I can pour water into my coffee maker, but after turning on the power, it doesn't brew any coffee.

We use the timer so that coffee is ready in the morning and have to hit the top left button two times to set it for delay, are you hitting the delay in brewing timer?

Sometimes the sensor thingy that sits atop the glass carafe is not in the right spot. I usually start fresh and make sure all parts are in the right place---that usually does it.

Make sure that your screen shows brew on it. Did you remove the covering on the fitler stick which is located left side of tank?

Rebecca, Use the scoop to measure your ground coffee and put it in the small basket. Behind the basket is a small open tank and that's where you put your water. I just use my own measuring Tablespoon and follow the amounts given on my coffee can (Folgers regular coffee + 1Tablespoon coffee grounds per 6 oz water. Then flip the red button and it will light up so you know its on. It wont do anything for several seconds but then you'll hear it start to brew. When its done brewing you have to flip the switch back to the off position. It will not turn off by itself. Don't leave it on as it could be a fire hazard if left long enough. After using it for awhile if the brewing gets slow you can brew a cup of half white vinegar and half water (no coffee.) Let half of the vinegar-water brew and shut off the machine. Let it sit a few hours or overnight. Then turn the machine back on and let the other half of the vinegar-water brew all the way. Then shut it off to cool a little. Then run a cup of plain water all the way through. Repeat the plain water brewing until it doesn't smell like vinegar anymore (usually just 2 brewing cycles.) It will run like new again after you do that. Doesn't need it very often. I adore my Caf Uno and hope you enjoy yours.

In addition to the settings, check the wattage rating of the coffee maker too.

I had the same problem, the machine made the pump noise but no coffee. The cause of the problem was the water tank was not seated properly. I pushed down the tank as far as it went and the problem was solved.

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

Your inverter is not powerful enough. Upgrade to a bigger inverter or purchase a DC Immersion Heater. A little more expensive but worth it if you like your morning coffee.

Your best bet is to make a pot of coffee while you are awake and see where the problem originates. With a different model, we found that we added too many grounds and the basket would overflow. If you are in an area with hard water, be sure to run white vinegar or other hard water remover through the system. All the other answers are good too. Until you watch the process, though, you can't really find the problem to come up with a solution.

Possibly. Brewing is started by an on-off rocker switch that must be physically activated. Conceivably, you can set it to on, plug it into your external timer, and let it go. At the appointed time, electrical current flows to the coffee maker, water is boiled, coffee is made, etc. The Bonavita then turns itself off some time later; the rocker switch flips back and I do not know the mechanism that causes this.

Have to check wattage and amperage of the coffee maker, Go Power Unit, and the battery you will be hooking it up to.

Make sure you have added the right amount of water and that the small knob to the left of the K-cup holder is turned to the K-cup symbol. Also the holder of the K-cup pod must be fully inserted and the lever pushed down. If this doesn't work, it may be time to return it.

Amy: with the unit properly filled with coffee, place the unit on top of an empty cup/mug, pour your hot water into the vessel, place the plunger into it, and GENTLY push it down to force the water thru the coffee and into the cup/mug. NOTE: the plunger does NOT have to contact the water in order for it to begin pushing the water thru the coffee. The air between the plunger and the water will compress as you push down and will force the water downward. Once or twice doing this and you will become expert. Enjoy!

As you didn't provide enough information I apologize for asking the obvious. But did you remove ALL the packing on and in the machine? Did you use the instructions as you made your for brew? Did you add water to the reservoir?If you said yes to all then I'd recommend you contact Capresso. Please follow up when you get a resolution. I'm interested to know the cause of your issue.

The brew pause feature isn't working on my brand new coffee maker. My old one developed that problem after a few years of use, but this one seems to be of a lesser quality. I have to use a saucer to catch the drips.Otherwise, it's working fine.

I'm sorry. Mine does that also. It only brews a couple of cups and shuts off completely. I kept turning it back on until it got to be a nuisance. So now I make the coffee in the glass carafe and transfer the fresh coffee into the stainless carafe when it is done. The stainless carafe has a magnetic bottom so the machine "knows" when you are using it. The warming plate doesn't turn on when using the stainless carafe. Seems to be a defect in the design. Maybe someday the manufacturer will figure it out.

debugging anything involves working your way step by step thru the processI did not experience this but my inclination is to recheck the kcup - and how it is sitting in the coffee makeryou look to see if where the water enters is blocked because the kcup is not properly seated also look at what 'appears clogged' literally means - is water coming out some other way? or it just does nothing if kcup is in place? I did have trouble with water saturating the coffee - and this was reason I ultimately returned the product

The problem may not be with coffeemaker - but your electrical outlet. We had that problem with microwaves and toasters. AC power sometimes loosens wires inside the handy-box. Have an electrician (or someone who knows something about it) check the connections of hot-neutral-ground. That could be the problem...

I don't know what the problem is ... have never had it. Can only guess that you are not attaching it properly. Try to be sure it is evenly hooked into both the main grooves (and not filled over the top with coffee) before you turn it, and lock it in. I love our machine. If you clean it each time (run it through without coffee a little), it should last many years. pg
