Coffee maker is extremely slow to brew; a full pot takes significantly longer than normal.

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before cleaning.

• Descale: Run at least one full descaling cycle with a vinegar-water solution, allowing soak time mid-cycle. Heavy buildup may require two cycles.
• Clean showerhead: Remove the brew basket and clean the water outlet holes or showerhead above it with a brush or toothpick to clear mineral deposits.
• Rinse reservoir and inlet: Clean the reservoir and its bottom valve/screen thoroughly.
• Test brew time: After descaling and cleaning, run a full pot of water and time the brew. If still abnormally slow, the pump may be weak and need replacement.
