Great video Brie. Just couple of things we learned. The instructions for the charcoal filters says to soak in a cup of clean water apart from the machine until thoroughly wet the then rinse quickly with clean water. We've noticed that a little bit of the charcoal might rinse away so it feels cleaner when putting it into the filter basket. Also, we have very hard water here and our coffee makers would burn out in less than a year so we started using a water distiller to make pure water for the Cuisinart and now it is still going strong after many years.
I was ready to go shopping tomorrow for a new one. I decided to see if anyone had anything to say about this topic. You nailed it and I am now enjoying a fresh brewed hot coco. Thank you.
Thank you SO much for this tutorial! I was so sad, thinking my machine was broken. You, my dear, are a genius! I followed your instructions on cleaning the little K cup holder and that did the trick. Thank you, thank you!! 🤗
Thank you for saving me lots of time. I was just about to call the service then saw your post. The vinegar is the trick! It is working perfectly! Thank you again!
Thank you! Steps 1 & 2 got my 83 yrs old Dad's machine back up and running! Need to do other steps later but machine is working! You are AWESOME! And love your accent!🙂
Can't thank you enough! All I needed to do was unplug it for a minute or two and it was running like new again! Also, I didn't realize I should be changing the filter. Awesome Advice! Thanks again!!
I enjoyed your video, Brie, even though it didn't fully address the reason I visited. Love your 'everyday' language presentation -- you had me at 'unplug the machine for a few minutes to get rid of the heebie-jeebies'!! Don't bury us in tech-speak! LOL! I was impressed with your ability to just talk-to-the-camera and describe each step of the progress without stumbling. It's surprisingly difficult to make a video like this without getting tongue-tied, making mistakes and starting over again. (It's what keeps me from posting videos!) So -- good job! And, if I might make a personal comment without offending you -- you have very lovely white teeth!
Thank you so much! This video was before I even knew How to edit (my editing skills are still questionable) so I just had to keep trucking! Can I ask what's wrong with your machine? Would love to try to help fix it! Have a phenomenal day!
@@BrieOCD Hi, Brie. Ran a descale recently, and the alert didn't clear. But I ran it from memory, just pressing the Hot Water button to start the process. Just started it again, this time according to directions, pressing/holding both Hot Water and Rinse. At the end of the first 12oz of the cycle, the descale msg disappeared. When in doubt, follow instructions! 😉 Thanks for the offer of help, and may you also have a great day!
We have an SS-20 (combination 10 cup and single cup), and your instruction worked great! I was about ready to replace it! Thank you! We owe you a cup (probably way more)!
This worked on a machine like what she has. I bought it for $20 at a yard sale for a local women's shelter. It had been stored for a while, months - - maybe even a year. So, there was a musty smell to the water that came out when I just brewed without coffee. I tried just 2 cups of vinegar, but there was still a bit of a musty smell. So, I did the half vinegar and half water. I had to fill the reservoir at least 4 times, probably 5 before it didn't smell like vinegar. I didn't have the musty smell anymore either. I also cleaned the screens on the water filter while I was "descaling" with just really hot water and a clean sponge. Thank you for this video.
Whohoo! Yes good thing you kept going until you were sure there was no more vinegar! I have had a sip of vinegar coffee and it is DISGUSTING 😂. Happy coffee drinking!!
Oh it's most definitely DISGUSTING!!!! I usually go a bit over board on rinsing any coffee maker after cleaning it out with vinegar - - for that very reason. It's been YEARS since I tasted just a little bit of it in my coffee and I can still taste it just thinking about it.... Lol Thank you, so far so good.
Great Advice I started using “Brew Rite” which had worked in the past .After running a cycle of that Mixture, I still was not getting hot water or Brew to work. I took your advice on Descaling ...the 50-50 mix of vinegar and water and ran through rinse several times it was now working . I alternated between hot water & Brew and continued until all the vinegar smell was gone . Thank you.
