Would CLR clean a Kurig coffee maker?

Don't do it, you will never get the taste out. It will ruin your machine despite what the directions say.

I have never used CLR in a Kurig coffee maker but I use it in my regular coffee maker all the time. I run three pots of clear water through it after the CLR and have never had a problem.

A safer way to clean coffee makers is to run a cycle of white vinegar through them instead of water to dissolve the deposits and then to run a few cycles of water to clear the vinegar out. Vinegar is a descaler, just more mild and won't hurt you.

I would not put CLR in anything you eat or drink from. If you haven't solved it already, try running vinegar through it a few times.

I have the machine, and only use tap water. I imagine that I will have to run vinegar thru it occasionally as in other coffee makers to remove water residue. However, I am not going to buy water for my coffee machine. Too much trouble. I do, however, love the machine and having a fresh hot cup of brewed coffee each time.

All I know is our coffee started to come out slower and I tried to clean it and it helped a little, did you check in your manual ? Or go to the Hamilton Beach website and see if they have parts info. Our machine started to leak so we had to toss it out this was the third we had. We bought a Keurig and absolutely love it...

My Vue 600 was clogged once by this. If you do not insert the K cup with the proper adapter so that it sits flush and that the bottom needle punctures the bottom of the k cup you will have issues.Once my brewer was clogged i simply used a paperclip to unclog it. I've brewed approximately 300 k cups in this machine in 6 months with no issue beyond that.

Use any cleaner with bleach and coffee stains disappear in minutes then wash the cleaner off with dish soap. If you have hard water use CLR to clean the water stains off. It is best to immediately wipe glassware dry after washing and do not allow it to air dry.

Wipe the inside with a cleaner. Turn roaster and it cleans itself. Take side cover off and vacuum the dust and coffee particles.

There will always be a small amount of residue unless you remove the Burr and clean it out completely. I don't think this is really necessary unless you have world class professional coffee tasting taste buds. ;P

Idk. I have a keriug and I use and reusable k cup. I thought this was a good product to put in to filter it better. These filters are way too small and if you open it they will not refund it.

Depends. I use water from the fridge that is already filtered and don't use the coffee machine filter

If it really bothers you, do this 1. disposable 25 cent gloves 2. Urnex or similar coffee machine cleaner. Their basic multipurpose blue liquid is best for home use 3. Sponge with very hot water + one squirt of Urnex. 30 seconds and you're done. Coffee cleaner is a detergent particularly formulated to dissolve coffee crud. In a minute it cleans out more embedded coffee than an hour of soaking. That is much better than attacking your stuff with bleach, abrasive cleaners or the dishwasher, any of which can damage fancy things.

I've cleaned dried coffee and fruit juice on my counter with no ill effects so far. I just use dish soap on a sponge to clean surfaces. I have no experience with the Rustoleum Transformation product.

I would take everything apart in the brewer and the carafe and clean as thoroughly as possible. Pay extra special attention to the carafe lid - make sure the gasket is still fitting snugly and that there are no grounds trapped in the vacuum area.

This I do not know. Ours is flashing "clean," but we have yet to clean it. Still working and coffee tasting fine, so I haven't attempted a cleaning.

You must not have saved the box. Let me write what it says. Perhaps the website would tell you this. This product may be washed in a dishwaster. Please follow the instructions of dishwasher properly. Due to deposits of oil from the coffee, the dripper may become clogged with extended use. In such case, soak the dripper in hot water. Then use a sponge and mild detergent adn gently wash the dripper. Please be careful not to tear the mesh filter. The durability of the dripper may decrease if soaked in household bleach for long periods of time. It should be soaked for short periods of time only. (end of instructions). I've had mine for two months and rinse it and give it a gentle scrub with a scrubbie pad after each use, and with soap at night. It might have the beginnings of a slight dark shade in some areas of the screening. I haven't tried the bleach yet and don't plan to. I give benefits of doubt to the manufacturer; I saved the box and have referred to it often, and find my confidence in the dripper has not sagged: it is a very efficient extractor of coffee essences from a given measure of coffee grounds seemingly designed to last for, let me say, a while. So if your concern is about discoloration or even just your imagining that the pores in the mesh must fill up eventually with coffee residue, join me, the compulsive worrier, in not worrying about it until it shows up.

I really don't know. My Kurig is a model K60. It really worked just fine. I really think the inserts are all the same. Mine does not pull out with the pod.

Try running a paper clip through the hollow needle that punctures the top of the K-cup. Mine clogs about once a week.
