Mine has been powered up for 2 weeks and I still get a 3/4 cup of FOAM and only 1/4 cup of beer. What is going on?

Sorry but for whatever reason it's not working. If it's fairly old, it's likely at end of life.

only thing I can think of is the way u poor - tip the glass so beer pours onto the side and not the bottom.

In my experience, let the cup in horizontal position before fill in. And also you can press the "throttle" gentle, so the beer is released slowly.

Make sure you are pressing hard enough on the carbonation button. I had the same problem with mine until I realized I wasn't pressing it down all the way. Try two firm, short bursts. You will feel the difference in the pressure on the button when you get it right.

If it won't brew then it is the water pump. Either it needs to be primed (see advice from others) or it may be faulty. My current one needs to be primed every now and then.

I have that same problem!!! I had descaled it, and 'cleaned' the machine parts with a paperclip (per instructions by rep on phone) and I still got short-cupped. I talked to the company a few days ago and complained, so they thought it could be a 'faulty k-cup holder' and they sent me a replacement. Well I put it in, and now my machine does NOT work at all! I called the company and they think the machine could be defective and are sending me out a new one. I hope THIS new one works!!!!

Sara-it should only run for what a normal brewing cycle should be, that light will never go off now, this was the first sign of the problems I had with this coffee maker. Good luck.

Mine won't stay on after I brewed the 2nd pot. Any idea how to get it work again? I've unplugged it, tried all 5 settings, tried different amounts of water.... Did I get a bad Breville? I loved my old Breville.

It's a lemon like mine was....return it and get a keurig. The first one I bought didn't brew either so I returned it to Macy's and they sent me another....then, after two months the second one died so I called Macy's and they took it back.....got myself a keurig and haven't had a problem since!

I don't know why it happens but I had the same experience and left a review here on it. One way to work around it is (and this only works if you're only making 3 or so cups, otherwise you'll have a mess) to not put the carafe in until it's done brewing. I kept the dumb thing but ordered the glass universal which works fine.

If it's like mine, it has the option to only brew 1-4 cups. You may have set it on that by accident, Look in the lower left corner of the display and see if it reads 1-4 cups.

I am experiencing what seem to be "computer" glitches occasionally. The cup will start to brew, stop after just a little bit then switch by itself to the largest cup size and say "ready to brew." It has happened a few times (have owned the unit about 6 weeks). I was wondering if it was related to not running a water only cycle after hot chocolate k-cups (is it dirty or somehow "clogged") so we are being diligent about this. Wondering if I should just get a new one. The posts that say things like "has worked flawlessly for over a year" make me think I just have a bum unit.

Was a breaker thrown? Did you try a different outlet. We have been extremely satisfied with our Wolfgang Puck coffee maker.

Ours does the same sometimes and generally indicates the tank hasn't been properly seated in the machine. Make sure to carefully place the tank when you fill it and that should reduce the problem. I know this is hard before having coffee so perhaps fill the tank the day before when your brain has already been caffienated.

I haven't had that problem and I use my machine daily so I would say no, it's not normal. If it's not the outlet (do other appliances work using that same outlet?), the tank isn't empty, it sounds like the machine broke.

Make sure you have the grind feature turned off, no water in reservoir, and hit the "on" button. That'll turn it back on. I used to do this with my Krups coffeemaker all the time. It worked!

same here- tried cleaning it, no luck- when I first turn it on a lot of mist comes out and then hardly any, then puffs, then nothingedit- just poured out a lot of the water out of the cup and it works beautifully again! I think it requires a lot less water in the cup than you might think...I misplaced the measuring cup that came with mine. Although if yours doesn't mist at all that's probably not the problem....edit again- it ran out of water before the cycle was done...so that doesn't seem right to me either

I'm going to call them today about mine. I got mine last September for my birthday. I have been having pump issues, as well as it has started to leak underneath. I'm glad to hear you had a positive experience with them. I emailed their customer service department today. I guess I need to call instead. I will do so when I get home. I love my coffee brewer, and I descale it every 4 months religiously (even though I only use bottled water). I will let everyone know the outcome.

Have you adjusted the brew knob to pot versus kapok setting? There are also settings under the clock that need to be adjusted. If I am using the kapok side, I use the receiving container to measure the correct amount of water. Hope this helps. Take care.
