How do I clean the needles on my coffee maker?

For the exit needle, remove the K-Cup pod holder assembly, detach the funnel, and insert a straightened paper clip into the exit needle to loosen any coffee grounds. For the entrance needle, lift the handle and carefully insert a straightened paper clip into all the holes on the underside of the lid, moving it gently to loosen grounds. After cleaning the entrance needle, lower the handle completely and run two cleansing brews without a K-Cup pod. (Page 4)
