- Do not lift the handle while brewing: the pod holder is full of very hot water.
- The brewer is ready for another cup about a minute later.
From K-Elite Use & Care Guide: Before You Brew, Brewer Features, Programming, Descaling and Troubleshooting. This is the K-Elite’s pattern; another Keurig machine may use the same light for something else — check the manual for your model.
