Troubleshooting – Carafe Side
PROBLEM
Brew basket overflows or coffee brews slowly.
Coffee leaks onto base.
Coffee tastes bad.
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
•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.
•Coffeemaker needs cleaning.
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.
•
•Carafe removed from warming plate for more than 20 seconds during the brewing cycle.
•Coffeemaker needs cleaning.
•Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Use medium ground coffee.
•
•Poor coffee quality and freshness.
•Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).
