How does this clean the interior tubing inside the backside of the Keurig? That’s really where the bacteria grows!?

I’ve used Keurig brewers for 6+ years (on my 4th brewer). Learned my lesson not to use regular tap water on my 1st one. Gave my other 2 away as I moved up to a better featured brewer. I only use filtered water from my frig and rigorously clean my brewer with Keurig’s descaling solution or just plain vinegar every 3 months, plus change the water filter. Never had a problem. Any removable part can go into dishwasher.

How often should this product be used?

Use vinegar. There IS bacteria in the inside of coffee makers like this, that we can NOT reach. I use plain vinegar, and lots of it, but--------sadly, i must have waited too long between cleaning. NOw i have to throw the Keurig away. There is No Way to get the sliime out of the inner workings of a Keurig. See, I have just learned the hard way, that IF i run one(1) cup of water through my Keurig, it comes out clean. Great, right?--------------- BUT if i flush the Keurig, with cup after cup after cup and cup? Tiny bits of slime begin to come out. I think, there is now a lining of slime on the INNER parts of my Keurig, and when i vigorously flush it, back to back to back to back? THEN the edges of this slime coating begin to loosen and come out. Again, if i run just one cup of water through the Keurig? it "seems" clean. But try this------run vinegar through your keurig and then------------run cup after cup after cup of plain water back to back to back, cup after cup, repeatedly, and LOOK at what gets loosened and begins to come out. YUCK. I think we all have to use vinegar REGULARLY and often -------and just throw out these coffee makers every 6 months? every 3 months? i do not know for sure yet, how long it takes to get that slime built up inside of a Keurig.... BUt going forward? i am leaving the lid open and all pieces open all day and night, to help "Dry" it out to reduce slime build up. and I WILL surely be flushing it regularly with cup after cup after cup after cup of clear water to observe if that slime is Back again on my new keurig. I want to see How LOng it takes to build up inside of my brand new keurig..... but, yeah, this product does NOTHING to kill germs. NOthing.

What is the cleaning agent in these?

Presumably an acid to liquidize the built up calcium deposits from most sources of drinking water.

Is this compatible with the Keurig K elite single serve?

Yes, I’ve used them in mine with no problem. I run the water through the Keurig Cleaning pods twice and then brew a couple of cups of plain water.

Easy to use and effective

Initially my Keurig 2.0 would not recognize the pods. After multiple attempts it finally worked. I'm not sure what the issue was. These pods are a lot easier than using vinegar to clean the brewer. They appeared to work well. There was no after taste. I glad I bought them.

Great little product!

Does the job and does it well! Cleaning power was perfect. I was surprised by how tan the color was on the first run-through. After using the pod once you'll want to run plain water through it again to flush it but I did it twice till I got nothing but clear water. Very pleased and will be buying again. I never noticed any odor which is nice bc I hate the smell of vinegar which is usually what other people use. My coffee tastes great now as I hadn't cleaned mine in over a year, so I'm happy I ran across these!

A must for a great cup of coffee ☕️

Since using quick + clean i haven't had a problem with grounds in my coffee. I use a quick + clean every other week. Having a clean coffee maker also assures that my coffee stayed rich and robust. QUICK + CLEAN is simple to use and I'll keep purchasing it. My sincere thanks for a great product.

Great product!! I just used this cleaning pod today, it worked just like it said. I installed the cleaning cup ran, brown water came out then I ran again and it was clear. I will definitely keep this as a staple item in my home.

The Keurig K-Cup cleaner cups cleaned our Keurig coffee maker pod holder. To test, I first ran plain water through maker and the water was not bad. Then I put the cleaner cup in and followed the instructions. Wow! the water in the cup was brown and the cleaner cup did clean the needle and the pod holder. The cleaner cups worked very well. I have recommended this product to friends.