Thank you for posting this video. To the point. my issue was cleaning the holes in the upper needle with a paper clip. I had no flow whatsoever. Excellent
Thanks a lot for the video my problem was as simple as the previous person who filled the machine must have knocked the filter housing loose. I took the opportunity to replace the filter while I was there. Thanks again.
I used a dry toothbrush to brush out all the coffee from the parts then tried the paper clip (mine were cute colored ones so I had to use scissors to cut off the coating so it would go up far enough) and voila!!! it worked!!! had to run a couple cups of just water but now it's fully functional! Thank you!!!
Ordered filters and am about to try alllll if these steps! I wanted to cry when it started this slow drip crap 🥴🥴 I’ve done the paper clip thing, but I need all the above I thing. You are awesome and I love your personality! Thanks girl!! 💚💚
Do you still have this machine? Seriously. I bought mine in 2011 & it stalls from time to time as yours, but thanks to the thoural vid you posted, I just run the steps. This time mine wouldn’t dispense water by brewing, so I ran the hot water and vinegar by “hot water “ and “rinse” options. After running two cycles of the vinegar solution, I depressed the brew and wholly! The brew cycle was working again. I love this thing. 😉💖
I thank you for the excellent video, it helped me a lot for my keuring k155 coffee maker because the ounces of water were not good for me... now it works excellent, thank you 🙏💙
To remove the K-cup holder just lift up on the back of it. To descale this I use Citric Acid, it does a great job of descaling, I use the Citric Acid to descale my distillers, it will not hurt you. Vinegar should work too but not as good. Enjoyed the video.
I'm sure you are aware, great video. I love mine too, i have this machine. The kcup holder you pop out at the bottom pops open too, The discharge needle can be cleaned easier and you can really get at the coffee oil build up.
Ahahaha! So happy! That’s the goal, to help! Whether it’s getting your coffee machine up and running or just putting a smile on your face. Hope you had a great day today!
OMG, I was ready to buy a new SS10. I love it but it growls loudly at me. I will try all that you said. Plus, you're so cute, I may just watch your video for kicks. "Bad Larry"!!! You should do videos for all household machines (dryer, washer, dishwasher, etc) for when they go on the fritz. Anyway, I will give all of it a shot and see if I can get my SS10 to stop growling at me. TOO LOUD first thing in the morning. Two thumbs and one toe up.
Thank you! I think if you get a k cup that is defective inside of, if for some reason, the lower needle does not puncture the bottom of the K-cup you get back pressure that pushes coffee grounds back up into the middle of the water supply needle Your hint about the Paper clip seems to have fixed our 2012 machine. Thanks again!!
Love the NY accent. Thanks for the vid. My parents had this unit. (They went out and bought a new one) I'll try these steps before tossing it out. Seems the pump is failing. They had good use out of it. Also, Bonjour du Canada! ;)
If you aren't planning on changing the filter then take it out (you don't want vinegar running through that thing and then getting into your coffee). The filters are cheap on Amazon though. I still have my pack that I bought AGES ago!
If you run the vineger full strength it will clean better. Then when your resevoir is flashing leave in on for atleast 4 hours so it can clean the heating element inside. Then run clean water through it. I promise it will run good as new. Stay safe out there.
After watching this video, I realized that I had forgotten to clean out the upper needle in my iCoffee coffee maker when I was cleaning & descaling it this morning. Whipped out a paper clip, cleaned that needle, and my iCoffee is now brewing full-sized cups again. I may not have to upgrade to a Cuisinart SS-10 yet after all!
Don't insert the paper clip too far into the top metal spear or you can damage the hose. Also, for the actual Cuisinart SS-10FR model, after you fill the reservoir with the water/vinegar mix, press the Hot Water and the Rinse buttons at the same time. This will turn off the "descale" alert on the screen. Enjoyed your Lon Guyland accent, now I have to go make a cuppa cawfee.
Thank you so much for this tip! DH was Descaling my machine and the message would not go away. Even though he found the booklet and instructions, he somehow missed that he should push both buttons. So he descaled it twice and seems like he would have gone on indefinitely descaling had I not noticed your comment and referred him back to the instructions. Ta da!
