Have you tried brewing with no k-cup in the unit? If water comes out then the needle that punctures the bottom of the kcup needs to be cleared out. I use a paper clip and put it into the kcup holder where the puncture needle is. I move it up and down the hole until cleared out.
If the spray head is clean and clear and you have run the spring the the brew tube till you can push it almost all the way in (leaving only 1/4") then it should not have issues.
If it does run some water throught you can try to de-calcify the coffee maker by running a cup of CLR (brand name) through the cycle a couple of times. This will clear most of the water mineral deposits that often clog the coffee making system. After the CLR treatment, run clean water through the system at least twice to clear any remaining CLR. Hopefully this will allow you to enjoy coffee again.
You should clean the coffee maker at least every 30-45 brewing cycles depending upon the hardness of your local water. Regular cleaning by running a cup of white vinegar should work with the more aggressive CLR treatment if you have very hard water.
Hope this clear the problem. Thanks.
2 cups white vinegar in reservoir, run full cycle, let cool, discard vinegar. Fill reservoir with cold water, run full cycle, discard water, let cool. Repeat clear water cycle.
Hello, After many years in the coffee game there are only 3 possible reasons for this, either the water is not heating, this would cause the water to not extract the coffee from the grounds. Or your filter is folding over and the water is running down past the filter....Lastly and the most probable is the spay head is blocked and the water is coming out the over flow if there is one, which is then bypassing the filter. Things to check would be heat, spray head and filter. Hope this helps...Mike
Cleaning scale from coffee maker DO NOT USE THAT MUCH VINEGAR!
Put a tiny bit of vinegar in the carafe and fill carafe the rest of the
way with water. Run that vinegar/water through machine. Using another
container, fill machine with plain water and run that through. Repeat
until the vinegar taste is gone. If you do not run lots of plain water
through the machine after, your coffee will taste
like...um...disgusting!
**************
To clean hard water deposits from a
coffeemaker use distilled white vinager. You may need to use as much as
a gallon if the scale buildup is really bad. Fill clean coffee pot
one half full of vinager and run through machine as if making
coffee. Repeat this process several times using fresh vinager until it
comes out clear. Do this once a week and your maker will work much
better.
