I was getting very, very cold drinks after brewing. I didn't know what the issue was. I even descaled the unit with a universal descaler from Essential Values - Coffee Machine Descaler & Cleaner and ran a cleaning tablet, but the brewing was still very, very cold. It was making my espresso drinks hard to drink. I was thinking my machine was broken.\n\nSo this week, I had the courage to try again and put up more money for a different descaler this time. I tried this Descaler and oh, boy did this made a huge difference. My espresso drinks are now very hot and tasty. Boy, am I glad i tried this. Thank you to this Universal Descaler. : ) :) :)"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Purchased this Descaler as our several year old Keurig Single cup coffee brewer no longer brewed a full cup of coffee. Water flow was very slow and coffee cup only 1/2 filled. Following the simple directions on the bottle - and using just 1/2 a bottle of Descaler, the Keurig machine was restored to full performance. It also brewed a hotter cup of coffee! Very good product as far as I am concerned.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I used this product on our Keurig machine from work. This machine received heavy daily use for about 5 years without any maintenance at all. The performance slowed over time and we got a descale message. BUT, the coffee was still coming out, just slower! I didn\'t say we were all smart at work and we just kept using it. Finally, one day it stopped. Someone brought in vinegar to descale it. That didn\'t work at all. After 2 weeks without our Keurig we finally purchased a new one. I took the "broken" one home to conduct a Kuerig "autopsy" to determine the cause of death. My wife (finally someone with brains) stopped me. She ordered this Kuerig Descaler and told me to try this before I started tearing up the machine. After the two treatments and 8 or so full water reservoirs "It\'s Alive!". This descaler was great! After the first treatment there was some dripping. I followed the instructions provided and it just kept getting better and better. Now it works like it was new! It will brew the largest size in about 10-15 seconds max. Totally impressed! Thank you for the great product!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I had been unsuccessfully trying to descale our Ninja Coffee Bar with the recommended vinegar clean process. it would hold for all of a day before our “clean” light would come on again. finally decided we needed something more and sprung for this descaler based on the reviews I read here. no complaints!! worked like a charm and we haven’t had to descale outside of expected clean times since!! don’t bother with the vinegar method if you’re trying to clean a Ninja - go straight for this solution and save yourself some time and energy!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Easy to use and works great! In the past I'd tried cleaning my Keurig with ACV (horrible if you don't get it all out and it curdles the creamer). I also tried simply flushing with water alone which worked for about two days. This is less expensive than the name brand for four uses, I think it has no smell (someone complained about that in a review...not sure what they're talking about), and my Keurig is brewing faster and actually looks cleaner in the reservoir. The solution is a little soapy in appearance, I followed the instructions, used half a bottle, ran a brew cycle til it said add water (all this involves lots of dumping the cup each time), then I filled the reservoir with water and did it again, then I did just water for a second time for a total of 3 times per the instructions. This is three cycles to empty not just three brews. At the end I dumped the lingering water out and cleaned the reservoir, filled it and the next morning had a great cup of coffee. I personally think anyone who had issues using this either didn't follow directions (as a teacher for nearly a decade I know that's most likely) or are just a troll looking to be a grouch. I use my Keurig 2-3 a day every day."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'i had my keurig for 4 years and never knew about "descaling." Well within the last week, my keurig would take forever to cycle water and my cups would be half as full. i used this as directed, and its like new again!!! you can get 2 uses out of one bottle but MAKE SURE you cycle enough water through your machine after you use this or your coffee will taste funky and im sure isnt good for you!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Descaled my Keurig admirably. Takes a while to follow the instructions completely as they require multiple cycles of brewing hot water, sitting, and repeat. But follow them CLOSELY with ALL THE CYCLES or you will make acidic coffee that you will sip and then spit on your freshly descaled coffeemaker....ask me how I know.\n\nI hear citric acid is a less expensive alternative, but this stuff works fine for me and is not more than I need. I do this every couple of months because it doesn't seem necessary every month for our household of 2 coffee and tea drinkers."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Worked great for my Nespresso vertuoline. I followed the Nespresso descaling directions instead of what was written on the bottle so I used a half bottle of the descaler (4oz) and mixed in 500ml of water. Coffee comes out hotter now and I’m getting fuller cups, just like when I first got the machine.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I was going to replace our Keurig with a newer one. All of our coffee taste .... off! Like burned, and old. I tried changing coffee, but nothing would work.\n\nThank GOD I didn’t go without trying this!\n\nThis was my last resort and it worked perfectly! I’d recommend to anyone before buying another!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Worked like a charm! I actually followed the instructions on both the bottle, and my DeLonghi Nespresso Vertuo and Keurig K-Elite instruction guides. I mixed half of the bottle(4 oz) for each machine and filled the rest of each tank with water.\nFor the Nespresso, I activated the descaling mode by holding the main button and pressing down on the lever for at least 3 seconds, and let it run until finished. Then I ran the rinse mode for two tanks with clean water. This process was pretty quick as the Nespresso tank is small. The orange and green descaling notification light disappeared after descaling.\nAs for the Keurig, it took much longer to descale obviously. There is no "descale" mode on the Keurig so you just run the hot water mode for the largest cup about 6 or 7 times. After all the descaling solution is run through the machine then Keurig says to rinse it with two tanks of clean water which is equal to running it 12 times. The entire descale/rinse process takes up to 45-60 minutes which is a huge pain so luckily I only descale once every 1-2 years.\nMy Nespresso and Keurig machines taste great and like new. Good luck!'}]
