is there something rattling inside the screw on top of the carafe? I hear a rattling sound.

Yes. That's part of the sealing system. Allows the coffee to brew into the carafe while keeping it sealed. When your pour, the ball rolls back and you can pour the coffee. Perfectly normal.

The cap is designed to allow the coffee to flow into the carafe while brewing and to be poured out through the cap after brewing. The rattling you hear is a small ball inside the cap which acts as check valve between the two functions.

it is a little ball that covers a small vent of the carafe when standing upright as to seal it to hold the heat.

Make sure your brew basket is sitting properly inside the maker. Also check the model number of the carafe as it should be PLD12-NP. If the above trouble shooting was no help, please contact Mr. Coffee direct so that we may further assist you.

Sell the carafe on eBay and put the rest in the garbage. Mine did the same after 3 months.

No I havent. Mainly because of lack of information on doing so. I certainly would not trust the carafe, it way to delicate. Better not to take a chance on the other part either. Zojirushi has a good website, maybe they can help ? I hope you find your answer.

Have same issue. No suggestions. Doesn't seem to have any bearing on the quality of the mix.. I use it for latte's only. Makes a great Latte with Trader Joe's Dark Coffee Mix. The biggest problem I have is with vibration. If I do not hold on to the carafe, it will move away from the down spouts missing the carafe.

Same problem, also contacted seller and was sent replacement carafe with no improvement. I suspect it's just a design flaw, although interestingly when the coffee pot is freshly cleaned the dripping is minimal (maybe coffee deposits on the lip of the plastic pour change the surface tension/capillary action? idk...)

It should not be, did you mount it securely? is it vibrating the window that isnt fully secured properly with the foam insulation to deaden noise and insulate against heat getting in? Has it been noisy since day one? what sort of noise is it? rattling is likely window vibration due to not being securely mounted, if its not that, its possibly a bad part in the blower. if its a squealing its definitely a bad part. if its metalic grinding its a bearing. we need more info.

It should fit very snugly; no "rattling" whatsoever. It is such a snug fit, you must start it at a perfect 90 degrees to the carafe's opening before you start your "pressing". Do not accept anything less.

I just got a B40 for Xmas. The "slight vibration" as Keurig calls it, when it starts up in the morning and in between cups is very loud to say the least. It sounds like one of those air tools used at the tire store. I live in an apartment and the manager left me a noise warning under the door today, telling me several of my neighbors have complained about the loud noise at 6:30AM. If I receive two more warnings, I can be evicted with out notice. So it looks like my Keurig is going back. :( I really wish Keurig would offer a solution.

I checked mine. It has a light rattle if I shake it side to side (something I wouldn't normally do)

When I contacted B&D;'s customer service about replacing the carafe--it was cracked/chipped when we took it out of the box--they wouldn't replace it. I don't know, though, if they will sell a replacement. I'm so disappointed in this machine, I'm hoping the carafe will finally break so I can get something different!

Mine makes a noise when I press the button like it's building up to steam. It's sort of a gurgling or water popping kind of sound. That's normal. Does that help?

the button on my lid does not move and there is no noise from the tumbler. I would see if you can exchange.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours not make that sound

Mine makes a noise that I was initially concerned about but after reading JcrusR2's answer I can verify that in my case, he is right (The only thing that might be loose is the plastic On Button. The inside should be solid.) Try shaking it and checking to see if the noise is coming from the power button. You can also jiggle the button lightly with your finger and produce the same sound.

I've had the same problem. Bad design. The workaround that I've found is to close the top before putting the carafe in place. If you put the carafe in first and then close the top, it doesn't seem to work as well.

I figured out what the sound is, I think... There is a plastic ring inside the ring that screws on and on mine, the plastic ring is broken, thus the clicky sound because the inner shaft can't get tight.
