Just wanted to update y’all about my mold ingesting fuck up. So first of all, my account got suspended very shortly after I posted the original post so I was unable to respond to comments and couldn’t upvote any. But I did take some of the advice I read. I did use the 50/50 vinegar water solution to try to clean the mold from the machine. I cleaned all the visible parts first and then ran this through the machine until I could no longer smell the vinegar. I left the reservoir empty and open. The next day there was black spots in the reservoir again. My husband thinks I should bleach it, but I honestly don’t think I can use it again. When I get near it I start having flashbacks to when I was very sick.
I have gone back to drinking my daily hot chocolate but now I use my husband’s normal coffee maker to make the hot water to add to it. My throat has returned to normal and my cough is completely gone. There is no doubt in my mind that I got lucky and if I do keep or get another keurig I’m never using a water filter inside it again. I’ll also make sure to empty the reservoir when not in use.
TL;DR: forgot I had a water filter for my keurig for a year and it turned moldy. Drank hot chocolate from it everyday. Got sick. Don’t be an idiot like me.
