Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee
• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans,
or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more
expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If
buying preground coffee, choose a package with latest expiration
date or a smaller quantity.
• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/medium
grind. This will yield best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly ground
coffee within about a week of grinding.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield
better-tasting coffee than tap water.
• Use approximately 1 tablespoon (5g) of grounds for each cup of
coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds
(3/4 tablespoon [4 g]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.
Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also
cause Filter Brew Basket to overflow.
• Make sure your Coffee Maker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning”
section.
Burn Hazard. The carafe must be replaced within

Troubleshooting – Single-Serve Side
Coffee Maker will not brew/coffee not dispensing.
• Piercing Needle may be clogged. Always remove Gray Removable
Needle Holder. Clean Piercing Needle in Lid of Coffee Maker as
shown on page 9.
• Mineral deposits have formed. Clean Coffee Maker following
directions in Care and Cleaning section.
• Too little water. Need 15 oz. (444 ml) or more.
Coffee tastes bad.
• Too much water was added or too much or too little ground coffee
was added. Change ratio of water to coffee grounds or use less
water with coffee pods.
• Poor coffee quality and freshness.
• Poor water quality. Use filtered or bottled water.
• Soft water causes poor coffee extraction, which leads to poor
tasting coffee. Use filtered, spring, or bottled water.
Coffee sediment in cup.
• Try a coarser grind of coffee, or add a #1 paper cone coffee filter
to Brown Removable Brew Basket. Make sure hinged Lid is closed
on Brown Removable Brew Basket.
Water on counter under unit.
• Overfilled Water Reservoir. Do not add more than 56 oz.
(1.65 l) of water. Some mugs/cups do not pour cleanly and can
dribble water down side of cup and onto counter.
Coffee overflows from travel mug or regular mug.
• Press BREW NOW I/ button to manually stop brew cycle. Do not
touch travel mug or regular mug since it will be very hot. Let mug
cool before emptying. Press BREW NOW I/ button to start a new
brewing cycle.
10
Control Panel Notifications:
• CLEAn: Coffee Maker needs to be cleaned. See page 9.
• CLoSE Lid: Coffee Maker Lid is not closed properly. Push Lid down to
lock into place.
• OVEr LOAd: Needle is clogged or Brew Basket is overloaded. Do not
fill Brew Basket above MAX fill line. Always remove Gray Removable
Needle Holder and follow “Clogged Needle” instructions on page 9.
• FIL H2O: Not enough water. Add water to Water Reservoir and press
BREW NOW I/ button to clear Display. Press BREW NOW I/
button to restart resume cycle.
• OVEr: Allow Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes. Make sure there is
water in Water Reservoir. Empty mug, and then press BREW NOW
I/ button to restart brewing cycle.
Coffee overflows from Brew Basket.
• Use Removable Brew Basket with Lid for ground coffee.
• Use a lesser amount of ground coffee. 3 tablespoons (15 g) 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.
• Do no use soft water. Use filtered, spring, or bottled water.
Coffee single-serve pod bursts.
• There is variability in single-serve pod manufacturing process
which causes some types of single-serve pods to be weaker at
seams so foil seal fails. Try a different brand.
• If you are using softened water or live in an area where your tap
water is naturally soft, this can cause single serve pod issues and
filter basket overflows. Use filtered, spring, or bottled water.
Delay Brew feature does not work with Single-Serve side.
• Delay Brew feature is not designed to work with Single-Serve side.
Program mode is for Carafe side only.
Troubleshooting – Carafe Side
Longer than normal brew time.
• Bold brewing cycle takes longer to brew to produce a rich, full
bodied cup of coffee.
• Mineral deposits can build up in pump of your Coffee Maker.
Periodic cleaning of inside of unit is recommended. More frequent
cleaning may be necessary, depending on hardness of your water.
See “Care and Cleaning” section. NOTE: Do not disassemble unit.
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 decaffeinated, flavored, or
finely ground coffee. Or use medium ground coffee.
• Coffee Maker needs cleaning. See Care and Cleaning on page 9.
• Do not use soft water. Use filtered, spring, or bottled water.
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 edges will remain
pressed against sides of Basket.
• Poor-quality paper filter.
Coffee leaks onto base.
• Carafe removed from Warming Plate for more than 20 seconds
during brewing cycle.
Coffee tastes bad.
• Coffee Maker needs cleaning. See Care and Cleaning on page 9.
• 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.
• Soft water causes poor coffee extraction, which leads to poor
tasting coffee. Use filtered, spring or bottle water.
Coffee sediment in cup.
• Use a high-quality, basket-style paper filter.
Coffee not brewing or unit will not turn on.
• Carafe not positioned on Warming Plate.
• Water Reservoir is empty.
• Unit is unplugged.
• Power outage.
• Power surge. Unplug; then plug unit back in.
• Clock requires reset after power outage.
• BREW NOW I/ button was not pressed. Press BREW NOW I/
button.
