Purify your water instantly: the ultimate guide to installing a water filter in your k supreme plus

Are you tired of dealing with the hassle of stale or contaminated water in your Keurig K-Supreme Plus coffee maker? Installing a water filter is the perfect solution to ensure you enjoy a fresh and flavorful cup of coffee every time. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of installing a water filter in your K-Supreme Plus, empowering you to savor the purest coffee experience.

Materials You’ll Need

• Keurig K-Supreme Plus coffee maker
• Keurig water filter
• Water
• Towel or paper towels

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Remove the water reservoir: Lift the water reservoir off the coffee maker.
2. Locate the filter holder: Inside the reservoir, you’ll find a small, circular filter holder with a white tab.
3. Remove the old filter (if any): If there’s an existing filter installed, gently pull on the white tab to remove it.
4. Rinse the filter holder: Use cold water to rinse out any coffee grounds or residue from the filter holder.
5. Soak the new filter: Submerge the new water filter in cold water for 5 minutes. This helps activate the filter and remove any air bubbles.
6. Insert the filter: Align the new filter with the filter holder and insert it until it snaps into place. Ensure the white tab is facing up.
7. Reinstall the water reservoir: Place the water reservoir back onto the coffee maker.
8. Run a cleaning cycle: Fill the reservoir with fresh water and run a brew cycle without a K-Cup. This helps flush out any remaining air or impurities from the filter.

Tips for Optimal Performance

• Replace the filter regularly: Keurig recommends replacing the water filter every 2-3 months or after 60 tank refills.
• Use filtered water: Using filtered water from a refrigerator or a Brita pitcher helps prolong the life of the filter and improves coffee taste.
• Clean the filter holder periodically: Remove the filter and rinse the filter holder with warm water every month to prevent buildup.

Benefits of Using a Water Filter

• Improved coffee taste: A water filter removes impurities like chlorine and minerals, resulting in a cleaner and more flavorful coffee.
• Reduced limescale buildup: Minerals in hard water can cause limescale buildup in your coffee maker, affecting its performance and longevity. A water filter helps prevent this buildup.
• Extended coffee maker lifespan: By filtering out impurities, a water filter helps keep your coffee maker clean and functioning optimally.

Troubleshooting

• No water flow: Ensure the filter is properly installed and the water reservoir is full.
• Leaking from the filter holder: Check if the filter is inserted correctly and the white tab is facing up.
• Coffee tastes bitter: Replace the water filter with a new one.
