While electronics have made our lives much easier due to modernity, even a slight mistake can lead to significant damage. For example, your children may get a deep shock if they accidentally plug it in with wet hands or if a slight mistake during brewing causes water to splash on the brewer. So it could be a considerable risk for you and your brewer.
Similarly, there are many other pitfalls that you may face, but don’t panic; just quickly read the precautions given below carefully and be safe from such traps. Click the link below to read the Keurig B–77 precautions.
Keurig B–77 Precautions
Note 1: You can get injured by putting your fingers in the K–Cup Pod Assembly because two Sharp needles puncture the K–Cup portion pack. One arrow is above the K–Cup Holder; the second can be found at the very bottom of the K-Cup Holder. So be careful.
Note 2: Never try to lift the Handle or open the K–Cup Assembly Housing during brewing because boiling water in the K–Cup Holder can burn your hands, or you may be injured. So avoid this risk.
Warning: Your brewer contains certain chemicals, including lead, which in California is known to cause Birth Defects, Cancer, and other Reproductive Harm. Besides this, please don’t remove the bottom cover because it can cause Fire and electric shock. Repair of your brewer should be done by authorized service personnel only because No user Serviceable parts are inside.

Now it’s time to open your Keurig B–77 package. Inside, you’ll find essential items that you will need to operate the coffee machine. Please carefully examine the package and make sure you have everything. If something is not there, make sure to ask for a replacement. Let’s see what’s inside together.
The most important thing you receive is your Keurig B–77. With this machine, you can enjoy tasty coffee whenever you like.
Included with your Keurig B–77 is a user manual containing comprehensive operating instructions that will assist you in effectively using your machine by providing accurate guidance.
Here is a complimentary pack of K-Cups, including six cups, each containing a unique flavor. You can enjoy these flavors without purchasing additional K-Cups for your first brew.

You have a Keurig B–77 in your hand. I know you are having trouble with how you will unpack it or not get any friction. Don’t panic but read the below points carefully and unbox them calmly.
Note: Sometimes, future product shipping is necessary; you don’t lose the packaging material and save all the packaging material.
Warning: Keep all plastic bags out of reach of children.
It is essential to understand the machine’s different parts and functions during the brewing process. Familiarizing yourself with each component’s role will enable you to make a better cup of coffee. Let’s examine the different components of your Keurig B-77 coffee machine in simpler terms and how they work together to brew your first cup of coffee.
The water reservoir lid is the cover that goes on top of the reservoir to keep the water inside safe and prevent it from spilling. You need to clean the reservoir or refill it with water.
The water reservoir in the Keurig B-77 is a removable container that holds up to 72 ounces of water. It’s at the back of the coffee maker and can easily be removed for cleaning or refilling. The water reservoir in the Keurig B-77 can be removed when it needs to be refilled, fill it with water, and then return to its place on the coffee maker.
The water reservoir lock tab slot in the Keurig B-77 refers to a small opening or indentation on the back of the water reservoir that corresponds to a locking tab on the coffee maker’s base.
When the reservoir is appropriately positioned on the base, the locking tab will slide into the slot, securing the reservoir and allowing water to flow into the machine. If the tab is not aligned correctly with the slot, the reservoir will not lock into place, and the Brewer will not operate.
The Keurig coffee brewer handle is the part you use to open and close the brewing chamber. It is an essential component that ensures the K-Cup is securely held during brewing.
Lift the handle to access the brewing chamber and insert a K-Cup. Once the K-Cup is in place, lower the handle to close the brewing chamber. The handle on a Keurig is typically made of plastic.
The funnel in the Keurig B-77 is part of the Brewer that directs the water flow from the reservoir into the K-Cup. Maintaining a clean funnel is essential for ensuring a smooth water flow and proper brewing of coffee.
The K-cup portion pack holder is part of the Brewer that holds the K-cups and punctures them to allow hot water to flow through and brew the coffee. K–Cup portion Pack is a small, plastic, removable piece that sits inside the brewing chamber of the Keurig B-77. When a K-cup is placed in the holder and the brewing cycle is initiated, the holder punctures the foil lid of the K-cup and guides hot water through the grounds to brew a cup of coffee.
The lid, which covers the K-Cup Pack holder, is located at the top of the K–Cup holder assembly. You can lift the top using the provided handle to access the holder.
