What Scale Is In The
Keurig K-Supreme?
In a coffee maker, scale refers to the
accumulation of hard water residues. Your Keurig collects calcium, magnesium,
and other minerals from the water, which can block the device and affect your
coffee’s taste.
Hard water looks milky when first coming out
from the faucet. So when the water in shower heads or faucets in your household
has a chalky appearance, you can tell that hard water is running through the
pipes.
However, since mineral deposits are present to
some degree in all water, you can’t avoid descaling completely.
Hard water may also be there if you use filtered
water to make coffee using the Keurig K-Supreme Plus. Its buildup will give you
a headache.
What Does Resetting Descale Mean?
Descaling your Keurig machine means using a
descaling solution to clean calcium buildup from the coffee maker’s pipes.
The descale light will warn when something
prevents the water from flowing correctly. Although the light primarily informs
you of the calcium buildup, it isn’t the only problem.
Some people use refillable K-cups because they
don’t want to toss plastic cups every time they make coffee using the machine.
However, some manufacturers of refilled cups offer greater flow space than
others.
Another possibility is when you pack the cup too
firmly, which can stop the water from pouring. These two factors may cause the
descale light to turn on.
When we mention “resetting descale” in the
Keurig K Supreme Plus, we mean clearing the scale in the machine so the descale
light will turn off.
