What is what to do when my keurig says descale?

Okay, here's what to do when your Keurig says "DESCALE" in markdown format:

When your Keurig displays the "DESCALE" light, it's time to clean mineral buildup from inside the machine. This buildup can affect the taste of your coffee and the performance of your Keurig. Here's a general guide:

1. Prepare for Descaling: Empty the water reservoir and remove the water filter, if applicable.

2. Use Descaling Solution: You can use the official Keurig Descaling Solution or a DIY solution of equal parts white vinegar and water.

3. Pour in Solution: Pour the descaling solution into the empty water reservoir. If using vinegar and water, fill the reservoir completely with the mixture.

4. Enter Descaling Mode: Refer to your Keurig's user manual for specific instructions on entering descaling mode. This usually involves holding down certain buttons for a few seconds.

5. Brew Large Cups: Once in descaling mode, begin brewing large cups of water until the reservoir is empty. Discard the liquid.

6. Rinse Thoroughly: Refill the reservoir with fresh, clean water. Repeat the brewing process (without descaling solution) several times to rinse the machine completely. Brew at least 12 cups. This step is crucial to remove any residual descaling solution or vinegar taste.

7. Exit Descaling Mode: Some Keurig models require you to manually exit descaling mode. Again, consult your user manual.

8. Replace Water Filter: If you removed a water filter, replace it with a new one.
