Introduction

The needle that punctures the K-Cup beverage canister can sometimes become clogged with coffee particles. Take caution as this needle is very sharp and can cut skin.

    • Pull and snap apart the funnel from the K-Cup Pack Holder (If this is the first time separating the Pack Holder Assembly, more force may be required)

    • Insert a paperclip or other small, sharp object into the bottom of the K-Cup Pack Holder needle compartment to clear out any debris. If debris is too dry and compact, perform this step under running water to loosen the debris

    • Flip K-Cup Pack Holder and repeat

    If the exit needle is pushed up how do you put it down

    • With the Lid still open, locate the Puncture Needle. Insert a paperclip or other small sharp object into the Puncture Needle Holes to remove any debris trapped inside

    Worked like a charm!

    I was focused more on the bottom needle vs the upper needle.

    Not only is the water passing through the cup now, it’s also a stronger stream.

    Thank you very much for creating this ifix guide.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Once reassembled, run the brewer once or twice with just water to cleanse the system.
