- Plug & Place
Remove packing tape from the brewer and frother. Plug each into an outlet. Place a large mug (10oz minimum) on the drip tray. - Rinse & Fill
Remove the water reservoir lid, then lift the reservoir straight up to remove it. If you have a Keurig® Water Filter (sold separately), install it now. Refer to your Water Filter Starter Kit for instructions. Rinse the reservoir with fresh water and fill it to the MAX FILL line. Replace the water reservoir, making sure the tank is seated properly in the base. Replace lid. - Clean the Frother
Remove the lid and whisk from inside the frother. Wash the interior of the frother, and lid, and whisk with warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly using a soft, non-abrasive cloth, then reassemble. - Cleansing Brew
Lift and lower the handle. Do not insert a K-Cup® pod. The brewer will power on automatically. The 3-cup sizes will blink. Press the 8oz button to start a cleansing brew. Pour the hot water into the sink. Do not remove the water reservoir or lift the handle once the brew button has been pressed until the brew has been completed.
Make Your First Hot or Iced Latte
- Froth Milk
Remove the lid and add milk to the MAX line marked in the frother (for cappuccino, fill to MIN line). Replace the lid and place the frother on the frother base. Press the K button on the frother one time to activate the hot froth setting. The LED will stay illuminated while frothing. Frothing is complete when the LED turns off. To Make It Iced: Press the K button twice in rapid succession to activate the Iced Setting on your frother. - Brew
While frothing, lift the handle of your brewer and place a K-Cup® pod in the K-Cup® pod holder. Lower the handle completely to close the lid and place a mug on the drip tray. The brew selections will blink. Press the SHOT* button. To Make It Iced: Place ice in your cup and press the BREW OVER ICE button. - Create Your Latte
Once the brew is completed, dispose of the used K-Cup® pod. Remove the frother from the base. Remove the lid and pour the frothed milk over your coffee.

Caring For Your Brewer
Regular cleaning keeps your brewer running smoothly. Always be sure to turn off and unplug your brewer before cleaning.
Brewer Exterior
Keep your Keurig® brewer looking its best by cleaning the exterior from time to time. Just clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free, nonabrasive cloth. Never immerse the brewer in water or other liquids.
Drip Tray
The drip tray overflow should be emptied and cleaned occasionally. To remove, lift off the brewer base, keeping it level to avoid spilling. Rinse and clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free, nonabrasive cloth. Hand-wash only.
Water Reservoir
The water reservoir should be cleaned periodically by wiping the inside of the reservoir and the underside of the lid with a damp, nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain. Allow the reservoir to dry completely. Hand-wash only.
Care For Your Frother
Clean immediately after each use and before the first use.
To Clean
- Remove the frother from the base, remove the silicone ring from the lid, and remove the whisk from inside the frother.
- Wash the silicone ring, and lid, and whisk with warm, soapy water.
- Clean the interior of the frother with soap and rinse with warm water. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge to prevent damaging the inner coating.
- Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
- Dry all parts thoroughly and reassemble for next use.
K-Cup® Pod Holder
To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from the brewer, lift the handle and grasp the top of the K-Cup® pod holder with one hand while pushing up on the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder from underneath with the other until it releases. After cleaning, align the K-Cup® pod holder with the opening, using the two front ribs as a guide, and snap into place from the top.
Funnel
Washing the funnel ensures a fresh beverage experience. The funnel should be washed regularly and can be removed from the K-Cup® pod holder by pulling on it until it pops off. To replace it, orient the snaps to the indent and just snap it back onto the K-Cup® pod holder.
Exit Needle
Remove the pod holder assembly and detach the funnel. Locate the exit needle on the inside bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. Insert a straightened paper clip into the exit needle to loosen any coffee grounds.
Entrance Needle
Lift the brewer handle and locate the entrance needle on the underside of the lid. To clean the holes in the needle, hold the brewer handle in the upward position; with your other hand, carefully insert a straightened paper clip into all the holes. Gently move it around to loosen any coffee grounds. Lower the handle completely and run a cleansing brew two times. Do not insert a K-Cup® pod.
