Two questions, first, anyone know what the water temp is as it comes out? Are full, half and single the only brew options? Thanks!

Thanks JJLet me know how you like the A10.Now the question is, how are you grinding your beans? I have a Baratza Vario and I am also very happy with it. Occasionally grinds will stick in the basket due to static, but overall pretty rock solid. They have the new Vario that doses by weight; wish I had it. When I use my Chemex or Hario pour overs, I weigh out the beans and water. If you haven't tried a pour over, it's an inexpensive investment which brews excellent coffee.Happy brewing my friend...

Sorry Jason...as great a coffee maker as a friend boasts it is..I got a lemon and had to send it back..never even got to make the first brew...as a coffee lover, I am very disappointed for us both...better luck next time

Hmmmm....that is odd. Did you accidentally choose a reduced cup brew? I think it has that choice I. Programming, however, I have never used it. I have never had mine brew only 1/2 a pot either.

There are lots of variables to consider before answering this question. Is the kettle 100% full? Is the water room temperature? What setting did you select? Overall, I find this kettle to be very good. It heats water to the temperature I choose in a time I am willing to accept. I am happy with it and have been for 1 year.

I have not had to clean mine yet, due to the water we have (very few minerals in it), but when brewing a bussing sound is normal, but this unit is suppose to shut off in 90 or so seconds after brewing a cup of coffee. Which means the blue indicator lights that you have on the unit that blink after you brew a cup will stop flashing , and you would need to press the on button again to turn the unit on before you can brew another cup. In short, if the lights don't go off, you have a problem, and if they do, the unit would not be able to overheat because it would be off. Hope that helps. Also, if you have cleaned the unit, you likely opened up the cap that gives you access to the water filter section, I do know that if that has not been put back on correctly, the unit will be very loud, and not function properly (wife when she first used it thought that was were the water was poured into, and didn't get it back on correctly), the way the marking are for lock/unlock really do not line up correctly, so you have to make sure you secure it back on correctly.

I don't know the brewing temp, but it brews very good coffee. The top doesn't close down tightly...they don't address the basket liner size well so it interferes with closure, plus over time the top warps a little, so there is quits a bit of steam escape... requiring 'adjusting up' the amount of water you put in the tank. This steam leak was true of each of the 3 of this model... to varying degrees. The little quality control and design issues were not deal breakers for me, because the coffee is so good.

I just zap my mug with water in it for about a minute, then dump the hot water out and brew into the hot mug, works much better for me. My husband likes the tepid brew though, weirdo.

Jack -- I just found the following for the DCC-2650 "Extreme Brew" on another site where this question had been asked (product name is NOT "Brew Central" as says in the Amazon description -- check the Cusinart site and look at the product image -- indeed is "Extreme Brew")Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Cuisinart Coffeemaker. The coffeemakers brew between 180 - 190 degrees; we find that this is the optimal brewing temperature for the best flavor extraction of the coffee bean.We thank you for interest in Cuisinart

The first one that I got did the same thing, would not brew and I had it replaced. It seems the water is not dropping to the bottom of the resorvoir. When trying to brew a single cup, I would get error messages because of this. Lousy production control is what I think. My replacement is working fine tho.

I returned mine, I had problems with it . It didn't brew at all. There is a warming session right after brewing due to the stainless is may have to be hotter than a glass carafe. A heating light should stay on to warn you it is still hot to prevent injury. If not send it back and choose another.

I have had mine for a couple of months now and couldn't be happier with it. I can store it under the counter if I want to get it out of the way. The water is hot and it brews quickly and I can use my own coffee/tea. It is more than I expected for the price that I paid.

I dont recommend, bcoz it will taste watery. One single cup at a time. But if you want to brew for 8oz, you can do it at the same time for two cups

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for either question. I have never just sat there and waited for the blue light to go green (green being done). It will brew with a slight perking sound, and when I don't hear it any more, I'll check and its usually ready. Still can't give you a time. As far as going dry, I will check periodically (depending on how many are here drinking coffee), and when its down to 10 cups or less, I will unplug it. I haven't seen anything saying it will shut off when dry. That's why I mentioned I will check. Don't know if I helped with your questions, but hope I did.

Try running it without any coffee. What does the water alone taste like? If its brand new, then run it through with water (only) a few times, including steaming.

That was my main concern too when I bought a bunn last year after spending weeks trying to pick a new coffee maker. I like strong, flavorful coffee (love starbucks brewed). I was worried it would be too watery and weak. It's not! I love my bunn now, best home coffee maker imo and ive been through them all. It makes the best tasting coffee. I grind my coffee pretty fine just to make sure it's as strong as I like it. I do think the main difference with the bunn, like they claim, is the temperature the water is for brewing. It really does seem to extract the best flavor from the coffee.

to Dan K. This model, I do own and use. It has one button (Brew/Off). Below that there are two indicator lights (Heat and brew). This machine is as simple as it gets. Grab your cup, fill it with water, pour into the top reservoir and close lid and place cup on the filling tray. Then open the k-cup holder, place k-cup in and close lid. Finally, press the brew button. ***I believe you have a different machine as this has no 'size' selector. It only brews as much water as you put into it (up to the max amount the machine is rated for).
