Question 1

my mr coffee mini brew coffeemaker is making a loud noise and not brewing right. what do i check?

Accepted Answer

Confirm these conditions: The appliance is on a hard, flat, level surface. The area above the appliance is clear during use. The water reservoir is not empty. The carafe is centered on the warming plate. All lids are closed during the brew cycle. If the issue persists, the appliance has no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing beyond cleaning must be performed by an Authorized Service Representative.

Question 2

the glass carafe on my mr coffee 5-cup maker feels super fragile, how do i not break it?

Accepted Answer

Yeah, the glass carafe is a common point of failure. A few hard rules. Discard it immediately if you find any crack or chip. Protect it from sharp blows and rough handling. Don't use harsh abrasive cleaners—scratches can cause it to break. It's top-rack dishwasher safe only. Also, avoid sudden temperature changes; don't rinse a hot carafe with cold water.

Question 3

how do i clean the inside of my mr coffee sc05? it's starting to taste weird.

Accepted Answer

You need to decalcify it with white vinegar to remove mineral deposits. Pour 4 cups (20 fl. oz.) of undiluted white vinegar into the water reservoir. Place an empty paper filter in the brew basket, put the empty carafe on the warming plate, and run a brew cycle. Turn it off and let it stand for 30 minutes. Discard the vinegar, rinse the carafe, then run two full cycles (5 cups each) of clean water through the machine to rinse it. Frequency: Do this every 40 brew cycles for hard water, or every 80 cycles for soft water.

Question 4

my mr coffee mini brew switch coffee maker is leaking water from the bottom. what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

First, make sure the appliance is unplugged and has cooled completely. You'll want to check a few things. 1. Place the coffeemaker on a hard, flat, level surface. An uneven surface can interrupt airflow and potentially cause issues. 2. Do not operate it with an empty water tank. Always make sure there's water in the reservoir before turning it on. 3. Check the glass carafe. If it is cracked or chipped at all, you must discard it immediately and get a new one. Do not use a damaged carafe.

Question 5

my mr coffee 5 cup mini brew coffee maker won't turn on at all, no light, nothing. help?

Accepted Answer

The plug is polarized. One blade is wider than the other. If it doesn't fit the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still doesn't fit, contact an electrician. Do not modify the plug. Check the cord for damage. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug. Unplug it and return it to an Authorized Service Center for repair. Do not attempt to splice or replace the cord yourself.