Regular Maintenance
For great-tasting coffee, keep your brewer running at peak performance by following the recommended maintenance schedule:
Troubleshooting
Frother
- For best froth performance, be sure the whisk is seated properly on the post at the bottom of the froth.
- Some separation of milk and froth can occur, especially if the froth is not poured right away. Pour the milk and scoop the froth into your beverage with a spoon if needed.
- If you are not satisfied with how your milk is frothing, please reference the How to Froth Like a Pro section of this guide for helpful hints. If you are still unsatisfied with your milk froth, please call Customer Service.
- If you are frothing the same milk twice, you may experience a shorter froth time, as the milk will have already reached the target temperature.
- If your milk frother is overflowing, be sure you are filling below the MAX fill line inside the frother.
- If your milk frother is scalding or burning the milk, be sure you are filling above the MIN fill line inside the frother. Additionally, be sure to clean residual milk at the bottom of the frother after each froth to avoid scalded milk.
- If the milk frother is not turning on, unplug your frother, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in, and try again. If it still does not work, call Customer Service.
Grounds in Your Coffee
Grounds may have gathered in the exit or entrance needles and can be cleaned using a straightened paper clip or similar tool.
- Clean the exit needle of the K-Cup® pod holder. Refer to the exit needle care instructions.
- Clean the brewer entrance needle. Refer to the entrance needle care instructions.
For optimal enjoyment and to limit grounds in your cup during hot water brews or when transitioning from brewing a coffee pod to a non-coffee pod (e.g., tea or cocoa), clean the exit and entrance needles per the instructions provided and perform two cleansing brews.
Brewing a Partial Cup
- Unplug and plug the brewer back in. Remove and replace the water reservoir, ensuring a proper fit on the base.
- Clean the K-Cup® pod holder and unclog the needles, following the K-Cup® pod holder care instructions.
- The brewer may need to be described. If you have repeated the descaling procedure on your brewer two times and it is still only brewing a partial cup, contact Customer Service.
Brewer Does Not Have Power or Shuts Off
- Press any button or lift the brewer handle to turn on the brewer.
- Plug the brewer into its outlet. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your brewer may not function properly. The brewer should be operated on its circuit, separate from other appliances.
- For energy savings, the brewer automatically turns off 5 minutes after the last brew.
- If the brewer still doesn’t have power, contact Customer Service.
Warranty
LIMITED ONE-YEAR WARRANTY
Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (Keurig) warrants that your brewer will be free of defects in materials or workmanship under normal home use for one year from the date of purchase. It is recommended that you register your brewer on keurig.com/new so that your purchase information will be stored in our system. Keurig will, at its option, repair or replace a defective brewer without charge upon receipt of proof of the date of purchase. If a replacement brewer is necessary to service this warranty, the replacement brewer may be new or reconditioned. If a replacement brewer is sent, a new limited one-year warranty will be applied to the replacement brewer.
This warranty only applies to brewers operated in the United States and Canada. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state and, in the case of Canada, from province to province. Only the use of Keurig® K-Cup® brand pods and accessories will guarantee the proper functioning and lifetime of your Keurig® brewer. Any damage to or malfunction of your brewer resulting from the use of non-Keurig® pods and accessories may not be covered by this warranty or may result in a service fee if the damage or malfunction is determined to be caused by such use.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY?
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SUCH AS PROPERTY DAMAGE AND DOES NOT COVER INCIDENTAL COSTS AND EXPENSES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE.
Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you depending on the state or province of purchase. Nor does this warranty cover damages caused by the use of non-Keurig® pods or accessories, services performed by anyone other than Keurig or its authorized service providers, use of parts other than genuine Keurig® parts, or external causes such as abuse, misuse, inappropriate power supply, or acts of God.
OTHER LIMITATIONS
THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS INSTEAD OF ANY OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL. IN ADDITION, KEURIG HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES CONCERNING YOUR KEURIG® BREWER, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Some states or provinces do not allow disclaimers of such implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you depending on the state or the province of purchase.
HOW DO YOU OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE?
Keurig® brewers are high-quality appliances and, with proper care, are intended to provide years of satisfying performance. However, should the need arise for warranty servicing, simply call Keurig Customer Service at our toll-free phone number, 1-866-901-BREW (2739).
