Our Curtis Alpha coffee maker has not been used in a while. After running water through resevoir to ensure the tanks were full we brewed a pot. Coffee came out very light and cold. What should the next step be? Should we just brew a new pot now that it has cycled? How should we use?

You should find a solution here. Best wishes

shut the pot off and restart . when the ready to brew light start blinking push your desired cup size button

Clean water level sensor with vinegar

The brewer has not had enough time to reach its operating temp (usually 7 mins after a brew cycle). If that is not hte case then the machine needs to be descaled.

Unless the brew level comes up short while brewing.

You may not have enough water in the tank.
Follow these steps

1. With the coffee pot unplugged, fill your resevoir/tank until water begins pouring out of your sprayhead and brew basket.
2. Wait for the water to finish dripping then plug in your Bunn.
3. Let your Bunn warm up for at least 8 minutes.
4. Run a test cycle with clean water, remembering to use the water pitcher provided for this purpose, while leaving your empty pot on the burner beneath the brew basket.
5. If your cycle completed, and your coffee pot is filled to the desired level you are ready to make coffee.

Remember that these Bunn models have no water filter installed, so, the cleaner the water the better tasting the coffee.

hi..
the model may have a digital timer that is accessed using the panel swithes get the number for wilbur curtis from thier web site they will talk you through it {simple} the other style timer is a potentiometer type... To adjust first unplug brewer, look behind either the front panel or top cover for a dial with numbers around it. turn the dial down slightly brew a pot of water see where the water level comes keep turning down till desired level is reached...

thank u

This coffee maker uses a resevoir tank system - the water you pour in pushes out water that is already heated - the water you pour in won't actually be used for that pot of coffee! For that reason you should only use full pitchers when filling. You may need to cycle through 2 or 3 fillings before the input matches the output once more. The capacity of the resevoir is about 3 pitchers; you can brew 2 pots in a row before the machine needs a break to bring the resevoir back up to temperature.

The first time you use the machine you need to make sure it is full of water - before you plug it in and turn it on. Put an empty coffee pot under the brew basket and fill another empty pot with clean cold water.

Pour the water into the coffee maker. If water comes out then you can plug it in and turn it on. The water heating tank holds about 2-1/2 pots of water so if your machine is empty you will need to keep adding water before you turn it on otherwise you may burn up the heating element.

After the green light comes on - indicating that the tank is hot you can brew a pot of coffee. This machine is meant to be left on all of the time so it is always ready to brew. If you choose to turn it off when not in use, you will need to give it about 10 minutes to fully heat up the water before you brew.
