Possible Causes

Scale buildup in heater or tubing, Clogged pod, Flow meter misreading, User-selected size not stored correctly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Try different pod:

  • Test with a new pod from a different batch to rule out pod blockage.

Descale:

  • Run a full descaling cycle to clear internal restrictions.

Reset volume (if supported):

  • Some KitchenAid single-serve models allow resetting brew volumes; consult the manual and reprogram the desired size.

If underfilling continues, the flow meter or control board calibration may be faulty and require service.
