Keurig B70 Coffee Maker - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Can I use Cafiza cleaning tablets?
I would not do this. It may damage the internal hose material. I recommend using Keurig's method for cleaning: run 3 cups of white vinegar through it, let it stand 4-3 hours (or longer) then rinse it well by running several tanks of water through it. That will remove all hard water residue within the unit. Also clean out the needles that pierce the cup, top and bottom, with a paper clip, since they often have coffee grounds plugging them.

My Keurig is just dripping
I blew out the tip and the water intake with my nail gun air compressor. Tried the tip first without any results. After I tried the water intake, hot water started to drip from the tip. Worked fine afterwards. Like other people have stated, water will spray, so make sure you cover the inlet and outlet areas with a towel. Their is a second outlet that is a piece of rubber that drains into the back of the water storage area. It points down and is ment to drain back into the water holding tank. Hot water could spray onto you hand after using the compressed air so be careful.

My Keurig will only drip water when brewing. I've descaled, changed the filter, machine is only year and a half old.
#1. Use the paper clip trick on both top and bottom punchers. The holes are in the side of the punchers. (lots of video in youtube) #2. Descale it again with vinegar and leave it for 15-24 hrs before brew rinsing, (instead of 4 hours as mentioned on the manual) #3 some said, turning it upside down and giving it a shake, #4. visibly check the screen on the the water reservoir tank entrance clean if there's any visible clog. #5 Still having a problem, then, for the last resort, before deciding on replacing the diaphragm pump, open the bottom metal part (5 screws), inspect for any visible drip of water (accumulation of white hard water stains, or discoloration on the metal) visualize where it's coming from. Mine is on 2 areas--from the diaphragm pump (where there's 3 black screws) and where the connection of the main pump to the reservoir. This is good news, it means nothing wrong with the pumps. it's just been leaking a little bit of water on the connection (must be air tight, any leak will decrease the pressure). The common sense FIX: depress the metal clamp and pull the plastic tube out, clean the inside and the connection and re-attach it back making sure the little leak will stop. same with the other one then, then replace the other smaller tube with a new tie wrap and make sure it's air tight. Basically you just check all the hose connections make sure it's air tight..

Coming out in short spurt will not coffee cut up
there are a few things that can cause this;
1) You may need to clean the needle in the coffee exit where the coffee pod sits and gets pierced when the top is closed. You do this with a needle, be careful the point of the piercing nozzle is sharp and the needle point is as well.
2) There is also a needle in the cup holder under the pod that cuts the hole for the coffee stream, this needs to be cleaned with the needle.
3) The filter in the water tank may be plugged and needs to be cleaned.
4) The pump may be clogged with lime and scale.
5) The heater element may be scaled with lime.
6) Items #3 to 5), to fix this use DE-scalier, or vinegar solution, the pickling strength works better than household variety, but both are OK.
7) run the cycle for coffee, no pod, 3 times, this should clear the taste of the vinegar.
Hope this is your solution.

Coffee maker stopped working not brewing at all it
Hi:
I had the same problem when mine was only 2 weeks old. I kept turning it off and restarting it to no avail. I know it sounds overly simplistic, but I eventually unplugged it and then plugged it back in. I presume this reset some balky circuit because it has worked fine ever since.
I hope this simple suggestion is helpful.
Regards,
Dave

I have a Kuerig B70 model and I would like to know if it has been recalled also I have not idea how I would return it.
Do not send it to them. The guy that suggested this is totally wrong! They will not accept it. No one will accept anything back without a RMA. Check keurig.com to see if there is a recall. The only one I just saw was a recall on what I think is one of the new 2.o models. They will tell you how to proceed if they determine you yours is bad. I was told to send them my K-Cup holder as proof of purchase when they agreed mine was defective. I just checked Keurig.com. The only recall currently is for the K10 mini brewer.

B70 does not brew,it says to descale
It may be clogged up with hard water scale. Fill the reservoir with white vinegar. Place an empty coffee mug in the unit and continue to run vinegar through it until the reservoir is empty enough that it is asking you to add more water. Leave the unit alone and let the vinegar stand in the unit for 8-12 hours. Fill the reservoir with water and run water through the device (you might want to do this several times in order to make sure the vinegar is completely gone).
Also check to make sure that the piercing unit is not clogged with coffee grounds.
Hope this helps.

Keurig says it is brewing. Not brewing.
I just blew a small amount of compressed into the upper needle to clean out the water line to the coffee cartridge . I guess you could use a pin or toothpick to loosen the debris where the needle enters the coffee cartridge as it seems this is where the blockage most likely occurs. I did not disconnect anything but was careful not to use to much air pressure. After cleaning the line I ran a cycle without a cartridge to flush out the line. I have not had a problem for months after doing this. I guess you should on occasion run a clean cycle.
