The idea is to allow the brewer to pump water from the inner tank until it\u2019s empty. So, with the main tank installed, the brewer will continue using water from it.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1671816375784\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How Do I Store My Keurig After Draining?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Keep your Keurig in an upright position in a frost-free environment for the ideal storage.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is your Keurig not performing as well as it used to?
