How do I properly store my Keurig when not in use?

Properly storing a Keurig when it is not in use can help prolong its lifespan and maintain its performance. First, ensure that the machine is turned off and unplugged for safety. It is advisable to empty the water reservoir to prevent stagnant water from accumulating, which can lead to mold or mildew. Clean the internal parts if necessary by running a brew cycle with just water before storage. Once the water reservoir is empty, allow it to dry completely to avoid any moisture-related issues. For long-term storage, keep the Keurig in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity, as these conditions can potentially affect its components. If the machine is being stored for an extended period, consider covering it with a soft cloth or placing it in a protective box to prevent dust accumulation.