The K-cup portion pack assembly in the Keurig B-77 is part of the coffee maker holding the K-cup portion pack holder in place. It sits at the bottom of the brewing chamber and has a circular opening in the center where the portion pack holder fits snugly. When you close the lid of your Keurig B-77 and press the brew button, the assembly housing is responsible for guiding the hot water from the water reservoir through the K-cup and into your coffee mug.
In your Keurig B-77 coffee maker, housing refers to the outer shell or casing of the machine. It is the part that encloses and protects the internal components of your coffee maker.
The drip tray plate is a component of the drip tray assembly in your Keurig B-77 coffee maker. It is a small, flat plastic piece that sits on the drip tray and directs any drips or spills toward the center of the tray. The drip tray plate has a sieve-like structure.
In your Keurig B-77, there is a plastic tray at the bottom, the drip tray. It is specifically designed to store a liquid that might accidentally drip or spill while brewing coffee. This tray is easily removable, so you can clean it easily.
The drip tray base is the lower portion of the drip tray assembly in your Keurig B-77. It is a larger plastic piece that serves as the drip tray’s foundation and supports tall mugs.
The vent is a small opening located at the top of your coffee machine. It allows heat to flow out of the coffee maker to prevent overheating during brewing, which is necessary to prevent pressure buildup and ensure proper brewing.
The primary electrical cable used to connect a machine to a power source to activate it is commonly called the “power cord.”
The switch is located on the rear right side of your Keurig B–77. The power switch turns the coffee maker on and off, and it controls the flow of electricity from the power source to the machine. When the power switch is activated, the coffee maker begins to heat the water and prepare the coffee maker for use. When the switch is turned off, the coffee maker stops heating and returns to standby mode.
The LCD control center in Keurig B-77 is a feature that shows all the options and activities. On the machine’s front side, you’ll find an LCD control centre equipped with multiple buttons, enabling you to modify the brew temperature, brew size, and coffee strength.
The left button is typically used to control your coffee’s brew size or water volume. By pressing the left button, you can cycle through different brew size options, such as 4 oz, 6 oz, 8 oz, and 10 oz. Besides brew sizes, it is also used to navigate different options.
The Right button on your Keurig B-77 serves as a navigation control, allowing you to scroll through menu options or adjust settings with a single press. It provides a convenient way to navigate and make selections on the Keurig B–77 display panel.
The menu button is used to access different menu options and settings. You can access settings such as auto-off, clock, and language preferences by pressing the menu button.
To initiate the brewing process, the brew button is pressed. After choosing your preferred brew size and temperature, press the brew button to initiate the coffee-making procedure.
You may wonder if your Keurig B–77 has all the qualities to match your routine.
If you had these thoughts in mind, rejoice because this Brewer’s functions suit your daily lifestyle. Apart from that, the basic things that enhance your coffee taste explanation of each point are given below. Read it keenly.
You want your coffee, tea, and hot cocoa to be freshly brewed and delicious. So for that, keep the Brewer turned on.
But if you want it to turn on and off according to your schedule automatically, you can set it exactly to your purpose because it is fully programmable.
Or, if you prefer that your Brewer turn off automatically after some time, read the simple Auto On/off instructions below in this guide to make your brewing process easier.
Water quality profoundly affects the taste of your coffee, and it varies from place to place. Sometimes when you don’t get the taste of your coffee as desired, for example, it starts to taste like minerals or chlorine. So, you should be careful about the quality of your water. Instead, I suggest always using bottled or filtered water so that the taste of your coffee does not deteriorate.
It is the wish of every user that his coffee maker should perform the process of brewing according to his mood, and it is evident that you also want the same. Your Keurig brewer offers a wide array of choices to tailor your beverage to your liking, allowing you to adjust the size, flavor, and brewing process according to your preferences. Because the Keurig B-77 has 200 varieties of K–cups and four brew sizes.
Note: Remember that the smaller your brew size, the more intense flavor will be in your cup. Similarly, the larger the brew size, the less bitter your cup tastes.
Sometimes your Brewer stops functioning correctly; one of the main reasons is that your electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, and the current does not reach the Brewer properly. Therefore, you should operate the Brewer separately from other devices on its electrical circuit.
The process of brewing using a travel mug is easy to follow. First, take out the drip tray assembly and then position the travel mug onto the base of the drip tray. Now, you can savor your freshly brewed beverage straight from your travel mug.
Descale your Brewer Regularly
The Brewer needs descaling every three months to keep it working correctly. The descaling method is described below in this guide, “How Will You Descale Your Brewer?” you can refer to it.
