Installing a water filter is one of the most important things you can do to improve the taste and quality of your Keurig coffee. Installing a Keurig water filter is easier than you might think. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
First, you need to remove the old filter cartridge. To do this, open the water reservoir lid on the back of your Keurig machine. Then, push down on the small black tab located at the top of the filter cartridge and pull it straight out. Once the old filter cartridge has been removed, you can insert the new one. To do this, simply line up the new filter cartridge with the opening in the water reservoir and push it in until it clicks into place. Finally, close the water reservoir lid and you’re all set!
If you’re not sure whether or not your Keurig machine needs a new filter, there are a few signs to look for. First, if you notice that your coffee is starting to taste bitter or metallic, it’s probably time to replace the filter. Second, if you see any black or brown particles in your coffee, it’s also a sign that the filter needs to be replaced. Finally, if you notice that your Keurig machine is taking longer than usual to brew a cup of coffee, it could be a sign that the filter is clogged and needs to be replaced.
Installing a water filter is a simple and easy way to improve the taste and quality of your Keurig coffee. By following these simple steps, you can keep your Keurig machine running smoothly and producing great-tasting coffee for years to come.
