Brew barely trickles out, going "plop, plop, plop"-creating a mess & little coffee. Normally there is a steady stream of brew Used 2T of medium-fine

I had another thought about this. I had nearly forgotten but when I first got mine, the two green cups were stuck together and I didn't realize it. It came out in drops and made a terrible mess with the grounds. I probably should have noticed that they were stuck together but well . . .

I don't know if this is the problem, but I use only one tablespoon and have no problems with it.

Are you sure it's not your Keurig? Mine died recently ... and that's what it was doing beforehand. You might run your machine thru a cycle with nothing (no Java Jig) to see if the water is coming out normally. If that's not it ... you might be using too much coffee or too fine a grind. I always left 1/4 inch or so space above the coffee when I filled mine. I also use a regular drip grind. When my Keruig was working, the Java Jig worked best of all the refillable cups I tried.

Not sure what you question is but the Java Jig did not work optimally in my Keurig. It did not brew a full cup. I ended up returning it and getting a refund. That being said I have friends who love it and theirs brews fine. Go figure.

All I know is our coffee started to come out slower and I tried to clean it and it helped a little, did you check in your manual ? Or go to the Hamilton Beach website and see if they have parts info. Our machine started to leak so we had to toss it out this was the third we had. We bought a Keurig and absolutely love it...

debugging anything involves working your way step by step thru the processI did not experience this but my inclination is to recheck the kcup - and how it is sitting in the coffee makeryou look to see if where the water enters is blocked because the kcup is not properly seated also look at what 'appears clogged' literally means - is water coming out some other way? or it just does nothing if kcup is in place? I did have trouble with water saturating the coffee - and this was reason I ultimately returned the product

I spoke with Breville and they told me that the likely problem was too fine of a grind in the filter. They had me soak the filter in a vinegar/water mixture over nite then run the machine without coffee and I would see the grounds in the cup. Well, I did as they advised and only saw a few grounds. The problem persisted. I tried the pod and the flow was mostly drips, not a steady flow. I decided that this machine is too fussy, I just want my latte!

If it works fine with just water, then maybe you packed in the coffee too tightly. It might take some trial & error to get it right.

We had this problem with our Bunn Coffeemaker and found a way to avoid the overflow. We wet the paper filter just a bit before adding the coffee grounds. That seems to take care of the overflow. Hope this helps others with the same problem.

There is a lever on the brewing basket which regulates the flow of the coffee into the pot. It has settings of off, half on, and full on (up). That might be your problem.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for posting this solution! I have just spent an hour trying to unclog the filters with the cleaning tool and with vinegar, but to no avail. I didn't think it was clogged with coffee grounds since I've only used pods so far, and as far as I know, we don't have hard water. (Plus, we've only been using the machine for 2 weeks.) I was ready to bring it back to the store. It turns out the water tank just wasn't pushed in all the way. Seems to me this simple suggestion should be in the list of troubleshooting tips in the owner's manual, because I have a feeling a number of people are having this problem and attributing it to something more serious.

There certainly could be some water but your description seems like it's too much. This is a pressure system so that pressure should force the water thru the grounds. Are you filling the basket with enough coffee grounds? What is the quality of the coffee you're making? I presume you are allowing a small amount of time for the water to percolate thru when the pressure tapers off.

Sorry can't help with this one. I only used it once and it left coffee grounds all over the place so I just trashed them.

I am having the same problem. I just used the singel brew several times. We buy specialty coffee beans at costco & grind them daily since we love gormet coffee. I used 2 scoopes of beans (normally 5 scoops for a full pot) brewed it & it was see thru dirt colored water! WTF? So I ground up 3 heaping scoops & tried again, darker water with tons of grounds in it! Seriously? What could a preson possibly get wrong with putting in a cup of water, grounds & pushing a button (basically)? I dont get it...Maybe its just defective. I guess I hate the single brew in this machine now. Kinda sucks. BUMMER!

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.

Try tamping the portafilter not so densely. If the machine has good water flow without coffee in it, experiment with the fineness of the grind, the amount in the portafilter, and the amount of pressure you use to tamp. there is definitely a learning curve!

I put 30ml regular ground coffee in pod. Clean all grounds from sealing area . Good Luck !!

Try cleaning with vinager, trying running it thru the brewing cycle. If that doesn't work, send it back. I didn't have that problem with mines.

we had the same problem, and actually found it was an issue with the cups we were using. we took apart one cup where the brewer didn't give us a full cup of coffee, and compared it to one that did. the short-cupped one was missing a filter paper thingy in it, so we don't buy those cups anymore. the only other thing we do that others might not is run it without a cup at 4-5 times a week - my 11yo son uses it to get hot water for oatmeal in the morning :)

I have experienced my grounds to be quite soupy or watery when I go to dump them out. Not sure if it's normal, but it's been a bit messy. I try to let it drip out for as long as I can before cleaning the whole little coffee basket out under hot running water. Hope this helps.
