Went to the Goodwill Store with my wife to drop off donations and then to look for gardening stuff. I saw this Keurig Duo inside the store for $12 only missing the carafe. Lo and behold the carafe from my Walmart coffeemaker from my camper fits perfectly. Couldn’t believe it. They also gave me 7 days to return it if it didn’t work. I downloaded the manual online and descaled it with white vinegar twice on each side. Rinsed it 5 times each side. Worked great and it brews perfectly!! Thank you! This is one happy 60 yr old Dad!

From one dad to another, thank you sir!

I really learned a lot from watching your videos.

I've followed your instructions, my machine is in descale mode but the machine struggles to circulate the water from the reservoir to my cup. Suggestions?!

Thank you very helpful

I have a Duo and empty the reservoir and refill with 1 part white vinegar 1 part water. I ran 8 oz cup and it acted 'normal' Then I did the 6 cup decanter side but it acted 'funny' - it put maybe 1 cup of solution into the pot and stopped pumping. Then after a minute or so of doing nothing the red warming light turned on even though there was barely a cup in the pot. Ran a 12 oz cup and it acted funny also and didn't fill the cup (it seemed to cycle several times trying to fill the cup). I powered off and did the 6 cups side again and it put even less in the pot this second time. I don't think 50-50 vinegar should be used. Several others in the comments in this video also mention this behaviour (not filling the cup/pot).

I'm definitely having problems. I did what you instructed and set the coffee pot to 8 cups. Its spittin out droplets

While trying to descale my keurig k-duo essentials coffee maker, it only "brews" 1/4" of water/vinegar solution on both the k cup side & pot side??? Help, please??!!

I could use some advice! I have the same model Keurig Duo as shown in this video. I've actually had it for several years now, and well, I've never descaled it! Just a few minutes ago, I went to make a full pot of coffee, when it stopped working altogether. Admittedly last night my wife was rearranging the kitchen and moved the Keurig to a different spot. So when I attempted to make coffee this morning after about 4-6 oz of coffee had filled the pot, it stopped. I thought at first there might be a bubble in the system caused by moving it around last night. I turned the machine off. Waited 3 minutes for it to "reset" and then tried again. You can hear it starting to heat up the water, but then there's an audible "click" and it shuts off the heating element. Could it be getting too hot because I hadn't descaled it, or do you think it's a bubble? Taking a cue from you, after letting it sit for a few hours and cool down, I'm gonna empty the water and then do a 50/50 water and vinegar solution. Then run JUST 8 oz through the K-cup side and then let it sit for at least a half hour. I figure if I hadn't descaled it since we bought it, it might take extra time to dissolve the built-up calcium. Your thoughts? Suggestions? FYI, until I heard you mention it in your video, I noticed lately after adding a shot of cream and some sugar, my coffee seemed to be luke warm, so I'd have to put in our microwave for a minute to heat it up more.

When the screen says descale and your run the cup side set to 12 ounces, how much liquid should dispense? As soon as I hit the K button, about 1ounce comes out and the machine shuts off.

Everytime I have descaled the Keurig Duo it has caused a blockage in the unit. There must be a design flaw as I have had to replace the unit twice now. Switching back to a regular pot now that the third has clogged

Started the descale process now my keurig is only dispensing an ounce or two on both the carafe and the k-cup side. Help!

Does anyone’s pot stop putting out water/vinegar when trying this? Mine spits out a bit of solution but will then turn the hot plate on and stop.

My keurig has an automatic shut off feature. How do you get it to stay on throughout the whole 30min-2hour process?

You can turn off the descale message by pressing the 8 and 10 buttons simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds
