    • When it grinds the coffee it puts it all on one side of the basket leaving grounds untouched by the water
    • It also employs a basket filter as opposed to the
    • Our diagnosis of the problem is this: the machine vibrates quite a lot during grinding and we suspect that the vibration might be causing the carafe, which slides very easily around on the hot plate, to shift off the central position it must be in in order to keep the basket open and draining into the carafe

    • Remove basket, clean all surfaces above basket thoroughly, replace basket and try again.
    • Beans get ground but somewhere between the grinder and the grounds basket the grounds get jammed
    • the differences from the old machine to the new that I can notice right off the bat are the basket filter vs. the old, conical filter basket and the lack of charcoal filter in box for the filter well in the base of the water reservoir
    • Old coffee residue negatively affects the taste of coffee, so not being able to clean this basket is a significant negative
    • The basket is difficult to remove and constructed of flimsy plastic parts
    • The grinder function did not work as we thought it should.

    • Every morning we can have coffee at home that almost as good as if we bought it at a coffee shop
    • Is someone‘s has same problem as mine
