I have noticed that some of the coffee is leaked into the collector basket. In between the nossle and the brewing unit. I have taken the machine apart and tried to install a new brewing unit but some coffe Is still leaked into the collector basket. I have tried to clean the plate that punctures the pod but still coffee leakage happens. Any idea what could cause this and how I can fix it?

I found mentions of the motor not being properly aligned.

The official FAQ states: The motor might not be in the correct position. Check if the water tank is filled and if the drip tray is in place. Turn the appliance OFF and then ON again. Then simultaneously press the button for My-Coffee and the on/off button for more than 2 seconds. The motor will move into the correct position. Insert the brewing unit again and check that it is correctly locked in position.

However, this proposed solution did not reset the motor position in my case.

I found that the locking handle of the brewing unit moves a metal lever.

This metal lever engages a button in the machine.

By carefully pressing this button (i used the handle of a small spoon), the motor reset to the correct position.

Long story short: I don't have a question, and just wanted to post this here for future reference.

The handle/lid area seems like a likely candidate, but I cannot see any obvious anchor points or hooks where it should be reattached. Where exactly does this spring belong, and what are the steps to reattach it? Does it require partial disassembly of the head/handle housing to access the mounting points?

I am troubleshooting a professional coffee machine (Melitta C35) control board based on the Freescale ColdFire MCF5232CVM100 (BGA package). The system is currently stuck at the initial "Please wait" screen and does not proceed to the main menu.

Hardware Details & Measurements:

·         MCU: MCF5232CVM100 (ColdFire V2 Core).

·         Flash: cFeon EN29LV160 (TSOP-48).

·         Power Rails:

o    VDD (Core): Measured 1.6V on the micro-capacitors surrounding the MCF5232.

o    VDDIO/Periphery: Stable 3.3V found across the board.

o    Analog/Other: 5V rail is present.

·         RTC Battery: Measured 3.29V (stable).

·         Debug Interfaces: The board provides a standard 26-pin ColdFire BDM header AND a 10-pin (2x5) Mini-BDM connector.

·         Service Port: External 9-pin RS-232 (DCE, Female).

Symptoms:

1.    On power-up, the display initializes and shows "Please wait".

2.    The board has a Reset button that toggles the 3.3V line, but the MCU remains in the same "Please wait" state after reset.

3.    I measured -5.6V on the TX pin of the RS-232 port, which indicates that the line driver is powered and the UART is likely initialized by the bootloader.

Questions for the community:

1.    Given that the display shows "Please wait", is it safe to assume the MCU has successfully initialized the FlexBus and started executing code from the external Flash?

2.    What are the typical reasons for a ColdFire V2 to hang at this stage? Could it be a checksum mismatch in the Flash or a timeout waiting for a peripheral (I2C/SPI)?

3.    Does the presence of both 10-pin and 26-pin BDM headers imply any specific debugging priority? Is one more suitable for a USBDM interface to dump the cFeon Flash?

4.    Are there any known "trap" states or Double Bus Fault indicators I can check via the BDM pins without a full debugger?

Thank you, Alex

This is my third machine I’ve received from Keurig support and it’s still happening. I’ve done all the needle cleaning, reseting, descaling, and many other fixes. The unit is not even 3 months old.

I’m just at a loss of what to do because I don’t see many people having the same problem. I’m also sick and tired of wasting perfectly good K Cups! Anybody have ideas how to permanently fix this?

EDIT & SOLUTION: I've been able to resolve the issue using a work around. This is not a fix and I don't know why Keurig hasn't fixed it after years of this happening.

When using a milk based K Cup, press it into the bottom by hand so the K Cup is punctured. Pull it up and rotate 90º and close the lid. This gives the K Cup two holes and much less pressure. It has worked perfectly since I've been doing this.