I know you are impatiently waiting to brew your first cup, but you must wait a little longer. Because setting up your Keurig brewer remains to be done. So you must set up your Brewer first. The procedure is described below, but kindly read the important note before proceeding.
Note: If your Brewer has been exposed to temperatures below freezing, leave it to room temperature for at least 2 hours before brewing. A frozen or excessively cold brewer will not work.
Let’s dive into Keurig B-77 priming instructions!
Note: During the heating process and subsequent brews, It is typical to notice small amounts of water flowing out of the vent and trickling into the Reservoir.
Now the setup process is complete, so without any further delay, brew your first cup. See the below points to Brew your delicious first cup. Let’s dive into the first brewing instructions!
Note: Please refrain from removing the foil lid or puncturing the K-Cup. Doing so may cause hot water and coffee grounds to escape and could result in injury or damage to the coffee maker.
Note: It is crucial to acknowledge that two pointed needles exist that perforate the K-Cup, with one located above the K-Cup holder and the other at the bottom of the same holder. Please exercise caution and avoid placing your fingers or other objects inside the K-Cup assembly housing to prevent potential injuries. Always make sure that the K-Cup is appropriately inserted into the holder before starting the brewing process.
Caution: There will be hot water in the K-Cup Holder while the brewing process is underway. Therefore, to prevent any potential risk of injury, you are strongly advised to refrain from lifting the handle or opening the K-Cup Assembly Housing while the brewing process is ongoing.
To stop the brewing process after it has started, press and release the Power Switch, which will turn the Brewer off. This process will immediately halt the coffee, tea, or hot cocoa flow, and the heating element will shut off. Additionally, the blue lights that indicate the status of the LCD Control Center and Water Reservoir will disappear.
Important Note:
Understanding that ending the brewing process prematurely may result in a smaller quantity of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa in your cup than intended. To prevent this, conducting a cleansing brew using only water after stopping the brewing process is advisable. This practice guarantees that your subsequent brew will provide the desired full volume.
If the water level in your Brewer’s tank is low or the Water Reservoir has been removed, the LCD Control Center will notify you by displaying the message “ADD WATER” (shown in Figure 9). In addition, the blue light in the Water Reservoir will blink to indicate that water needs to be added. The Brewer is designed to prevent brewing when the “ADD WATER” message is displayed (Figure 9).
There are two methods for filling the Water Reservoir:
Important: The Water Reservoir should be kept while the Brewer is in the process of brewing.
The Brewer can dispense hot water for various purposes, such as making hot cocoa from a packet, cooking, or making soups. To do so, follow the manual’s “Brew Your First Cup” instructions but without inserting a K-Cup.
Important Note: Running a hot water brew cycle without a K-Cup after brewing a hot cocoa K-Cup is advisable. It helps ensure that any residual cocoa residue is thoroughly flushed out of the system, preventing it from affecting the taste or quality of subsequent hot water dispensed by the Brewer.
To maintain your Brewer’s optimal performance, removing any stagnant water from the inner tank is recommended if the machine has been unused for more than a week.
Note: If you encounter difficulties with your Brewer, please contact our Customer Service team by dialing 1.866.901.BREW (2739).
In your Keurig B–77, controls are the buttons and switches that allow you to operate the Brewer and customize the brewing process according to your preferences. It includes on/off switches, programmable timers, brew-strength selectors, and temperature controls. Control indicators work together to provide you with a way to customize the brewing process and monitor the machine’s status as it brews your coffee. Let’s scroll down to learn about the controls and indicators!
If you plan on utilizing the Auto On/Off Time programming feature, it is essential to set the clock beforehand, as this feature requires accurate time settings to function correctly. However, setting the clock is optional if you do not intend to use this feature, although the time will not be displayed on the LCD Control Center if it is not set.
The Brewer offers three modes for brewing gourmet coffee, tea, or hot cocoa at your convenience. By programming the Brewer to turn on automatically each morning, you can avoid the hassle of waiting for it to warm up before brewing a delicious cup of coffee. It typically takes about 4 minutes for the Brewer to reach the optimal temperature for brewing from room temperature. Kindly read the programming features below.
The Brewer is designed to be left on continuously so that it is always prepared to brew a fresh cup of gourmet coffee, tea, or hot cocoa whenever you desire. Suppose you want to turn off the Brewer, press and release the Power Switch. However, please note that although the clock may remain on, you cannot brew a cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa when the Brewer is turned off. To restore power to the Brewer, press and re-release the Power Switch. Remember to wait for the water to heat up again before the Brewer is ready to brew another cup.
