Descaling
When your Keurig mini light flashes but does not brew, it is trying to alarm you that your machine needs urgent descaling at that point. Don’t neglect it.

- You have to turn off your Keurig mini coffee machine and unplug it.
- Remove the water reservoir, empty it, and put it aside.
- Put the descaling solution that you have already mixed with water and put it in the machine and run a brewing cycle until the solution is finished.
