Brewing a Single Cup
Let’s brew! First, ensure your Keurig B70 is powered on․ Lift the handle and insert a K-Cup pod into the brew chamber․ Close the handle firmly – the unit won’t brew if it’s not securely latched․
Select your desired brew size using the buttons; options typically include 6, 8, and 10 ounces․ Place a mug on the drip tray․ Press the brew button to initiate the brewing process․ The Keurig will automatically pierce the K-Cup and begin dispensing hot water․
Brewing will complete automatically․ Carefully remove the used K-Cup pod and dispose of it properly․ Caution: The pod and brewing chamber may be hot! Enjoy your freshly brewed single cup of coffee․ Remember to regularly descale your brewer for optimal performance, following the instructions in the maintenance section․
For best results, use filtered water and fresh K-Cup pods․
Brewing Multiple Cups
Brewing for a crowd? The Keurig B70 simplifies making multiple cups consecutively․ After brewing your first cup, the unit will automatically return to the ready state․ Simply lift the handle, insert a new K-Cup pod, and close the handle securely․
Repeat the process for each additional cup you desire․ The water reservoir will need refilling as you brew multiple servings – monitor the water level indicator․ Remember to allow the brewer a short pause between brews to maintain optimal temperature and flavor․
For consistent results, ensure each mug is placed on the drip tray before initiating the brew cycle․ Tip: Using the “Strong” brew option (described elsewhere in this manual) can enhance the flavor of larger volumes․ Regularly cleaning your Keurig ensures consistently delicious multiple-cup brewing․
Enjoy sharing freshly brewed coffee with friends and family!
Using the “Strong” Brew Option
Want a bolder cup? The Keurig B70’s “Strong” brew option delivers a richer, more intense flavor․ To activate this feature, press the “Strong” button before initiating the brew cycle․ The indicator light will illuminate, confirming the selection․
This setting slows down the brewing process, allowing for increased extraction from the K-Cup pod․ It’s particularly effective with darker roast coffees or when you prefer a more robust taste․ Note that using the “Strong” option may slightly increase brew time․
Experiment with different K-Cup varieties to discover your perfect strength․ Tip: Combine the “Strong” brew with a smaller cup size for an exceptionally concentrated flavor․ Remember to deactivate the “Strong” option by pressing the button again when you desire a standard brew․
Enjoy a customized coffee experience tailored to your preferences!
Adjusting Brew Size
Customize your cup! The Keurig B70 allows you to select from several brew sizes to suit your mug and desired coffee strength․ Before brewing, use the size selection buttons located on the control panel․ Options typically include 6, 8, 10, and 12-ounce settings․
Press the corresponding button to illuminate the indicator light for your chosen size․ The brewer will dispense the appropriate amount of water for the selected brew volume․ Smaller sizes deliver a more concentrated flavor, while larger sizes are ideal for travel mugs or those who prefer a bigger serving․
Pro Tip: Experiment with different sizes and K-Cup varieties to find your perfect combination․ Remember to consider the recommended brew size indicated on the K-Cup packaging for optimal results․ Enjoy perfectly portioned coffee every time!
Tailor your brew to your exact preferences with ease․
Maintenance and Cleaning
Keep it fresh! Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Keurig B70․ Descale frequently, clean the exterior, and replace the water filter as needed․
Follow these simple steps for consistently delicious coffee!
Descaling the Keurig B70
Descaling is crucial! Mineral buildup can affect brew performance and coffee taste․ The Keurig B70, like other models (Elite B40, Classic B44, Special Edition B60), requires periodic descaling․ You’ll need Keurig’s Descaling Solution or white vinegar and water․
Empty the water reservoir and add the descaling solution (or a 1:1 vinegar/water mix)․ Run a full brew cycle without a K-Cup․ Repeat several times․ Then, rinse the reservoir thoroughly with fresh water and run multiple brew cycles with only water to eliminate any residual taste․
The frequency depends on water hardness; generally, every 3-6 months is recommended․ Ignoring descaling can void your warranty and compromise your brewer’s lifespan․ Refer to the complete manual for detailed instructions and safety guidelines․
Proper descaling guarantees consistently delicious coffee!
Cleaning the Exterior
Maintaining a clean exterior extends the life and appearance of your Keurig Platinum B70․ Regularly wipe down the brewer’s surfaces with a damp, soft cloth․ Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish․
For stubborn stains, a mild dish soap solution can be used, but ensure thorough rinsing with a clean, damp cloth afterward․ Pay attention to the drip tray and K-Cup holder, as these areas accumulate spills and residue․ Remove and wash these components separately with warm, soapy water․
Never immerse the brewer in water or any other liquid․ Ensure the brewer is unplugged before cleaning․ A clean exterior not only looks better but also contributes to a hygienic brewing environment․ Consistent cleaning prevents buildup and maintains optimal performance․
Simple upkeep ensures lasting enjoyment!
Replacing the Water Filter
Maintaining water quality is crucial for optimal brewing․ Your Keurig Platinum B70 utilizes a water filter to remove impurities․ Replace the filter every two months, or after 60 tanks of water, whichever comes first․
To replace, gently pull the old filter from its housing․ Before inserting the new filter, soak it in cold water for five minutes․ This activates the filter’s purification properties․ Align the new filter with the housing and firmly push it into place until it clicks․
After replacing the filter, run a full brewing cycle without a K-Cup to flush the system․ This removes any loose particles․ Regularly replacing the filter ensures consistently fresh and flavorful coffee․ A clean filter also protects your brewer from scale buildup․
Enjoy consistently great-tasting coffee!
