Hamilton Beach Coffee Maker: Coffee maker is slowly leaking clear water from the bottom.

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 18:02:57 -0700

I believe my Hamilton Beach 12 cup coffee maker 49465R needs a new hose, but where do I get one? The company doesn't sell them, eBay doesn't have any, ifixit doesn't have any. Looking for advice on how to DIY a hose. Is the tubing similar from one coffee maker to another...in other words, could I buy a tube from say DeLonghi and cut it to fit?

Ninja Coffee Bar® Single-Serve System: Ninja coffee maker suddenly does not recognize the Tea brewing basket

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:12:00 -0700

Out of nowhere, my Ninja cp301 (similar to the unit I selected for this post) does not recognize the tea brewing basket. When I place the orange coffee brewing basket in the unit, it works fine.

Steps I’ve taken:

“Burped” the unit by turning it upside down and lightly striking it with the palm of my hand.
Cleaned the unit with a paper towel. Removed a lot of buildup from where the hot water drips down into the brew basket.
Cleaned the tea brew basket and examined it for damage
Consulted the owner’s manual for troubleshooting tips

Symptoms:

When I place the tea brewing basket in the unit, the machine’s lights do not indicate “Tea”. Pressing start, on any setting, causes 5 beeps and both the Tea and Coffee light indicators flash. (This is also what happens with no brew basket in the machine)

The coffee brew basket works fine. The machine just suddenly stopped recognizing the tea brew basket for no apparent reason. I had just used the machine to make tea about 3 hours before I noticed the failure.

My question:

How does the machine “know” which basket is inserted? There is something about my tea brew basket that isn’t triggering the proper sensors or something. I doubt running the cleaning function will help, but I am trying that next.

I would greatly appreciate any help or advice on how to get things back in order.

Thanks,

Jason

Keurig Elite: Add water, Heating, and Medium cup buttons flash but no coffee!

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 10:24:35 -0700

I recently moved cities and after unpacking I noticed my Keurig is no longer working. When I turn my Keurig on, the machine will display the add water, heating and medium cup buttons and they will all be blinking. I tried to replace the external water reservoir and even opened up the bottom of the Keurig to drain the internal reservoir however I have not seen any results. If anyone has had a similar problem, please feel free on what to do in order to fix this.

Nespresso Delonghi Lattissima Touch: Latissima Touch - Fails to complete the descaling process

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 15:54:12 -0700

Tried to descale the machine (when prompted by the flashing light).

Descaling cycle completed, but after filling the tank with fresh water the machine switched off when the froth button was pressed to start the rinse cycle.

Tried to run the whole process three times - no change.

So can't complete the rinse and the descale light continues to flash.

Any similar experience and suggested fix out there?

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 15:49:57 -0700

Hi,

I have noticed that some of the coffee is leaked into the collector basket. In between the nossle and the brewing unit. I have taken the machine apart and tried to install a new brewing unit but some coffe Is still leaked into the collector basket. I have tried to clean the plate that punctures the pod but still coffee leakage happens. Any idea what could cause this and how I can fix it?

Nespresso U: The spout is not moving into the correct position

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 15:42:09 -0700

The coffee is going straight into the waste container as opposed to coming out through the spout. It appears that the spout is not dropping down into the correct position. How do you ensure that the spout does drop in the correct position when the mechanism starts?

Lately, my Keurig Elite hasn't been making full cups of coffee, and just today it finally decided that it no longer wants to brew anything at all. I'm at a loss... Is this thing salvageable?

Jura: Why is a my Impressa C9 brew group grinding gears after revision?

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 06:29:43 -0700

I recently purchased a Jura Impressa C9 which worked OK but was really really filthy. So I took it apart, took apart and cleaned the grinder and took apart and cleaned the brew group. Lubed all the things that needed lubing and reassembled. However it is now making a loud worrying noise when the white spindel is going up in the brew group. See video: https://imgur.com/a/iEXsOvU

Downwards is ok, but upwards it sounds like grinding gears. It seems to originate from the small white spindel on the other side (picture 1 in this link: https://imgur.com/a/jjcPPVp ). I've already tightened and loosened the screws of the brew group attachment but this didn't help significantly.

I should add (with some embarrassment) that after reassembly I had two screws left over (the normal T15 ones), which I don't know where to put for the love of me.

In picture 2 and 3 in the link https://imgur.com/a/jjcPPVp I have showed a picture of the screws for the brew group, which I believe is the correct amount and positions.

Does anyone recognize and/or understand this problem and know how to solve? It does make coffee like this successfully (tried once) but it sure sounds like it is demolishing this beautiful machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ninja Coffee Bar CF086: Drip stop light prevents brewing

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 07:13:43 -0700

I have a ninja coffee bar, had it for 2 years. The drip stop light lit while brewing, and wouldn't brew at all. I replaced the drip tray, and went away with one brew. Light returns. Seems to occur with unbalanced surfaces too, and whenever we slightly move it or shake it, the light MAY go off and brew for a bit. Has anyone taken one apart and disabled the drip stop sensor, and if so, how?

Ninja Coffee Makers: How can I get the control module out of our Ninja CE200?

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 00:01:48 -0700

Ninja CE200 coffeemaker. Display crystals are not all functional and I want to alcohol wipe their zebra strip and contacts bar. But I can't budge the button/display module from its mounting inside. It's trim escutcheon holds it tight to the body and won't let go of the module from the rear. The back half of the module pops off easily, but that's no help. To get at the boards and crystal contacts I need to remove the whole module. How does one get it out of the machine? There's bars on either side that it seems to slide tabs into, but bending them clear of the tabs still won't allow the module to budge.

Escutcheon, module, and module cap (untabbed from module but not removed yet due to restrictive wires)
