PROBABLE CAUSE • Excessive amounts of coffee. • Coffee ground too finely. Set coffee grinder to automatic drip grind. • Coffeemaker needs cleaning. If using a paper filter: • Coffee grounds between paper filter and filter basket. • Paper filter not open and in proper position. • Rinse filter basket before inserting paper filter so the edges will remain pressed against the sides of the basket. • Poor quality paper filter. •Thermal travel mugs not properly seated in position indicators on base. Refer to How to Make Coffee for correct position of thermal travel mugs during brewing. • Coffeemaker needs cleaning. • Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Set coffee grinder to automatic drip grind. • Coffee-to-water ratio unbalanced. Adjust for personal preference. • Poor coffee quality and freshness. • Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water). • Use a high-quality, basket-style paper filter instead of optional permanent coffee filter. 9