If screen is stuck on OPEN HEAD, clean the micro switch - I just solved this problem. Open the brewing head. On the right side you will see a small switch that clicks back when the head is closed. It should click back and forth easily. But over time, coffee grime will clock this. I used and paperclip to scrape out what i could while pushing the switch/button back and forth. As soon as you have it cleaned, pushing the button back will cause the screen change you're expecting to see with the head closed. This should be in the troubleshooting section of the manual.
Good, but question: where does the water go when you use the ‘rinse’ feature? It must use water to rinse... but I can’t figure out if it goes somewhere or is such a small amount that it evaporates?
Hi Kenneth! When I use the rinse feature the water comes out the front just like when you brew or use the hot water function. You should see some grinds as well because it is rinsing out the internal mechanisms.
Excellent reply@@BrieOCD - I appreciate the 'real world' video and have my first K-Cup coffee maker, this one, the Cuisinart SS 10 shipped and on it's way right now... so looking forward to. I imagine then, when you RINSE you would put a cup below the head to catch the rinse water and grounds also... Thank You for your help!
I did everything that was mentioned and it still doesn’t work. EE0 always comes on. I pressed rinse and hot water together to reset and nothing. I turned it upside down and got the air out and it still doesn’t work. Can’t descale because no water comes out.
Hey lovely lady, I have a question maybe you can help me out? My unit has 3 different coffee sizes that just blink. It won't brew anything. I've tried cleaning and it won't even go on. I'm ready to throw it out. What can you tell me? Thanks in advance.
I Have Same Machine And Mine Did The Same Thing I Cleaned It Out And I Descal It And It Still Sayes To Descal Witch I Did Serveral Times And It Still Sayes To Descal I Did Everything And It Still Sayes To Descal I'm At The Point Where I'm Ready To Throw It Out In The Trash I Think There's Something Wrok With It Do You Think I Try Any Thing Else To Fix It Please Let Me Know Thanks
TRY THIS: Try pressing the hot water button for 6 seconds to reset the machine. If that doesn’t work, press/hold down BOTH the hot water AND rinse button at the same time. At the end of the “brew” the descale message should disappear! After descaling, turn the unit off and unplug for 30-60 minutes. Then plug the machine back in, turn it on. When you go to brew the descale light should turn off. If not you might have a defective unit and should then call Cuisinart customer service directly at 1-800-726-0190.
@@BrieOCD Thank You So Much It Worked I Was At The Point To Where I Was Going To Throw It Out But Then I Went On TH-cam See See This Video It Was Help Full This Video Was The Last Restore I Can't Thank You Enough Because It Worked And I Didn't Want To Throw It Out But Thank You And God Bless You
@@BrieOCD Thanks to you I have just made a great cuppa cawfee I found that it was not my machine but the pods I was using I got the all in one completely recyclable ones , they flow through so slow the machine would time out. So I have started using the refillable container and hey presto it flows great and the Cawfee is amazing.
Have your machine show the letters EEA in the led display? I was trying to descale it, and I was unable to finish the process because of that code. Any help or suggestions are welcome.
Brie OCD the new one is noisy no light in the water tank,less water tank.and it drives me crazy I so wish I had not got rid of that one.mine I had descaled and cleaned but still ran so slow.I thought the new one would be just as nice .Um NOT
All cuisinart products have gone to H eck. my mixer 7 quart 12 speed 2 uses and is broke.So sad whats happened to their products well all appliances really
Lori Clyburn hey Lori! They fit and work perfectly! If you have an updated model I would just look at your current filter. Does it look the same? If so you should be good to go. They all do the same thing so If the shape looks the same go for it!
Great video, thanks... But today my spouse brewed a cup , and it worked ok, we never turn ours off , it just turns off automatically, anyway she said that the coffee maker just started brewing on its own, and it was only brewing COLD water... It also will not stop brewing cold water , if its plugged in it just starts shooting out cold water, not sure what to do or if anyone can help.. Ive tried unplugging and the paper clip thing. Everytime i plug it in cold water comes out until the reservoir is empty. UGGGH
I never had a clogging problem. My problem is that that “sharp” needless are no longer sharp. It doesn’t puncture the top and bottom of the k-cup very well anymore. I bought mine in 2019.
