How do I know when to descale my Keurig machine?

Keurig machines typically need to be descaled every three to six months, depending on the water quality in your area and the frequency of use. Certain models feature a descale alert that will illuminate when it is time to perform this maintenance. If your machine does not have such an alert, you can look for signs that descaling is necessary. These signs may include a slower brewing process, unusual sounds during brewing, or a buildup of calcium deposits in the water reservoir. Additionally, if you notice a decrease in the coffee quality or the machine is producing less steam, these can also indicate the need for descaling. It is essential to follow the proper descaling procedure as recommended by Keurig for optimal performance.
