I have the same problem, I have been totally unable to clean the fog completely, instead I rub a tiny bit of cooking oil on it and it clears and will read barcodes again. Only a short term fix though.

Same problem, used descaler as instructed and all was solved and brewing back to normal:)

Yessir, you need a t-disc to use it, because the machine reads the bar code that is imprinted on the aluminum lid of the t-disc to get instructions of how hot the water should be, and how much water should be used for the beverage you're qnting to prepare. no t-disc, no drink, no working machine. it's that simple.

Try cleaning the peircing mechanism (and around it) and making sure it is sitting snug. Sometimes mine comes off when I lift the lid to add a t-disc and this can cause some problems including grinds in the cup.

You may need to get a new peircing mechanism from Braun - if you've only had it for a month they should replace it.

Try cleaning the light sensor that reads the barcode on the disk. If it is dirty, some of the discs won't work. Also, try holding the water canister down with your hand while the coffee is brewing. If the canister vibrates, the lights may blink.

Hi,
Have you tried using bottled water? I had the same problem and found that Spring water tasted the best.

Try http://www.theessentials.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&itemID=1060 they have it.

Return it, I called Tassimo & it's a problem.
