You've probably heard that you need to regularly descale, and clean your Keurig or pod-based coffeemaker. Descaling sounds like a weird thing to have to do to your coffeemaker, doesn't it? Where are the scales, and why does every guide tell me that my coffeemaker has a characteristic in common with crocodiles and turtles?
Water makes up nearly 99% of your average cup of coffee. No matter where you get your water from, it will contain very small quantities of different minerals. Calcium is one of the biggest offenders in city provided tap water. When calcium builds up over time throughout the coffee making process, limescale will develop on the inside of your coffeemaker. When you're descaling your coffeemaker, you're getting rid of that limescale that has developed over the longterm usage of your machine.
This method will work with any sort of pod based coffee making system. If you have a machine that has a specific brewing method, such as those that are commonly made to use espresso, you will have to take additional steps to make sure that every facet is properly cleaned and decalcified. The basic idea will remain the same, but this is specifically tailored towards a Keurig product.
