have figured that as long as I measured the right amount of water in the kettle that I can pour all the water out without affecting the flavor. Also, I pour just a little bit up front to let the coffee bloom for like 30 seconds but then proceed pouring a steady stream which helps keep the scale active. Sorry for the essay but I hope this helps. Might depend on how you perform the pour over. I have noticed if you do not pour for like a minute, the device will turn off.

I don't think I can help you. Different makes of coffee makers produce slightly different coffee - sometimes you have to adjust the amount of coffee. Are you switching from another brand? Making less than four cups?

Go big or go home, you can always use less water and coffee. I had the 6 cup and I had to brew 3 of them in order to receive my daily caffeine fix. The coffee was outstanding but waiting for it to brew was about a 15-20 minute wait.

I routinely make 5 cups for myself in the morning; my wife makes 4 for me in the evening. The coffee maker works just fine; no complaints.David

i haven't done it to coffee, but i do it all the time to plain water. Coffee is very acidic not sure how many drops it would take to make it alkaline. In my opinion if you only take 1 cup of coffee just don't alkine it, i drink coffee perhaps 2-3 times a week and i don't do the drops, but the water i drink all the day long does get the 1 drop per glass. I hope this helps

used to be one year but i believe they have gone to 5 now..I use mine every day for 3 years and have had zero issues. Besides using filtered water I run dezcal through it regularly as well. Like any expensive piece of equipment one should take the time to take care of it. It couldnt be easier to use and maintain and it makes excellent coffee.

I do not really have that problem. Once every two weeks I run the water through, I add more water if it does not make a full pot.(this replaces the water that evaporates from the heating)..... I have had the coffee maker for a long time and have done this per their recommendations since I bought it. As it heats up the water all the time there is evaporation.

I believe you can put the descaling disc in the machine and when you run it it dispenses hot water. You may want to check their website to verify that. Holding down the brew button makes it Descale but pushing it once normally should just fill the cup with hot water.

I believe I read about every 2 months, depending on how many pots of coffee you make a day. We make one pot a day.

I had the same problem. I was told that I needed to descale the keurig which I did. It did improve it slightly but i happened to have purchased my keurig from Costco and they just exchanged it for a new one no questions asked.
