Problem 02: Keurig K-Supreme Plus Not Brewing At All

Coffee can only be relished when your brewer is working. If the brewer fails to fulfill your coffee desires, then what’s the purpose it left with anymore? So that’s why it is necessary to fix the problem of “Coffee maker not brewing at all.” But first, let’s see its cause.

Cause 01: Requires Resetting

The main reason your Keurig K-Supreme Plus is not brewing at all could be due to its need for resetting.

Solution: Resetting Your Coffee Maker

Cause 02: Parts Not Placed Correctly

As the Keurig machine’s parts work collectively to produce fine coffee thus, if one part is not placed correctly, it can cause an inability to brew coffee.

Solution: Reposition The Machine’s Parts 

1. You should remove the water tank and place it back correctly onto the machine.
2. Correctly place the right size reusable K-cup in the K-cup pod holder.

Cause 03: Low Water Level

If the water level is low to such an extent that one coffee mug can’t be brewed, then that is the reason your brewer is not working or brewing.

Solution: Check & Fill The Water Tank

You should check if there is an adequate amount of water in the water tank or not. If the water volume is low, then you should fill it up to the maximum level.

Cause 04: Use Of Heavy Water

After the above solutions, your machine won’t brew, then you should descale your machine as the use of heavy water can make calcium/magnesium deposits, thus blocking the path for water or coffee to flow. 

Solution: Descale

If the above solution won’t work, then it’s time for you to descale your machine. To know how to descale, you can check out “Descaling instructions” under “Problem 1(Cause 2)”.

Cause 06: The Machine Is Not Ready

If you don’t let your machine to ready and heat up first, then there are chances that the brewing will not happen, and even if it did, the process could stop mid-way because the water was not hot enough to saturate the coffee grounds nicely.

Solution: Wait For The Machine To Ready 

You should always give some time to your machine so that it can heat up the water for the coffee brewing process.

Problem 03: Keurig K-Supreme Plus Is Brewing A Partial Cup

If your brewer is not brewing to its full extent, then it is just a waste of energy and coffee capsules, and the mood spoilage is constant damage. To avoid it, let’s see the cause and solution. 

Cause 01: Water Tank Is Not Placed Correctly

Incorrect placement of the water tank can cause the brewer to brew a partial cup instead of a full cup of coffee.

Solution: Correct Placement Of The Water Tank

Remove the tank from the machine and place it back correctly on the machine, and if the water level is low, then fill the tank to the max. Level.

Cause 02: Buildups Formation

Buildups such as coffee or minerals from hard water (calcium or magnesium) have been formed inside the machine leading to partial coffee volume.

Solution: Clean Up Your Machine

When a less volume of coffee is brewing, then your machine requests you to clean it. Descaling is the best solution to remove the internal buildups and clean your machine nicely and thoroughly. To know the descaling procedure, check “Descaling Instructions” under “Problem 1 (Cause 2)”.

Cause 03: Clogged Needles

Clogging in the needles due to grinds buildups which cause brewing of only partial coffee cup instead of full one.

Problem 07: Keurig K-Supreme Plus Is Leaking Or Spilling Water

Leakage in the Keurig machines, including Keurig K-Supreme Plus, is not a good sign, and the faster it is fixed, the better. Here are the root cause and solution for leakage. 

Cause 01: The Clogged Valve Of The Water Tank Base

Problem 08: Keurig K-Supreme Plus Is Producing Weaker Coffee Than Usual

Coffee is known for its intense taste and aroma, and if your coffee maker fails to produce this, then it’s mainly failing its duty. Thus it’s better to fix it or go for the new one. But here, I would help you in fixing your brewer rather than telling you to buy a new one which would be costly. So let’s see the root cause and know how to fix the issue.

Cause 01: Using Wrong K-Cup Flavor

The type of K-cup Flavor you are using can affect the taste. Some K-cups are manufactured to give a less intense taste, and some are designed for intense flavor. You should always check what kind of flavored coffee K-pods you are buying. The more you use water in your coffee, the less intense the flavor becomes. 

Solution: Use Strong Coffee Flavors

You should use strong coffee flavor pods for an intense coffee taste rather than using light coffee pods. 

Cause 02: Clogged Needles & Buildups

Clogged needles could be the source of the unusual coffee taste or bad coffee taste with less intensity. It’s good to either descale your machine or to clean the clogged needles.

Solution: Descaling 

You should also descale your machine to internally clean the machines by removing buildups and dirt or to unclog the partially clogged internal pipes that can not only affect the coffee taste but also reduce the coffee volume. To know how to descale your brewer, you can check “Descale your machine process” under the solution of “Problem 01 (Cause 02)”.

The material on which you have placed your Keurig could be the reason for the loud noises.

Solution: Replace The Material Upon Which You Have Placed Your Machine

 You can place a soft rubber plate, wood piece, styrofoam, or soft mouse pad under the machine to lower the loud noises.

Cause 02: Clogged Machine

Clogging in the machine can be the reason you hear the unusual sound. The clogging can occur due to the use of hard water or using the machine for a long time without descaling/cleaning it (as prolonged usage can lead to coffee grounds build-ups, leading to clogging in the line).

Solution: Unclog The Machine

You should unclog the needles using the paper clip and descale the machine for finer cleaning. To know how to descale your brewer, you can check Problem 01, Cause 02’s Solution. To know how you can unclog the needles using paperclips, you can check Unclog the Neddels process under the solution of “Problem 01 (Cause 01)”.

Hot or cold coffee is more likely to be loved, and the in-between temperature could be called late and mood-spoiling coffee. If your Keurig K-Supreme Plus is not brewing hot coffee, then there is how you can fix it.

Cause 01: Damaged Thermostat

Solution: Pre-Heating Cup

You should preheat the cup by adding warm water to the cup and wait for a few minutes, and then discard it to get a hot coffee shot before letting the coffee drip into the cup; it will keep the coffee hot and not let it get cold faster.

Problem 11: Keurig K-Supreme Plus Is Experiencing Clogs In The Needles.

Clogging needles are the source of many issues in the machine, so you should specifically care for the needles. If your machine’s needles are clogged, then here’s how you can fix it.
