When your Keurig won't pull water to brew it can be a result of a clogged water line, blocked filter, malfunctioning pump, low water level or limescale buildup.
In most cases limescale buildup is what prevents a Keurig from brewing and pulling water.
You can remove the limescale from the Keurig by running vinegar or a descaling solution through it.
If the water line is clogged on the Keurig you can clean it and unclog the Keurig water line by unplugging the Keurig and turning it off.
Then open the K Cup compartment and unbend part of a paperclip or use a small thin wire.
Then push the thin wire or straight end of the paper clip into the hole near the needle.
Move the wire or paper clip back and forth to unclog the hole.
Then you can plug your Keurig back in and turn it back on.
To unclog a Keurig you can run some straight white vinegar through it or some descaling solution through a brew cycle.
Then run straight water a few times again through the brew process to flush out the vinegar or descale solution.
When descaling a Keurig you run the vinegar or descaling solution through the Keurig like you would run the water when brewing.
After adding the vinegar or descaling solution to your Keurig you start the brewing process without a K cup and allow it to go through the brew cycle.
Then run water through a brew cycle a few times to rinse the vinegar or descaling solution out of the Keurig.
You can remove the limescale by running vinegar or a descaling solution through your Keurig and then running water through it to flush out the vinegar or descale solution.
To descale your Keurig, empty the water reservoir and fill it with the descaling solution or vinegar.
Then brew a full cycle without a k cup to run the solution or vinegar through the Keurig and after descaling the Keurig, run a few cycles of fresh water completely through the Keurig to remove the vinegar or descaling solution.
To reset your Keurig and force your Keurig to reboot start by turning off the Keurig machine and unplug it.
Then remove the water reservoir and wait at least 10 minutes.
After removing the water reservoir and waiting 10 minutes, plug the Keurig back in and turn the Keurig back on.
Next wait for the Keurig to recognize that the water reservoir is not connected and then reattach the water reservoir.
Then wait for the add water indicator light to stop flashing and open and close the K cup compartment.
You can also reboot your Keurig by pressing and holding the 9 oz and 10 oz buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.
The strong button on the Keurig is to allow for you to brew a more stronger and more concentrated cup of coffee.
When you press the strong button on your Keurig brewer it adjusts the brewing process to use a higher coffee to water ratio.
The higher coffee to water ratio, results in a bolder taste and essentially makes the coffee stronger by using more coffee grounds for the same amount of water.
Pressing the strong button on the Keruig activates the setting that increases the coffee strength.
when the strong button is pressed on the Keurig it extends the brewing time slightly and allows for more extraction of flavor from the coffee grounds.
To use the strong button on your Keurig, you simply press the strong button on the Keurig before you select the brew size to make a stronger and bolder cup of coffee.
Strong coffee is made by using a lower coffee-to-water ratio (more grounds, less water) and refers to the concentration of the beverage rather than the roast level.
Espresso coffee drinks by definition, are a strong drink since it's brewed as a very concentrated form of coffee.
