Does the KCM222 auto brew work without having to reset everyday? The KCM1402 has to be reset everyday - just spoke with kitchenaid.

You don't have to reset the time, but you do have to reset auto brew to "on" every time.

Never used the auto brew feature, always had grounds ready then added water hit brew.

I reset it every night after preparing my brew for the morning. It only takes pressing the menu button three time and then the brew button until it beeps. No biggie.

Good luck, tried the cleaning with vinegar & water MANY times. The machine still has issues & have complained to Krups. I have had other Krups coffee makers for many years & never been so irritated & disappointed in their product. They have offered for me to send it back, but that will take weeks for them to receive it, diagnose it & basically send me a new one(which is what I requested in the first place). My machine has a real problem. It can't figure out whether to beep or brew or not brew or beep & then brew maybe later. I am just going to trash it & never buy another KRUPS.

Yes, the brewer turns off automatically when the reservoir is empty. I often brew different size cups of coffee. The reservoir holds 8 ounces easily, 13 if you fill it to the rim. So you can brew 13 ounces or less each time. For very large cups, I fill the reservoir, start the brewing and add the rest of the water to the reservoir either before it finishes brewing or allow it to run a second cycle. For very large cups, you can use two pods of coffee. My normal coffee cup is a 16 ounce cup. If I brew 13 ounces of coffee and add some creamer, the cup is full. If you want a stronger cup of coffee, you may want to try the refillable coffee filters (Ecopad) in this machine. Yes, the brewer turns off automatically when the reservoir is empty.

back in the day we always purchased black & decker (under the cabinet) coffee makers. loved them! this was our first mr. coffee model for the countertop. we've been really pleased. we make 3-pots per day on average and clean the machine once a month. even so...we still only get roughly a year from our m.c. models. my mother gets less than a year using a braun coffee maker (3x the $$ of our m.c.) seems a waste of money? best of luck! cheers, ~ tom

Wish I could help. I did buy this coffee machine, but I had to return it as the programming function didn't work. I ended up buying a Cuisinart instead, and I love it.

It does but I don't recall it ever working. Hours after using I would have to manually turn it off. also I would like to add that after writing my review our keurig died. Less than 9 months old. Nothing but problems. Would not recommend this device.

I have no idea, but I'm sure if you called KitchenAid or anybody that carries this coffee maker, they will tell you. Or search on Amazon?

There are detailed instructions in the owner's manual. If you have lost that you can download the info from the internet. Basically you empty the water out of the reservoir, remove the filter, and fill the reservoir with white distilled vinegar and turn the machine on. When it is warmed up you start a brew cycle with no K cup in the machine and continue to run the vinegar through the machine until the "add water" light starts flashing. At that point you let the machine sit for at least 4 hours (overnight preferred) plugged in and turned on (machine must remain hot). If you have set the auto off function you need to turn that off so the machine does not turn off. Next, dump remaining vinegar out of the reservoir and fill it with fresh clean water and run that water through until all the vinegar has been flushed from the machine. Sometimes you have to take a toothpick or a straightened paper clip and gently remove deposits from the nozzle where the water is sprayed into the K cup. Then you are ready to brew coffee until it scales up again. The frequency depends on the quality of your water. We use filtered water to brew coffee and descale on average every six months. Good luck.

Hmmmm....that is odd. Did you accidentally choose a reduced cup brew? I think it has that choice I. Programming, however, I have never used it. I have never had mine brew only 1/2 a pot either.

Sorry I had some outpatient procedure took me a little bit to get back to email. I wanted the Consumer Report recommended KitchenAid Architech Series KHM 920A. I received the KitchenAid KHM 9260 BO. Did this help?

I find that it stops brewing... Then I would remove the grounds...and maybe occasionally it will kind of sound like it's trying to rebrew but actually is just reheating... I personally think you wouldn't want to leave it plug in all day or it would taste old and burnt... Hope this helps!

Yes it does! And it's pretty easy to set up, too. Taken from the "Use and Care Guide:""While holding PROGRAM button, press HOUR and MINUTE buttons until desired brewing time is reached. Once desired brewing time has been reached, release PROGRAM and current time is displayed. Press (and release) PROGRAM again to activate automatic brew."

Make sure you have the grind feature turned off, no water in reservoir, and hit the "on" button. That'll turn it back on. I used to do this with my Krups coffeemaker all the time. It worked!

Hi, Love the machine, great quality, durable and looks good. Use it many times a day. And yes, I can make my own coffee with this machine. I had to do some research beforehand, for only certain types of fill-able kcups work. The one I ended up buying works great: "Solofill K3 GOLD CUP 24K Plated Refillable Filter Cup" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C3828WA/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

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!

I was able to get it working again but unfortunately I was told it is only a temporary fix. I do not recommend this coffee maker. If you must do a keurig machine I recommend buying the cheapest one possible since they all use really crappy parts and are poorly designed.

You would think I would know the answer because I have used the grind and brew model every day for years and years. I don't think I have ever tried to brew with the grinder out of the machine. I clean the grinder and return it to the machine after every use, so if I decide to brew from ground beans - the "clean grinder" just remains in the machine. It brews perfectly whether you turn the grinder on to "grind and brew;" or if you turn the grinder off and put ground beans in the gold basket.
