About every three months I have to "de-scale" my Keurig K-Cup pot when
it starts dispensing a partial cup... even though I use R-O water.

Three months ago I went thru all the clean with vinegar and flush
routines and it still dispensed partial cups.

Repeated all the recommended operations, still wouldn't work.

Pondering the way the reservoir was made with a check-valve at the
bottom, I wondered if that was the problem.

Took it outside, applied the garden hose to the valve, from the
bottom, made it "whistle" :-}

Returned it to the pot... problem gone, worked fine.

Yesterday, partial cups :-(

Applied the garden hose, problem solved ;-)

Try it next time your Keurig pot acts up.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Do those Fill it yourself K-cups work? I find the coffee selection
awful.
We have one of these machines at work.
It's actually the second one, the first suffered from the partial cup
problem.

They work, but are extra steps, including cleaning :-(

Why do you say the selection is awful? I buy online directly from
Keurig (who has the most variety, they bought out the competition

But have also bought from...

I'm primarily a Columbian La Vereda fan. The wife likes flavored
things like Hazelnut, French Vanilla, Earl Gray Tea, etc.

On cold mornings, like now... 52°F, I might have a hot cocoa or hot
apple cider (in K-cup form).

Now you know the solution ;-)

When I was at Zarlink (Rochester) last winter, they had a _huge_
Keurig machine directly plumbed to the water supply!

I don't have a problem with the fill it yourself cups but my wife does
not want me to use it because it loses a few grounds that find their
way into her tea. There are quite a few YouTube videos on repair
efforts. There is (or maybe was) the fellow who designed the thing
bragging about the "bubble pump" that moves the water to the top. I
believe the thing could be fixed if you could figure out how to take
it apart without destroying it. I have the first one stored until some
one does a video with something helpful.
