Bodum Premature Brew Cycle Termination

Bodum coffee maker brews only a small amount of coffee even though the reservoir is full.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty water level sensor, Control board miscounting brew time, Airlock in boiler, Overheat thermostat tripping early

Safety first: Unplug and cool before internal checks.

Steps to try:

Run multiple cycles: Try running two consecutive brew cycles with water only to purge air from the system.
Descale: Perform a full descaling to remove scale that can cause overheating and early shutoff.
Reset electronics: Unplug the unit for 15 minutes to reset the control board.

If the machine consistently stops early, the water level sensor or control board may be faulty and require replacement.
