Has this happened to anyone?! Just started: If you select a larger cup size, it still only gives a small amount of cofffee and takes forever to pour.

unfortunately, our Breville was very finicky and every so often the same thing would happen.We would turn it off and reset it for the cup size we wanted.

Machine is a piece of junk. We went thru three of these and finally said that is enough. Suggest you do a descaling with a good quality descaler. Looks like your mechanism is beginning to clog.

Yes. I've had this unit for over 3 years. It would happen if I hadn't used the unit for a couple weeks. If you use a filter, be sure to change it. Also clean the points on the part that puncture the pods. I also just ran water through the unit a few times. If you have hard water the pumping mechanism may have gotten clogged. It has only happened twice and as I said, only after extended non-use. Good luck.

I have used mine for Hot chocolate and it kept it hot for longer than a regular cup. Try putting HOT tap water in it for about 2 minutes before you put the Coffee in and it should do the same.

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.

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.

Sorry I can't help. I have only tried boiling for 3 min. as the instructions give. I have a Kurig and nothing larger to make more than one cup.

I'm looking for a new coffee maker because not only does this one take forever to complete the brew, but if you pull the carafe out before it is absolutely, totally complete it starts pouring coffee on to the heating pad. I am really surprised at how others have answered this question, because their experience is completely different from ours.

Yes, I had the same experience. I thought it might be due to a difference between a flat vs. conical basket. Thinking a flat basket required more coffee. Couldn't find any support. Capresso will tell you it uses the same amount.

Hi Gloria. I have found NO adjustment for strengh of the coffee. You can only select the cup size. I have tried brewing another cup using the previously used K-Cup; however, it comes out "watered down". My suggestion is to find a milder or stronger type as you desire.

that sounds like a long time. I have never timed it, but I usually brew about 6 cups and don't feel it takes a long time. There is also the option to pour a cup before the brewing is complete. It will stop until you put the carafe back in.

Go big or go home, you can always use less water and coffee. I had the 6 cup and I had to brew 3 of them in order to receive my daily caffeine fix. The coffee was outstanding but waiting for it to brew was about a 15-20 minute wait.

Make sure you get the carafe directly under the basket all the way in. It's a little stiff at first. If it's not all the way in the shut-off valve may not allow the drip/brewing. Otherwise I can't imagine what's wrong.

As it happens, I just boiled water for coffee using my bodium French press which is supposed to be an 8 cup/ Itook about 15 minutes. I am not sure exactly how many onces of water that is, but I should also say it is important not to overfill it. It will still work quickly,

You'll need to run another cycle, either of the same type, or you can get creative and add a chocolate or an extra espresso.They have now come out with new Gevalia & Maxwell House breakfast coffee discs which do produce more, using one overflowed my usual cup which was never filled by the original size. I found the new large ones at Bed Bath & Beyond. Use the 20% off coupon that they send out weekly in the mail.

It works like any other coffe maker, but you are making larger qua rues. There should be a maual

I don't brew a lot off coffee, so haven't noticed if it's slow or not. Seemed OK to me. I use a regular grind of coffee, just what the machine at the store produces. Mine are the stainless steel cups; could that make a difference? Sorry I couldn't help you. Best of luck.

That seems about right. There is a removable drainage tray that sticks out of the frount that needs to be dumped frequently, after every cup you brew. One has to dump water in for each cup. If you can afford it get a good one that you refill a resourvour with water that lasts for a few cups and you can adjust the strength and the size of the cup-this one doesn't. It was cheap and only my wife drinks coffee, not me-I didn't know better then. I do now. Good Luck!

I did and it didn't seem to matter Much one way or another. If I got a positive sometimes I would redo with the cup but for the most part stream seemed to work just fine. Good luck!
