Is the water suppose to boil for this long? When does it normally stop? My units been boling for over an hour now &amp; 1/2 the liquid is gone. Help!

The herbs will cook down to about 1/2 to 1 cup of liquid. A pot of herbs takes about 3-4 hours to cook. The pot will automatically click over to the "warm" mode when it's finished cooking. Once it does that, you can pour off the liquid. I suggest using a small strainer when you pour it into your cup. Then put the herbs from the strainer back in the pot if you'll be using them a second time.

I would get it up to boiling, turn it off, then throw in a Tabz. This should clean everything up to the water line.

I find that it stops brewing... Then I would remove the grounds...and maybe occasionally it will kind of sound like it's trying to rebrew but actually is just reheating... I personally think you wouldn't want to leave it plug in all day or it would taste old and burnt... Hope this helps!

Hi, I have only had that happen when I use the unit for an hour of more. I reckon that the quality of the product varies, and your unit may be overheating more than normal.

Maybe 3-4 minutes. Not long at all. I loved the pot despite the heat gauge being a off (had to lower the dial to actually get the 185 degree temp for brewing Oolong). I say "loved" as discovered today that the pot is leaking. Not happy at all as it is not too much more than a year old. I had noticed some rust along the inside bottom seam a couple of months ago. The leak isn't bad yet, but can only get worse. Guess I'll be shopping for another pot soon - and will NOT be a Melitta unless they respond well to the customer complaint I'll be submitting once my Christmas holiday company leaves next week.

Your system is under designed for the application. How far is the hot water going from the heaters, and being recirculated? My guess is you've exceeded the over length for your setup. Or possibly something's effecting your system. I.E. One units out or you have pipe that not insulated. Your tank heaters is on and heating at full power constantly, that's the only thing that will burn the elements so fast, under normal conditions the elements last 10years. Sometimes water quality can affect the length of time a element will last. But it's really rare to have to replace them that fast. Hard to say what will fix it without details. These little things are designed to go under a sink and heat just enough water to wash your hands etc... Not heat a whole house.

I timed it by filling it to the "max" line, which is over 2x 1 cup but I wanted to get the longest reading possible. It boiled and shut off in almost 5 minutes exactly (4:58). Keep in mind, that was for 17 ounces and the tap water is especially cold right now so I can't imagine it EVER taking any longer.

Mainly due to the impeller. The top portion must not be working. Did you plug the system in? If you can't here any water movement or the system running, then it has malfunction. Try changing the impeller first.

I haven't experienced this. Is the water level getting low or have you noticed that the "Steam Ready" indicator light is off (meaning that you have used up the available steam and must wait for the unit to build up steam) ? Other than that, I can't think of a reason for the situation you describe.

My unit stopped working after only a month. I tried to follow all the steps to fix it, but none of them worked. You may want to see if you have some hard water deposits. I decided to use distilled water to keep the deposits from building up. It worked...until the unit itself stopped working altogether.

You are better at reading directions than I am. I always use high heat to bring water to boil. Have used this way for 10 months without any problems. However, I immediately take kettle off burner when it reaches boiling.I imagine that using a lower setting to boil will probably make it last somewhat longer.

I would recommend you pour straight vinegar nt the bottom of the unit and let it sit for 2 hoursThen put some water in the container and see if it turns onDo not empty the vinegar from the bottom let it run through Sort of like when you clean your coffee pot I do not use distiller water but I do regularly use the white vinegar Mine runs like a charm but it will shut down if residue builds up

Boil it longer. It will return to it liquid state when boiled long enough. Also just a tip... Just because you see it liquid does not mean you shoul take it out of the pot. Let it boil about ten minutes longer once it has liquified. Then it will stay liquid

I haven't bought the burner yet since I'm waiting for someone else to confirm how much you can boil with it! I have my first extract kit waiting on the shelf for the new year. An acquaintance is going to come over and walk me through the process. I expect we'll do the same thing you are start with a half-portion and dilute it.I make hard cider, so the only high-cost item I had to buy was a wort cooler. Please let me know how the burner performs! I'd like to be able to do some of the work out of the kitchen...Al

First question are you using distilled water? Any other water will partially plug ducts and spit and sputter. Second, is it fully heated? If not then give it five more minutes or so. If it is still not working as it should, your machine needs some repair. My machine provides continuous steam. Good luck...when working properly, the machine is great!

I have boiled mine.. and I have not. No noticeable difference although when you boil a bunch of it at a time it does release stuff into the water whether it is natural stuff or not. I usually boil for 5 mins. dump water out and boil again for a few minutes.
