How often do kuerigs need to be cleaned?

Really depends on your water. I’ve been just buying the gallon jugs of distilled drinking water for $.88 at WallyWorld for it. I clean about every six months now but, even then really doesn’t need it. At the Ranch, majority of the time it’s just me and drink one cup and occasionally two cups then turn it off.

I was out in horse pasture mowing under trees with the Zero Turn most of the day in just a camo T-shirt. By late afternoon it got up to 78 degrees with a south wind. At exactly 4 p.m. the front came thru, wind changed to north, and temp dropped from 78 to 55 in less than 20 minutes. Now 47.

Kuerig mine ended up in the trash, tasted like instant coffee. Now have the ninja coffee maker can make from nor cup to a full pot, drip coffee. But to be honest most of my coffee is from D&D drive up window.
Rip sounds like your wife is on the mend hard watching them when sick.
Light rain tonight with some black ice, for all traveling over this holiday season have a safe trip and to all enjoy the Holiday season!
And as Tiny Tim would say "God bless us everyone"
Merry Christmas

If you use purified water, not very often, if not once a month or longer depending on water content. My first three Kuerigs lasted almost exactly one year and were all replaced under warranty
, so I was getting newer models the last time. Frequent deep Cleaning and durability were my complaint, so I bought a spin brew this time, almost three years so far and it cost half what the first Kuerig did. But everyone will have a different experience because of the difference in water, etc....

It depends on your water. We clean it about once every 2 months. We have the kind that the amount of water you pour in is the amount you get out. The water does not ever sit for more than a few seconds. Amazon.com: Keurig K15 Single Serve Compact K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker, Chili Red: Kitchen & Dining

I would add my Power Air Fryer and Crock Pot to the List too.

We haven't use a Crock Pot since we got the Instant Pot 4 years ago.

So does anybody grind their own coffee for the Kuerig? How would that work?

You could. Instead of using the pre-made pods you can fill your own. We use these filters and holder.

Snow still coming down...might be some freezing rain mixed in with it. Well, might not snow Christmas day, but with major snow storms back to back, it'll definitely be a white Christmas in Vermont!

I knocked off work at noon today...slow drive home (50 miles) but fairly uneventful. Two cars off the road...one on it's roof.

My boss gave me a bottle of Crown Royal...one shot after I got home, a couple beers and than a nap (which is why I'm posting this late).

Today is our 21st Wedding Anniversary...fortunately, my step-daughter reminded me before my wife did!
