This was me - http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/158897.page
I couldn't very well ditch the machine as it was over $200, so I hosed it down, left it in the sun for awhile, bought coffee at Starbucks for a few days, scrubbed every part with hot water and soap, ran vinegar through it . . . and I am mostly over it by now and using it. I still examine it sometimes just to make sure they are not back. |

yea, you should definitely get a new one. you definitely can't just kill the thing and move on. i'm sure you need to spend a couple hundred bucks to deal with this problem.
OR clean it out however the handbook tells you to and know that a bug won't kill you. |

Really? OP - get over it. Clean the coffee pot with hot water & vinegar and move on. |

| It wasn't a roach, just run hot water through. Call the 800 # to Keurig and ask them how to take the pieces apart if you don't know how to do it yourself. |

| and for the record, OP, i'm sure LOTS of bugs have made their way in and out of your nice, warm, moist Keurig. it's a fact of life. i know there are some things you just can't unsee, but come on - it's a part of life. |

I wonder why there was a need to give the brand name of the coffee pot? Never knew folks could be pretentious about coffee makers!!
Not even gonna address the bug issue; stop being absurd! |

Keurig a one of a kind, a type of brewing machine. It's not a brand name per say because there isn't really any other names to call it. It's not a coffee maker, it's a single kcup brew machine. |

I would get rid of the cheap machine and buy myself a Nespresso machine and finally make myself some great lattes.

Ummm . . . I would wash it and carry on as usual. It's a silverfish, not a tarantula!
Where did it crawl in? |

| I would thank my lucky stars for the excuse to get rid of the machine that makes foul-tasting colored water, and go buy myself a real coffee maker. |
