Pour a solution of 50% vinegar and 50% water into the machine and brew - this is going to decalcify the coffee maker, and hopefully solve the problem. let me know how it works out.
This is a real problem with these coffee makers, and there's not much that can be done. However, there is a work around: before brewing, just hit the button to brew 1-4 cups. It'll still brew a whole pot, it'll use all the water, the coffee will taste no different, and you can still program it however you'd like. Cheers!

same problem- The thing is 5 years old and suddenly it is leaving 2 cups+ of water in the reservoir when it's done brewing.
Leaves 2-3 cups water in the resevior after brewing. It has a 3 year warranty, they are sending me a new one
I can't believe this - my filter pops out during brewing AND it is no longer using all the water in the resevoir. So much for going with an upscale brand
This is our second machine. Our first one started having that problem after 4 years of moderate use. We just bought another one this past September 08 and it just started having that problem again! We use it every day now, more than before, but have only had it for 6 months! We also found that the 1 to 4 cup setting works. We'll see how long it actually keeps working. This is disappointing from Cuisinart. We ran our newer coffee maker with CLR to clean it out and ran clean water through many times, but still had the problem. We did try the vinegar with the old machine, but that did not work. Old machine actually didn't work even when restarted, so we definitely had to get a new one.
my pot does the same. it shuts down after a few cups of water has passed through it. it takes 5 cycles turning in on to brew a full pot.talk about junk!
PS: We cleaned out the coffee maker with the vinegar and water a couple times this week and it didn't work.
