why doesn't the auto grinder stop dispensing?

It should. The light needs to be on the correct filter size you are using, then press the group handle in just once, and it will dispense the correct amount of grinds you have it set for. You'll find the setting for the amount (if you're using a dual filter, put it in the middle of the dual filter mark) just to the left of the filter size button. If you want to dispense your own amount, simply push and hold the group handle in until the desired amount is in your filter. Hope that helps!

If for some reason it does not stop, simply push the holder in (just like you do to start the grinding process) and it will stop dispensing.

maybe you need to adjust the grind time. if it doesn't stop when set to the minimum, something is broken. or put in the double shot cup and set it to single shot grind volume.

Are you pushing the pod handle in manually or just pushing it in for a second to activate the grinder? You may have a defective unit. Also, check the filter size you have selected like the other commenter mentioned.

I have noted the grind settings are not perfect. I keep a small bowl to catch the extra grinds. I also set mine to give me slightly less than I need, then I manually top it off.

Ours did the same thing. My husband had to re-vamp the grinder as it was rubbing. Our first time using it was a total mess too. We thought about returning it but my husband fixed it somehow but I could not tell you for sure what he did. He is a machine designer so he could see what the problem was.....

Hi mark. Without knowing " how fast is enough" for what you are doing, I would hazard a guess that there is a problem with your grinder. They should have a max rotation of about 10,000 rpm max.

Have you removed the bean hopper and then cleaned out the grinder and chute with your brushes? Sometimes you have to dig at the chute to get it fully cleaned out. If it's plugged though, it won't grind. Hope this helps :-). Cuisenart customer service certainly doesn't.

I have the same problem with mine. The pentagon hole in the crank handle is slightly too big and/or the metal that the pentagon shaft is made out of is too soft. When you turn the crank, it slips forward on the shaft causing the handle to get stuck and slowly stripping the shaft until the grinder is no longer useable. It took about 3 months in my case.

I am not sure, there is must be something wrong with your machine. My coffee is still warn the next morning if we didn't finish the pot from the morning before. It's always got when I make it, so you may want to want to send it back for replacement

Same story, I've gotten multiple counters out of one set. The switch on my grinder went out pretty quick though. Always wants to spring off of lock mode.

the black cap on the bottom (recessed into the body of the grinder) twists and pulls out. Make sure that each battery is in the position indicated. New batteries last us at least a year with frequent use.

It does not stop automatically. The lever on the top front has three settings: in the middle is off, to the left is steam, to the right is brew. You need to physically move the lever back to the center in order to stop the brew process.

Mine did at first but with regular care it has gone away. Took a while though. Besides that I am completely satisfied with this quality grinder.

I have refilled mine but its not a refillable grinder, top snaps off with some force

I have had mine for almost 5 years, use it on average of twice a day and it works just fine, the only thing I can think of is the grinder mechanism is getting dull. I believe it can be replaced.

The Porter Cable PC60TAG Grinder is on or off; not variable speed. You can lock it on for continuous operation.

I am having the same problem. I adjusted my grinder to a coarse setting but I still get the sludge.

You have to hold the button down, but using the settings, it will automatically stop grinding after a certain amount of time, so that you can get the SAME amount/duration of grind every time you use it.
