I noticed my filter basket has coffee ground buildup. There are old coffee ground bits built up on my filter basket. Could this be the problem? How do I fix it?

Braun Aromaster KF440: Why does the coffee maker drip when I move the pot?

Sometimes I try to pour a cup of coffee while the coffee maker is still brewing. In the past when I’ve done this, the machine will stop brewing while I poured, but now it keeps brewing and drips onto the hot plate.

Braun: How do I open up this five slot screw/bolt and fix my coffee grinder?

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 10:36:20 -0700

Hey! I have a Braun coffee grinder type 3045. This morning, it blew a fuse and I saw a small blue spark, so I want to take it apart and see if I can spot the fault. Thanks to a diagram and a photo of a replacement part, I was able to find three snap fit joints and take off the first part. Then, I could just screw off the upper burr stone. However, now I’m faced with three screws (I think) with screw heads I haven’t seen before and can’t quickly find online, either.

They have five slots which become shallower towards the center. This rules out flat screw drivers already, so I’m not sure how to unscrew this. Any ideas?

Update T+30mins: The outer diameter of the head is slightly over 8mm.

Braun: Can't access heating element

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 02:07:54 -0700

My Braun coffeemaker (I don’t have the model # or name) failed this morning. Water doesn’t seem to be heating so the heating element or system is suspect.

but I cannot see how to remove the black plastic bottom plate. I used my tamper proof screwdriver head kit to remove the one obvious screw from the bottom.

but, removing the top water tank assembly I can see the black plastic area, but cannot get it out.

has anyone tackled one like this?
