Is it normal for the maker to steam profusely while brewing? I have always owned cuisinart and never had this happen.

no it's not. and I refuse to pay for shipping to return it. throw it in the garbage and buy a mr coffee. that's what I did. I'll never buy a Delongi product again.

Not sure about your take on profusely. But yes mine steams as well. Make sure the door is closed all the way. If it's open even 1/8 of an inch it will make a big difference.

I returned mine, I had problems with it . It didn't brew at all. There is a warming session right after brewing due to the stainless is may have to be hotter than a glass carafe. A heating light should stay on to warn you it is still hot to prevent injury. If not send it back and choose another.

I have the same issue. It's coming out of the hole and when I turned it off after a while and ran cold water over the pot, the orange safety thing plopped into my food and most of the liquid was gone. I put the thing back in but I wasn't sure how far it's supposed to be in. I pushed almost all the way (it's housed in a rubber thing under the lid) and partway and either way the steam just comes out of that hole. The instructions don't mention anything about steam coming out of that hole. I've never used a PC before so this is very confusing.

If you just got it, did you run a cycle of just water through before brewing coffee? It not, out if you've had it for a while, I'd get some coffee Brewer cleaner (usually sold near the filters in the store) and follow the instructions on that product to clean it out.

My 4-cup Cuisinart has done the same thing. The coating peeled away little by little exposing the metal plate beneath. I am assuming it's because the factory has set a warming temperature on the plate too high and the thermal coating was not correctly mated. I'd much prefer a stainless warming plate rather than a thermal coated warming plate. Still brews a terrific coffee, but without that coating there is a concern about the warming plate's integrity now. Cuisinart should learn from all these concerns expressed.

There should definitely be hot steam. Are you saying that you get no steam at all? or that the steam is not hot? Did you get a flawed product?

Yes! There is a problem. Seems like a new design and it is not right. Call Cuisinart and get another lid for carafe & a mesh holder, just inc ase there is a problem with that too. They have a 1-800#.It will not work right unless replaced!! somebody's idea of a new design doesn't work!!

When mine did this it usually meant that the container was not snapped into position all the way or the blade was in grind position not steam position, you sometimes have to twist the blade up a bit, after the machine steams it lowers the blade for blending by itself.

Mine never made that pitched noise, and I don't think it is normal. What I would do: exchanging it only. In my opinion, Cuisinart is dependable. ...But even the best one may fail some time, I guess.

Mine does the same thing. I have to keep turning it off and on to get the rest brewed. Have you figured it out yet? It's driving me crazy!

The first one that I got did the same thing, would not brew and I had it replaced. It seems the water is not dropping to the bottom of the resorvoir. When trying to brew a single cup, I would get error messages because of this. Lousy production control is what I think. My replacement is working fine tho.

Sounds like you need to return it. There is some steam but it doesn't affect my coffee. I love the machine by the way. I've started using organic half and half and buying more expensive cafe. I've recently tried/enjoyed espresso from trader Joe's & juan valdez.

The only water I get is when I turn off the steam. The left over steam dumps into the bottom tray. No problems since I bought it 6 months ago. Just have to make sure you clean it and take care. A lot of the problems I've seen people posting could be cured by preventative maintenance.

I have a moderate amount of steam coming from mine at it seems to be working... I've never had one before so I haven't got anything to compare it with. I can only say it seems to do the job intended. hope this helps.

I do not really have that problem. Once every two weeks I run the water through, I add more water if it does not make a full pot.(this replaces the water that evaporates from the heating)..... I have had the coffee maker for a long time and have done this per their recommendations since I bought it. As it heats up the water all the time there is evaporation.

Do you use cold water? Mine has a small amount of steam, but the coffee is still great! Be sure you have it directly on the cup emblem. I don't use the steamer for my creamer. I just use the nuke. Good luck! Try using a dollop of frozen "cool whip" on top. It adds that foamy topping. I also use the full pot of water, so that may be why I have more steam.

It steamed too much twice and I am not sure why. The majority of the time it is fine. It has never saturated the counter just gotten it a little damp in the immediate area of the cooker
