Question 1

is the bella dots coffee maker supposed to have an auto-on feature? i can't get it to work

Accepted Answer

Yeah, it's programmable for Auto On and Off. The machine is totally programmable to brew a consistent brew even before you get up in the morning. You set the Time and Date on the LCD touchscreen to schedule it.

Question 2

bella dots 12 cup programmable coffee maker leaking water from the bottom, what gives?

Accepted Answer

First, make sure the brew basket is properly locked into place. If it's loose, water can bypass it. Next, check that the reusable filter is clean and seated correctly in the basket. A clog or misalignment can cause overflow. Finally, ensure you're not exceeding the 12-cup maximum fill line. Overfilling is a common cause of leaks.
