The Hamilton Beach FlexBrew 49979 coffee maker may not be brewing coffee due to several reasons. Here are the steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: 1. Check the piercing needle: The piercing needle may be clogged, preventing the coffee from brewing. Remove the gray removable needle holder and clean the piercing needle as shown on page 6 of the manual. 2. Clean the coffee maker: Mineral deposits can build up and affect the brewing process. Follow the directions in the Care and Cleaning section of the manual to clean the coffee maker. 3. Ensure sufficient water: Make sure you have added at least 6 oz (177 ml) of water to the reservoir. Insufficient water can prevent the coffee maker from brewing. 4. Check coffee quality and freshness: Poor coffee quality or stale coffee can affect the taste and brewing process. Use fresh, high-quality coffee for the best results. 5. Consider water quality: Poor water quality can also impact the taste of the coffee. Use filtered or bottled water for better results. 6. Adjust coffee grounds: If there is coffee sediment in the cup, try using a more coarsely ground coffee or add a #1 paper cone coffee filter to the brew basket. Ensure that the hinged lid is closed on the removable brew basket. 7. Avoid overfilling: If water is overflowing from the brew basket, use the removable brew basket with a lid for ground coffee. Use a lesser amount of ground coffee, as 3 tablespoons (44 ml) is the maximum amount recommended. 8. Address overflowing from the mug or travel mug: To prevent coffee overflowing from a mug or travel mug, use the same mug or travel mug to brew into that was used to fill the water reservoir. Do not add more than 14 ounces (414 ml) of water. If there is additional water in the system causing overflow, remove the brew basket or single-serve pack holder and press and hold the BREW REG or BREW BOLD button to remove any remaining water. 9. Remove excess water: If there is water remaining in the reservoir, it may be due to adding too much or too little water. Place a cup or travel mug on the drip tray, remove the single-serve pack, replace the brew basket, and repeat the brewing cycle. Press and hold the BREW REG or BREW BOLD button to remove any remaining water. 10. Consider single-serve pack bursts: If the coffee single-serve pack bursts, it may be due to variability in the manufacturing process. Try using a different brand of single-serve pack.
