The manual does not mention the Aroma button, other than saying it is there. Does it make a difference and, by using it, does it take longer to brew?

I think it takes a little longer but I never timed it. I know you can smell it all over my house when I use it. My husband thinks the coffee is slightly stronger, but I don't notice it, but I use cream and sugar. I think it makes you want the coffee more because it smells so good.

It takes longer to brew and the assumption is that more flavor will brew out of the coffee; I cannot tell the difference.

I personally do not use the aroma button on a regular basis. The aroma button does take a little longer because the water pours over the coffee grounds at a slower rate during perking which makes for a strobger cup of coffee.

I press the program button, then I punch in the hour and minute I want it to start brewing. Usually 30 minutes before I wake I set mine. One the time is punched in I push the "Auto On" button.

With the manual, you egress the button to both start and stop the brew. One the plus side, you control how tall or short your cup is. On the downside, you can't walk away or get distracted. I have both types of machines, one at home and one at work. I feel like the difference in quality is negligible when the price is compared. I do seem to have trouble getting up enough pressure to pierce the capsules on my manual sometimes. If you're on a budget, the manual is fine and makes great espresso!

The only solution to this problem that I can think of is that you may have another setting on at the same time. For example, if you've set the auto brew to brew at a specific time in the future, and you've pushed that button, telling it to brew at that future time, it won't brew if you press the brew button. You must cancel the other command for it to obey the brew command. Hope this helps. I really like this coffee maker. I've had it for about a year now and I haven't had any problems.

From the time you first push the on switch on back it takes 90 sec. to warm the water to a certain temp., after which it take about 20 seconds to brew a cup. Don't forget their is about 5 different sizes and the pod must say "extra bold" for larger size cups

Didn't anyone notice the stainless steel accent on the handle of the 2650?! I'm debating between counter appeal and 25% faster brew time......

They both brew at the same time. There is no timer or delay function. I found it most useful if you want to brew two types of coffee (ex. regular and decaf). Note: do not fill it with water the night before, it will leak out over night. Other than that, I loved it.

The coffee maker does not beep after it's brewed the coffee. It just sits there and waits for you to drink what the timer activated. But I'd suggest not setting the time to brew the coffee an hour before you're going to get up or it will be cool by the time you do plan to drink it!

Make sure your pod is inserted in the correct way & that you are pressing the correct button for the type of coffee you are making eg, brew is only the bottom 3rd button & buttons 1 & 2 are for espresso only. Be careful not to mix them up.

You have to push the brew button to start and stop the machine and open the to lever to expel the used pod, as opposed to the Nespresso U, which does this automatically. t

I just got one for Christmas and I would say no you cannot set it to auto brew in AM (at least the directions did not mention it and I cant seem to figure it out if it does), what you can do is set the machine to turn on at a specific time so its ready to brew, you still have to put the K coffee in the brewer and press the button to brew. The point being it only takes like a minute to make a cup, most coffee machines with timers make an entire 10 cup or so pot of coffee that will take much longer to brew

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for either question. I have never just sat there and waited for the blue light to go green (green being done). It will brew with a slight perking sound, and when I don't hear it any more, I'll check and its usually ready. Still can't give you a time. As far as going dry, I will check periodically (depending on how many are here drinking coffee), and when its down to 10 cups or less, I will unplug it. I haven't seen anything saying it will shut off when dry. That's why I mentioned I will check. Don't know if I helped with your questions, but hope I did.

Do you mean when you do not wait for the brewing cycle to finish and the machine has not beeped at completion? I don't know. My machine drips if I pull the pot out before it has completed brewing. ALSO, be sure to have the main coffee filter holder clicked into place. Ugh! Huge mess! Coffee grounds all over the inside of my pot. It is still better than the previous model. I do not use the reusable filter. I use the paper filters. Hope this helps!

Yes, it has a "delayed brew" timer, but I never use that feature on my machine.

Only the center on/off button lights, the other four buttons are stainless. The on/off button is dim blue when sitting idle / cold. When you press the button to turn it on it turns to bright blue. When it is set for auto start it turns to bright red and stays there as long as it is in auto or hot. I don't recall ever seeing a blinking mode, I'll have to watch closer next time it is brewing. If I notice anything significantly different than what I said I'll update the post. I've had many coffee pots and usually have something that I don't like about it. This one is probably the best I've had so far. I like that it is so intuitive to program that you don't need the manual. The whole top opens up for easy filling and cleaning. It's hard to come up with anything I don't like about it but the closest thing to a complaint is that if you try to pour too fast with a full pot it will dribble. Once you know that just start off slower and it's no problem at all. If you want a good value, nice looking, easy to use coffee pot then you should buy it. If mine ever breaks I'm buying another just like it. Hope this answers your questions.

I've never timed it, but it does seem to take a bit longer than a standard brewer.

I'm not surprised . . . I returned mine about an hour after I received it when I realized that programming the features was going to be an issue. It has been my experience that issues early on are signs of more issues down the road. The more I hear about this coffeemaker, the happier I am with my decision to return it. Good luck with yours.
