Does anyone have problem with the coffee guage going back to Empty?
2069272
It hardly ever seems to be accurate. Have to keep track of the cups used....totally useless gauge!
2069273
I agree with E Dennis. It's more of an estimate. I have been using mine for over a year and fill the water tank to 6 cups every morning (to make 3 actual mugs of coffee) and the gauge reads full. I use the gauge to take it down in thirds. When I make a full pot the gauge reads full for a couple of draws and then starts to move down.
2069274
Yes. The gauge on our unit was never great but completely stopped working a few months after we purchased it. IMHO this is a product flaw that Cuisinart needs to address in the next gen.
2069275
Mine doesn't show anything but "full", until there is only about a half a cup left in the reservoir. Then it suddenly drops to empty.
2069276
Yes, yes, and yes! The gauge is useless. The first one I had prior to 2011 worked fine. The newer ones don't work at all. I just try to keep track of the cups I pour.
2069277
I don't think it is suppose to be accurate more of an estimation I think before the last cup. I know how much coffee I have by the amount of water I poured in.

I have had my coffee maker about as long as you have. I did not experience any problems with my coffee maker. I think my coffee maker was a very good purchase.

It's a lemon like mine was....return it and get a keurig. The first one I bought didn't brew either so I returned it to Macy's and they sent me another....then, after two months the second one died so I called Macy's and they took it back.....got myself a keurig and haven't had a problem since!

I have had my coffeemaker since April and initially gave it a bad review because of this problem. The answer for me is the positioning of the carafe on the heating plate. If it is not in EXACTLY the right position you will get the overflow of grounds and minimal coffee will flow into the pot. After a while you get a feel for the exact right position, but the machine is very finicky and even now I find myself occasionally missing the spot. Other than that, it is a great coffeemaker.

Just make sure that the coffee holder is snaped down in place before you start the machine. If it does not click in, is not seated properly and will leak. After two years of ownership with no issues it may just be worn out.

I've had that happen also. Sometimes the grind of the coffee isn't fine enough. Sometimes I don't have the filter holder screwed in tight enough. I also make sure the printed side of the filter is facing up as per the directions.Sometimes the evil morning coffee gnome is at work!!! Good luck!

I have not had that problem to date. I have noticed, however, that the only way for me to fill the water tank is somewhat at a slow pour rate so none of the water splashes out and into the body of the coffee maker. Could that possibly be the problem you are experiencing? A side note here...I, too, experience a continual blinking of the 'clean' light even after thoroughly cleaning the unit. I would NOT have purchased this unit except for the ability to fill the water from the front without constantly moving the unit back and forth under the cupboards just to fill the water reservoir. On the whole, I would NOT purchase this unit again...but it was inexpensive and ya get what ya pay for. I have not had that problem to date.

Hello Donald, mine will also occasionally leak as well. When this happens, I have found that the pot was not entirely empty when I made a fresh pot or I filled the water level too high. It will also "spring" a BAD leak if the components (water tank, filter bay and coffee pot itself) are not completely seated in their proper alignments. Check all of these things EACH time you make a pot of coffee and I think you will be as pleased with your coffee maker as I have been. Also, I always make coffee for my guests instead of letting them try to make it themselves! They ALWAYS make it leak! It just takes a little getting used to and being careful each and every time!

This sounds like a defect to me. I would contact Hamilton or see if Amazon can replace the coffee pot. I've never had this problem.

This happened to me several times also.... was very disappointing because I love the coffee! Since then, I close the top of my Keurig carefully and that has seemed to help.

Wow... what kind of coffee do you use? I have never had that problem but I only make enough coffee to drink at the moment. I know the heating plate on the unit keeps the coffee hot, so if the coffee is just sitting there for a long while then the water will evaporates and the coffee will start to get a burnt overcooked taste but it does not get weak. I have not had a problem with my unit and even gave one out as a present... and that one is working fine.

Check the bottom part of the unit where it sits on the counter. Do you still have all four plastic nubs? The back two went missing on mine and I had the same problem with coffee spilling all over the counter. Once I re-leveled the system by replacing the back two rubber pieces, I never had the problem again!

I've had this coffee maker for many months with no problems. If I were you, I wouldn't chance it, just return it or exchange if possible.

Are you using a reusable k-cup? I haven't had that happen with the disposable ones. If the top of the reusable k-cup isn't fully closed (such as if there are coffee grounds along the top rim), then I have had that happen.

mine ended up in the dumpster. I bought a MrCoffee and it has operated just fine.
