Brewing starts, stops, starts, etc on my Braun Coffee Maker 4077

If all the indicator lights are flashing after you've initialized your machine, reset it by turning it off and then on. If there's no disk in the brewing mechanism, all the indicator lights will flash.Sep 5, 2020

Time to start looking at coffee makers, sir. It likely could be fixed, but it would be best to simply get a new one.

mcdevito75 here, It may need to be cleaned, water used to brew coffee leaves deposits in brewing holes, refer to owners manual for cleaning instructions.

I have no solution, however I have the same problem. Wondering if you have resolved the problem yet?

Possibly all you need is to clean off the bar code reader window. It's right under where the bar code on the t-disc ends up. A little dried milk, etc., can cause your symptom.

I would have change the filter frist.

check water heater

I have the same machine, Braun KF180 12 Cup Coffee Maker. In normal operation the brew cycle is stopped when the water reservoir is empty. The only way the coffee maker knows if that is true is when the water-brewing heater gets too hot. Your brewing heater is probably encrusted with calcium deposits if you have been heavily using the coffee maker. Vinegar will work but it is weak and you will have to cycle this solution through many many times. You should instead use "Lime Away" or "CLR" and let it sit there in a brew cycle or multiple brew cycles for a while. NOTE: Remove the filter when cleaning this way and when the brew cycle is complete, rinse thoroughly -- your taste buds will let you know if the machine is not rinsed thoroughly. -- Good Luck!!

Finally, I got my coffee pot to run through without stopping several times. To fix it I had to run vinegar through eight times! Never before has it taken so many cycles to clean out a pot. It is still spluttering a bit so today I am going to get more vinegar or maybe even CLR and run it through a few more times.

I assume You are talking about the water-brewing heater thereare two, the second is the heater that warms the coffee pot (I think!). When the water-heater is encrusted with calcium deposits it "thinks" that the water reservoir is emptyand ceases the brew cycle. water boils at 212 degF and the heater will go to a much higher temperature. I will leave you with the same solution as was posted to another problem that may have similar cause:
