I use vinegar and water. Most white vinegar is only 5% acid so there is literally no way it can hurt anything. I have never heard of a legitimate reason for not using any concentration of vinegar. Descaler works better though if you have some available. I think lemon juice is a stronger acid than vinegar so if vinegar can hurt a coffee machine, the coffee machine is of very poor construction.

∙ 11y agoYes, I use apple cider vinegar frequently to descale my Viking. The leftover taste is a bit more difficult to remove than with white vinegar, but an extra tank of water run through usually does the trick. The mechanics of the Keurig and most other coffee makers are all the same: water tank, heating element, heating pipes/hoses, etc. The obvious difference being the small containers that the coffee is held in, but everything that would make a difference, is still the same in your machine. The usual methods will work just fine.
