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.

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.

Remove single-serve pack and replace brew basket. Repeat brewing cycle.

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.
