to address calcium buildup, in rare cases

your Mr. Coffee Perfect Brew
Hot & Cold Coffee & Tea
Brewer.
Follow the instructions of the
“Descale your Mr. Coffee Perfect
Brew Hot & Iced Coffee & Tea
Brewer section p.13.
There is sediment in
my coffee
If using the Mr. Coffee
reusable filter, the sediment
at the bottom of the brewed
coffee may be due to using
finely ground coffee.
Use a slightly coarser grind.
OVER ICE and
EXPRESS COLD BREW
beverages are not
cold.
There was not enough ice
in the cup or carafe. The
cycles brew hot concentrated
beverages over ice, so
maintaining the ice/ beverage
ratio is important.
For OVER ICE brew cycle, fill your cup
all the way up with ice, or the carafe
up to the “OVER ICE” line.
For EXPRESS COLD BREW, fill 1/4 to
1/3 of your cup with ice, or the carafe
up to the “EXPRESS COLD BREW”
line before brewing. Add additional ice
to taste after brewing cycle is over.
Coffee or tea is too
weak.
• There is not enough coffee
grounds or tea in the filter.
• Coffee grounds are too
coarse.
• Add an additional ½ or 1 scoop of
coffee grounds or tea.
• Use finer coffee grounds.
Coffee or tea is too
strong.
• There is too much coffee
grounds or tea in the filter.
• Coffee grounds are too fine.
• There is too much coffee grounds
or tea in the filter.
• Use coarser grounds
Coffee overflowing
from the basket
• Grind size is too fine.
• Too much coffee grounds in
the basket.
• Putting paper into reusable
filter.
•
Use coarser grounds. Never use
espresso grounds.
•
Reduce the amount of grounds used
•
Only use the Mr. Coffee reusable
filer or a paper filter directly in
the brew basket, do not use both
simultaneously.
The carafe brew cycle
does not start
• There is no water in the
water tank.
• The carafe sensor cannot
read the metal band
•
Fill up the water tank.
• Wipe the carafe metal ban clean;
ice in the carafe may lead to sweat
on the band making it difficult for
the sensor to read.
The clock does not
remember time
The clock is cleared every time
the unit is unplugged.
Keep the unit plugged.
My coffee or tea does
not come out right
away after the unit
starts brewing
This is part of the normal
brew or steep cycles. The unit
starts by blooming coffee, or
steeps tea for a few minutes to
extract all the flavors.
No action required, just wait until
machine beeps indicating the brew or
steep cycle is over.
There is water left in
the brew basket after
brewing
During a brew cycle,
condensation forms on the
showerhead and brewer lid,
which can drip down in the
brew basket.
No action required, this is perfectly
normal when brewing.
