r/keurig

I left for a two week vacation, and when I returned my machine started acting up. Stopping the brew mid cycle. So I cleaned the needles and ran a descaling cycle hoping that would fix it. But It hasn’t gone back to its normal condition. The brew is not as hot, it intermittently still stops brewing mid cycle, and when it does brew a full cycle the coffee tastes bitter. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? I ran 4 full reservoir rinses after the descale. I didn’t use the Keurig descaling solution so I wonder if that is the problem.

Howdy friends, is anyone aware of a filter that can be used with standard K-Cups? I bought a bunch of Costco Pacific Blend and didn't realize I actually needed it filtered.
