Can you winterize a Keurig coffee maker?
Well can you? I turn it upside down but no water comes out. I know there is a bunch in there. Or do I have to leave it home?

I found these instructions on http://www.fixya.com/support/t3381543-drain_keurig_b40_coffee_maker. YMMV (sorry, link builder is not working)
Here is a simple solution:
Pour all the water out of the reservoir and remove the filter if you have one.
Get a large cup for the largest setting you have.
Lie the reservoir on its side and take a piece of tape. A long piece and tape the reservoir up all the way. (DONT PRESS THE TAPE SO HARD THAT YOU CANNOT PULL OFF. JUST TO HOLD UP THE DISK)
Put the reservoir back on the light will stop blinking.
Put a glass underneath the whole and press the larges setting you have. The water will brew. After it is complete the motor pump will continue to try and pull water.
So Turn OFF the Keurig and your internal tank is empty.
Reach in and pull the tape off and you are done.
