Troubleshooting – Carafe Side

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Brew basket overflows or

coffee brews slowly.

• Excessive amounts of ground coffee.

• Decaffeinated and/or coffee ground too finely can cause overflow. Use slightly less grounds when brewing

decafeinated, flavored, or finely ground coffee. Or use medium ground coffee.

• Coffee maker needs cleaning. See Care and Cleaning on page 15.

If using a paper filter:

• Coffee grounds between paper filter and brew basket.

• Paper filter not open and in proper position.

• Rinse brew basket before inserting paper filter so the edges will remain pressed against the sides of the

basket.

• Poor-quality paper filter.

Coffee leaks onto base. • Carafe removed from warming plate for more than 20 seconds during the brewing cycle.

Coffee tastes bad. • Coffee maker needs cleaning. See Care and Cleaning on page 15.

• Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Use medium ground coffee.

• Coffee-to-water ratio unbalanced. Adjust for personal preference.

• Poor coffee quality and freshness.

• Poor water quality. Use filtered or bottled water.
