Hi,

I teied to find an answer for you and went to their website. Theys ay that the brewer needs to be descaled. The link below will bring you to thier site and I also pasted the excerpt below. It should still be under warranty too I think if you have only had it for six months. I pasted their number below.

De-Scaling Your Brewer:
Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the mineral content of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your Brewer. Scale is non-toxic, but left unattended, it can hinder Brewer performance. De-scaling your Brewer helps maintain the heating element and other internal parts of the Brewer that come in contact with water. The Brewer should be de-scaled every 3-6 months to ensure optimal performance or when there are white deposits in the Cold Water Reservoir. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often. Please reference your Brewer’s Owner’s Manual for specific de-scaling instructions.

My water light remains on and I cannot make coffee. The unit is filled to the maximum with water. It won't let the water pass through. How can I get it to work again?

Brand of coffee maker? Could need cleaning with vinegar run through. Most have a clean feature but run with just 1/2 water and vinegar several times.

Adjust water level. electric control turns off early.

It may need de-scaling. When my Keurig did what yours is doing, I filled the reservoir 3/4 way with white vinegar, and ran the machine repeatedly until it all passed through. I then re-used that vinegar and did the whole pass through 3 more times. that cleared it up. Did that 9 months ago. Use: 6 cups/day.
One other source of this problem are the metal pieces that punctures the top and bottom of the K-cup. Coffee grinds can find their way in there, and can be cleaned out with a paper clip or mini-pipe cleaner. But clogging of the bottom puncturer usually results in overflow, unless the top is also blocked.
Good Luck

Cuisinart dgb-650

In an empty machine,(no coffee, no filter), pour in a 50-50 mixture of water and white vinegar. Allow the machine to start brewing and when a cup or so has run through, stop the brewing process and let it sit for an hour or two. This should dissolve some of calcium buildup in the machine and allow it to complete a full cycle. May have to do this a couple of times to fully clean out the mineral buildup. After cleaning, run a pot of clear water through to rinse out the remaining vinegar.

My machine gets slower & slower as I use it (over a few weeks). I clean it with vinegar regularly, (which sometimes improves it and sometimes doesn't seem to make much difference) and my husband has...

hi there! Try to use a filter for your water (and not tap water)! Here in France we call it a Brita! it filters out scale and other unwanted substances! And if possible do not use vinegar to clean your Gaggia but a professional cleaner/de-scaler! go to joegloe homepage!

Miele descaling funnel?

DO NOT USE THAT MUCH VINEGAR! Put a tiny bit of vinegar in the carafe and fill carafe the rest of the way with water. Run that vinegar/water through machine. Using another container, fill machine with plain water and run that through. Repeat until the vinegar taste is gone. If you do not run lots of plain water through the machine after, your coffee will taste like...um...disgusting! Also, use a spell-checker before improving this posting.
**************
To clean hard water deposits from a coffee maker use distilled white vinegar. You may need to use as much as a gallon if the scale buildup is really bad. Fill clean coffee pot one half full of vinegar and run through machine as if making coffee. Repeat this process several times using fresh vinegar until it comes out clear. Do this once a week and your maker will work much better. **************
Use citric acid or LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE instead of vinegar. It cleans just as well but doesn't leave the funky odor that vinegar does. You can run enough water to get rid of the vinegar taste, but the odor will linger for days or weeks. Much better to use lemon juice concentrate (no pulp!!) or one of the commercial products like the one available from Starbucks.

My coffee maker works very slowly after about three weeks of use. Specifically, the water does not pass through the filter and into the pot quickly, if at all. Suggestions?

Try cleaning it with white vinegar. Put in one cup with a potful of water, and let it soak. To get more cleaning, pour the water/vinegar through again, hot. Put in a coffee filter to catch/strain the debris, and you will be able to see if it's helping. When you're through cleaning, pass fresh water through the machine by potfuls, until no traces of vinegar can be detected.
Best regards, --W/D--
