My Keurig coffee maker has been making WEAK coffee since brand new out of the box. Clogged needle my ass. NO video anywhere addresses this. 2 weeks old and I'm seriously considering throwing the damned thing away. We tried the k-cup you put your own coffee in. Seriously if anyone has a HACK to fix this, you have the mike.

Thanks that fixed mine. I was freaking out Bc this is the k-slim I bought for the camper and only used a few times. Last week my old trusty keurig I used heavily for 8 yrs died so I brought this in until I can get a new one. I couldn’t figure out why it would so suddenly break whew! Thanks a million. Need my coffee. And this cup is so STRONG haha. Thanks a BILLION!

Fixed my issue! Just "poking around" with a toothpick did the trick. Thank you so much

Another technique to help stop the over leakage is to snap the k-cup on the bottom (exit) needle BEFORE closing the lid and having the upper needle puncture the foil - this leaves a cleaner, tighter hole in the foil... Take notice in this video how the foil on top of the k-cup is ripped from the closing action on an angle.

Omg you saved my kuerig k cafe literally i was so sad i won it as a gift at work and thought literally for a minute it was broken and its working now thanks to you!!!!! :)

Good info, but how you managed to shoot the video in the middle of an earthquake is amazing.

Thank you! I was about to throw this thing out but thankfully I came across your video.

YES! This worked. Thank you so much I thought my machine was a goner.

Any body else have a problem with having a ton of different flavors but they all come out to be bitter tasting and black?

This worked for me too, thank you! 👏

This is great. I have also found a product called Kup-Lift to stop that annoying splashing.

I made a cup of Peet's first thing this morning with my mini, and it was fine. Went to brew a second Peet's a few hours later, and it was barely brown water. Tried a pod from a different brand at 8 oz instead of 10, same thing. So I cleaned everything out above and below, but I did not observe any clogs (I used a paper clip). I'm going to try the toothpick to see if more gunk will stick to it, thereby cleaning it out a little better. The machine is only a month old, and I've been using bottled water to reduce scale from my hard water (no descale light on). I will be really distressed if it's failing already.

No one had used my Mom's keurig coffee maker in years and no water was coming out in spite of you could hear it working. I just put more water in it and tried again with no coffee and it got going. Vinegar descaling and clean water purges are needed now and then. Putting the cup in there straight so the needle goes in straight is helpful

Nope. Mine has been watery weak since day-one. Even on the strongest setting, it looks like weak tea. Needle is clear. I'm suspecting the water pressure is way too high. I dissected the cup afterward to find that not all grounds were even wet. The device seemed to be forcing water through the grounds so fast that it created "channels" though the grounds, creating a path to the bottom of the cup that did not steep with the coffee grounds.

I noticed I used cheap k cups and foil on top the seal busted leaking out of the broken seal and not going through grinds. This is another theory of this condition above and beyond and upper needle blockage

Think you solved my problem sir!

Ours is not clogged, and it is still producing watery coffee and pouring outside of the k cup at times. But, it is 5 years old. So, perhaps it's time for a new one.

Thanks! Fixed it

Thank you!!!

Thanks, this helped

My kuerig works fine without the pod, but once pod goes in it just doesn’t work the pod is punctured but grinds just comes on top of pod and no coffee!

Thank you good and informative vid

Cheap ass grocery brand pods may have more to do with it

Had two mine both are water kind and we cleaned it with water n vinager was t used in long time

My mini is brand new and the first few times i used it made it watery and I even did different amounts of water both times

Got a duo. Had it for a month maybe two and it has made weak coffee since we got it. Using reusable k cup and have to use 2 full cups on 6oz to get a weak cup of coffee

My problem is that my Keurig K-Duo is dispensing/pumping too much water but only sometimes.

New one is 5 needle for more flavor by far. As far as cleaning that id hope people could think of that on there own its a no brainer. Paper clip works better.

This is a Keurig K Mini (possibly PLUS) brewer

I use a toothbrush (new) to scrub all the needles, removing the excess grinds & gook, plus removed & washed the bottom pod holder. I brew 6 oz on my new K supreme. That help a little. Next time I'll try a darker roast for better flavor or just use my regular coffee maker. Keurig need to make some more improvements

I’m glad it’s just not me. I’m pitching mine ..,

Hi. I bought a K cup slim one month ago, now the add water light keeps on (I have to unplug it and plug it to solve this issue) have you faced that issue? And how to solve it when you faced it? Thanks.

I came here thinking my keruig was clogged I did what you did in your video with the toothpick before I even came here... Turns out it's the k cups I got that were tasting watery I bought a new pack and they taste much less watery. So must of been a producing error when making the kcups in the factory.

How to sound critical but if there's not enough water coming out because the upper needle is plugged with coffee grounds then your coffee cannot be "watery".

Thank you!

The major reason I've seen for watery coffee out of keurigs I've seen so far is people brew 8 oz. to 12 oz. Of coffee from a k cup. Most k cups only have enough coffee grinds to make a strong or non watery coffee at 6 oz. Beyond that point, you are essentially watering down your coffee. I usually brew a 12 oz. cup using 2 k cups at the 6 oz. setting.

My keurig is only 1 year old and the needle was totally clean :((

My Keurig came with a water bulb to clean that .

K150 model DO NOT BUY i owned about 3 and all of them broke right after about 1.5 years. For commercial model using 2 cups a day for this long is not commercial. NOW it brews fine and sometimes not at all frustrated when you spend 300 for a machine that should for years not 1.5 years and die. DONE WITH KEURIG. Got myself a breville espresso yea takes a bit time but hey way better coffee.

I wonder if this could have been a 1 minute video on how to clean your Keurig needle?

Mine isn’t watery or weak but the taste comes out so bitter it’s like poison flavored coffee😂. Maybe descaling will help? 🤔

most don't even go down to 6 oz

Was you wife walking on a tread mill in the background?

use a paper clip works better

The cheap Amazon kcups are watery. But don't be fooled I think they add caffeine to them.. which is deceptive and gross if you think about it, using little amounts of coffee to be cheap but spiking it so it seems authentic and the customer is happy. Like a cocktail of garbage that gets you buzzed and they call it coffee.

You just shoved it even higher up into the system 🤦‍♂️ def not smart to use a toothpick

wouldnt less water make it stronger and not watery? lol

Use a tripod. Shakey video is very annoying.
