Introduction:
The Keurig coffee maker has made life easier for many coffee lovers by simplifying the
coffee brewing process. Because of its long-term cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and
quickness to use in the comfort of your own home, the Keurig machine has become a
very popular household item.
The objective of this manual is to cover that brewing process in-depth to make it as easy
and quick as possible to get that morning cup of Joe in your hands. Don’t worry if you’re
a coffee novice. Included in this manual are key terminology, technical descriptions,
step-by-step instructions, and solutions to commonly asked troubleshooting questions.
We’ll walk you through everything; you’ll be a barista in no time!
While a lot of what is being mentioned will also apply to other Keurig models, this
manual is specifically intended for the Keurig K-Classic machine. Everything covered in
the manual is included within the Keurig packaging besides the K-Cup pods, which you
will have to purchase yourself.
Key Terms:
A. Keurig: Keurig machines brew a variety of hot beverages including coffee,
tea, hot chocolate, etc. (from Den Garden)
B. K-Cup pods: ground coffee contained inside a plastic cup
C. Brewing: extracting the roasted and ground coffee (using the Keurig
machine is one of many ways to do this) (from Perfect Daily Grind)
D. Water reservoir: the Keurig plastic water tank where the water is stored
E. Caffeinated: containing caffeine
F. Decaffeinated: not containing caffeine
Technical Description:
According to Keurig, the Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker dimensions are 13.0” H x 9.8”
W x 13.3” D. It is offered in two colors, black or rhubarb. The coffee maker is made out
of plastic and weighs 9 pounds total. The main components of the Keurig K-Classic are
its water reservoir, drip tray, status features, and k-cup pod sizes.
Water reservoir

The water reservoir is 48 ounces and is on the left side of the machine. The large size of
the water reservoir is ideal for the end-user as they can brew 6+ cups of coffee before
having to refill it (keurig.com). The reservoir is clear so you can easily see the water level
and get an idea of how long you have before having to refill. If it does need to be refilled,
you can easily remove the lid, refill the water, and place the lid back on.
Drip tray

There is a drip tray that you place your coffee mug on top of in order to catch the spills
to prevent making a mess. However, the drip tray can also be removed if you need to fit
a larger mug in there.
Status features

On the right side of the Keurig are features to update you on the status of your keurig
machine. If it lights up, that means that respective feature is currently active or action
needs to be taken. The features included are:
- Add water: water reservoir levels are too low and water needs to be added
- Descale: brewer needs to be cleaned
- Heating: water is being heated to optimal temperature of 192 degrees
(keurig.com)
- Auto off: Conserves energy by automatically turning off if Keurig has been idle for
2 hours
- Power: Indicates whether Keurig is turned on/off
K-cup pod sizes

The Keurig machine can brew cup sizes of 6, 8, or 10oz. The same amount of beans are
used for each size, meaning a 6oz coffee would brew the strongest cup.
Instructions/Procedure:
1. Plug in the power chord to get started.
2. Once plugged in, turn on the machine with the power button. If extra water is
needed, the ‘add water’ label on the top will light up blue.
3. This is the water reservoir where water will be added. Simply remove the lid.
4a. Don’t pass the max fill line in the water reservoir when adding water.
