After reading several solutions here, I combined them and got a SUCCESS! "slapping your Keurig around" really does work. I would only do this with an out-of-warranty machine, as an act of desperation. And only after de-scaling thoroughly.
1. **** the needles out, top and bottom using an unwound paper clip. They get coffee grounds in them. Be careful, they're really sharp! There are three slots in the upper one, and one slot in the lower one. (the online manual tells you how to do this and there are posts here, too). Do a trial run. If you have no success, go on to the next step.
2. If you have hot water backflowing into the fresh water reservoir, you probably have an air bubble in the tubes. The solution to this, weirdly enough, is to "slap the machine around" to dislodge the air bubble. I raised the 1/4 full fresh water reservoir an inch or two and slammed it back into place. (Guys, be reasonable about your slamming, no gorilla stuff!). Test the system
If that doesn't work, pick up the whole coffee maker about an inch off the counter and drop it straight down. This does splash hot water around sometimes so be careful.
If that doesn't work, put your hands on the sides of the coffee maker and shake or rock it from side to side, or back and forth. Be reasonably rough, remember, you are trying to get an air bubble to rise up a tube.
I found that by the time I had done all this, I got a normal flow. I believe this is caused by removing the reservoir to fill it when the machine is running. If you have to fill it when the machine is brewing, use a pitcher or a big cup.
If the Keurig is pumping correctly, you should seeTHREE streams of water coming out of the kcup holder.
Thanks alot! That worked for me!!!
well when u have nothing to lose, desperate times call for slamming your keurig ... between tilting and slams, yes i got the air bubbles out!
