Keurig K15 User Manual

FAQ & User Guide
 How hot is the water in the K15 Coffee Maker?
The optimal temperature for brewing beverages in your Keurig K-Cup coffee maker is
192° F. This is the internal temperature of the water in your brewer. However, once your
beverage is brewed, the dispensed temperature can vary greatly. In-cup temperature
depends on the temperature of the cup and material it is made from. When brewing into
an insulated container, such as a foam or paper cup, 180-185°F in-cup temperature is
typically attained. In addition, dispensing into a cold ceramic mug will cool the beverage
significantly.
 How much water do I add at a time to the K15 Coffee Maker?
Any amount between 6-10 ounces but no more than 10 ounces.
 How do I descale the K15 Coffee Maker?
Before you begin, you will need a large ceramic mug, fresh water, descale solution and
access to a sink. Do not use a paper cup. STEP 1: FIRST DESCALING SOLUTION

residual taste.
 How do I fix a short cup?
If your brewer is not brewing the full amount selected, it may be caused by the following:
• The exit needle is clogged by coffee grounds or cocoa mix. Please refer to page 23 of
your user guide for cleaning instructions. (Download user guide below)
• The brewer may need to be descaled. Please refer to the descaling instructions.