Example!
Suppose you set the “On Time” to 6:55 AM and the “Off Time” to 10:00 PM. During this period, the Brewer will maintain hot water in the tank and remain in a “READY TO BREW” state so that you can quickly brew your coffee anytime within this time frame. If you wish to make coffee outside this preset window, press the Power Button and wait for the water to heat up. You can start brewing once the “READY TO BREW” indicator is displayed on the LCD Control Center.
Important Note
It is important to note that the “On Time” and “Off Time” functions work separately and can be canceled independently. To disable these functions, use the “H” and “M” Buttons to advance to midnight, and the Control Center will display “OFF,” indicating that the function is disabled (fig. 15).
Furthermore, the “Auto Off Timer” and “On/Off Time” programming options can be used independently or together. For instance, you can set the “On Time” function to turn on the Brewer at 7:00 AM and then program the “Auto Off Timer” function to turn off the Brewer two hours after the last brew.
By default, the Brewer is set to brew the Small Mug size (7.25 oz.). It is done to simplify the brewing process for users who frequently choose this size. However, if you prefer a different brew size, you can change the default setting as follows:
“Your coffee maker needs regular cleaning”.
I know very well that your daily routine is very tough. But when you can take time out of your schedule to brew coffee, why not clean the Brewer? So it would be best to clean your Brewer regularly; how to clean it is explained below.
I recommend cleaning your Brewer’s external Parts regularly to maintain your Brewer’s performance. Follow the given points below.
I know you are looking for the procedure to clean your Brewer’s K–Cup Holder Assembly; see below.
Important Note: You should use low-temperature cycles in the dishwasher.
Cleaning the funnel is as necessary as your coffee taste. For cleaning the funnel,
you can remove it from the K– cup holder.
To remove it, Pull on it until it pops off.
Snap it back onto the K–Cup Holder Assembly to replace it.
Note: It is dishwasher safe.
The exit needle is located under the K-Cup holder assembly. A clog occurs due to coffee grinds which can spoil your coffee taste but doesn’t worry. It can be removed with a paper clip or a similar tool. Remove the K-Cup holder assembly and detach the funnel. Insert a paperclip clip in the needle to loosen the clamp and push it out.
Note: The K-Cup Holder is dishwasher safe.
CAUTION: K–Cup Holder Assembly has sharp needles that puncture the K–Cup above the K–Cup holder and in the bottom of the K–Cup Holder. So you should take care of your fingers by putting them inside the K–Cup Holder Assembly Housing because it is so much risk of injury.
The simple do not put your fingers inside it.
Regular maintenance of your Brewer’s water reservoir and lid is crucial. To ensure their cleanliness, it is essential to follow these guidelines:
Note: After cleaning the water reservoir, please rinse it entirely with the freshwater because sometimes cleaners or cleaning solutions remain in this area, which may contaminate the water supply. So ensure that your Water Reservoir is completely Clean and neat.
Descaling is the method used to eliminate mineral deposits like calcium and lime buildup from the internal parts of a Keurig B-77 machine. With time, these deposits can obstruct the machine’s internal components and impact the performance, taste, and quality of the coffee it brews. Descaling involves utilizing a descaling solution and eliminating the mineral buildup from the machine’s internal components. The frequency of descaling depends on the frequency of usage and the hardness of the water in your location. Keurig recommends descaling your Brewer every three to six months to maintain optimal performance. Keurig Brewer has a feature that can detect if a buildup of scale is affecting its performance. When this happens, a ” DESCALE ” message will appear on the control center’s LCD screen. However, even if you don’t see this message, it’s still recommended that you descale your Brewer every 3-6 months to keep it functioning correctly.
Important Note!
If you see the message “DESCALE” on the LCD Control Center of your Brewer, you must take prompt action to descale it. Ignoring this message could lead to a scale buildup that may eventually cause damage to your Brewer. Although your Brewer may continue to function, failure to descale could result in serious injury, indicated by the blinking of the “DESCALE” message. Therefore, following the descaling procedure as soon as possible is crucial to prevent any potential harm to your Brewer.
Follow the following procedure to Descale your Keurig B–77.
Note: if you see the message “DESCALE” still being displayed on the LCD Control Center even after finishing the descaling process described earlier, you will have most of the same descaling procedure.
