Coffee pot lights up but will not brew. How do I make it work?

Often you have to go through a descale process. Look in the manual and try that. It will often clean a sensor and maybe get it going again. The process is a combination of distilled vinegar and water etc...

Push the "ON" button. If you hold down on the button it will go back off so you have to do it quickly.

The only solution to this problem that I can think of is that you may have another setting on at the same time. For example, if you've set the auto brew to brew at a specific time in the future, and you've pushed that button, telling it to brew at that future time, it won't brew if you press the brew button. You must cancel the other command for it to obey the brew command. Hope this helps. I really like this coffee maker. I've had it for about a year now and I haven't had any problems.

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.

I am sorry you have had problems with your coffee maker...Have you made sure the beans are on fine grind and the cup selection is on the darkest...I love coffee and this coffee maker does make good strong coffee it is a hair lighter than an espresso. Maybe you should look at espresso machines too.

In addition to the settings, check the wattage rating of the coffee maker too.

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.

After a certain number of times you use the brewstation, the clean light appears. Follow the instructions in the booklet for using vinegar to clean it. Once you are finished the light will go out. Next time you make coffee, turn the machine on, then quickly turn it off, wait a few seconds and turn it on again. If that doesn't make the clean light go off...call Hamilton Beach customer service for help.

I had the same problem 2 months ago, contacted Caphalon detailing all my issues with this pot and they refunded my money even though I bought it through Amazon. Apparently there have been many issues with this coffee pot.

Fill the reservoir with waterOnce the machine is on and the green light is solid, push it to start brewing and again to stop it. Time between pushes depends on how strong you like it. You will have to experiment

Something is defective if you are sure the lid is on correctly. I would ask for a replacement coffee maker.

I can't seem to get the k-cup portion to work at all correctly with grounds in my coffee

Not sure about your specific situation, but you have to follow its very specific order of events. 1 - plug it in. 2 - push the "brew" button. 3 - put the water in the reservoir. 4 - open the filter/cup case and insert your coffee and allow the water to flow into the machine. 5 - close the filter/cup case. It should brew if you follow those steps in that order.

Yes it does, but my light on it has not worked ever since I purchased it. But I love the coffee pot overall!

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!

My Keurig B60 does the same thing. I can't seem to set the clock anymore it keeps jumping to the next setting every time I press the small brew button for "H". It shuts off and on automatically and when I get home from work I have to go through the same run-around to make a cup of coffee. I think I'll call customer service as well. This is the second one I have had. The first one wouldn't go through the priming. that was a bad start.
