Coffee maker brews but no coffee or water drips into the carafe; water seems to stay in the filter basket.

Safety: Wait until brewing stops and the unit cools slightly before opening the basket to avoid burns.

• Check carafe alignment: Ensure the Braun carafe is pushed fully back so its lid presses the drip stop lever.
• Clean drip stop: Remove the filter basket and manually move the drip stop plunger up and down under warm running water to clear grounds.
• Inspect for damage: Look for cracks or warping in the basket that could prevent the valve from opening.
• Test with water: Reassemble and run a water‑only cycle to confirm proper dripping.

If the drip stop mechanism is broken or does not move freely even after cleaning, replace the filter basket assembly.
