Troubleshooting

Coffee maker will not brew/coffee not dispensing

• The piercing needle may be clogged. Always remove gray removable needle holder. Clean piercing needle in lid of coffee maker as shown on page 6.
• Mineral deposits have formed. Clean coffee maker following directions in Care and Cleaning section.
• Too little water. Need 6 oz. (177 ml) or more.

Coffee tastes bad

• Too much water was added or too much or too little ground coffee was added. Change amount of water to coffee grounds or use less water with coffee packs.
• Poor coffee quality and freshness.
• Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).

Coffee sediment in cup

• Try a more coarsely ground coffee or add a #1 paper cone coffee filter to brew basket. Make sure hinged lid is closed on removable brew basket.

Water on counter under unit

• Overfilled water reservoir. Do not add more than 14 ounces (414 ml) of water. 
• Some mugs/cups do not pour cleanly and can dribble water down side of cup and onto counter.

Coffee overflows from brew basket

• Use removable brew basket with lid for ground coffee.
• Use a lesser amount of ground coffee. 3 tablespoons (44 ml) is maximum amount of grounds to brew.
• When using whole bean coffee, a standard automatic drip coffee grind will yield best results. Be careful not to overgrind, since very finely ground coffee can cause overflow.
• Black seal around needle in removable needle holder is missing. Carefully place seal around needle and push until in place.

Coffee overflows from mug or travel mug

• To prevent coffee overflowing from a mug/travel mug, use same mug/travel mug to brew into that was used to fill water reservoir. 
• Do not add more than 14 ounces (414 ml) of water. There may also be additional water in system that is causing overflow.
•  Remove brew basket or single-serve pack holder. Press and hold  BREW REG or BREW BOLD button to remove any remaining water.

Water remaining in reservoir

• Added too much or too little water. Place cup or travel mug on drip tray. 
• Remove single-serve pack and replace brew basket. Repeat brewing cycle. 
• Press and hold BREW REG or BREW BOLD button to remove any remaining water.

Coffee single-serve pack bursts

• There is variability in single-serve pack manufacturing process which causes some types of single-serve packs to be weaker at seams so foil seal fails.
• Try a different brand.

Brew indicator light flashes:

• 2 times: Coffee maker needs to be cleaned. 
• 3 times: Coffee maker lid is not closed properly. Push lid down to lock into place.
• 7 times: Coffee maker needs to be cleaned. 
• 8 times: Needle is clogged. Always remove gray removable needle holder and follow “Clogged Needle”.