@@BrieOCD Actually yes. I assumed it was a 1-year warranty, but I just checked, and it’s a 3-year. Thank you for asking, or I wouldn’t have thought of it and would have spent money on a new machine.
I would try again. And then if still nothing call Cuisinart and maybe they can help youyroubleshoot or maybe it will fall under manufacturer's warranty. Good luck! 🤞🏼
You're welcome! Hopefully you're drinking some delicious coffee as we speak!! I literally have it on my to do list to descale mine today bc it was acting funky 3 days ago. I unplugged it in between coffee makings but it's time to clean it! ☕️
Hi Dan! Mine is definitely the ss-10 but it's OLD! I've had this model since 2008 and love it. The big water chamber and cup sizes are my main reasons for the love.
Hi there, the brand is Cuisinart ss-10 (as labeled on my video). It is a licensed product of Keurig and uses the Keurig cups. Not sure what you are looking for or need by your comment?
That is an SS700, I had one still in the backyard, I loved it anyway but it is dead, now I have the SS 10 and it is working but the descale message won't go away I descaled three times now, doing every step you said and nothing. Do you know have to get rid of the descale message?
Hi Manuel! Try holding down the hot water button for 6 seconds (or maybe a little longer). It should go off! Keep me posted! Would love to know if it worked for you!
Hi, thanks for replying soon. It didn't work ☹️, but thanks anyway, your video it is pretty good. If I find the solution I will let you know. I tried to hold the button by 20 seconds, I tried each button in case. Too bad Cuisinart don't make more the 700 it was pretty great. Thanks again.
@@LaRaza4evee We agree with you, we loved the 700. It isn't brewing like it should so we purchased a new one, but it doesn't work the same. We keep hoping we can get the old one going again. We have the same issue with the descale light on the new one.
Just bought this Cuisinart 3220...set it up. make first time no problem....washed all the parts according to the instruction booklet and now cannot get the filter basket comopaart to get in machine and close the door of the machine...for an expensive coffee maker this is a mess!!!!
Some video instructions say to use 60 Oz vinegar undiluted, some say 20 Oz vinegar diluted with 40 Oz or water, and another says equal parts (half vinegar and half water). Some say to wait 4 hours prior to rinsing out the vinegar, and others rinse out the vinegar right away. I wish there was one safest way to actually descale and prolong the life of the machine (and not just how to remove the indicator light).
I just fill the chamber about half and half. I wouldn't stress. Mine isn't about the light its about getting the machine to work again. I literally only descale when coffee won't come out and I've had mine since 2010. If you want to always keep it healthy just descale on a schedule like once a quarter or every 6 months and you’ll be good!
Lol thank you! Hopefully you're drinking some delicious coffee as we speak!! I literally have it on my to do list to descale mine today bc it was acting funky 3 days ago. I unplugged it in between coffee makings but it's time to clean it! ☕️
I did everything you said and it's still DEAD no easy no pzzz just DOA. by the way your machine is the Cuisinart SS -700 not the SS-10 i had mine for 6 years. after talking to Cuisinart they told me that the pump is gone and they no longer have any replacement pumps . best thing they could do was give me a great discount on a newer model the SS-10
Yep, and if your car doesn't start, just open a door for a few minutes, then close it, then walk away for an hour, then come back and open the door again, doesn't start, roll down a window, roll it up again, doesn't start then walk away again. Then don't bother trying to start it again, just walk away and buy another car.
Some say 60 Oz vinegar undiluted, some say 20 Oz vinegar diluted with 40 Oz or water, and here you say equal parts (30 Oz vinegar and 30 Oz water). I wish it was one safest way. Some say wait 4 hours and others rinse out the vinegar right away. From Cuisinart video they suggest: th-cam.com/video/S9jYo5TSx4I/w-d-xo.html
If you have a Cuisinart SS700 throw it in trash, biggest POS! I have tried all trouble shooting and nothing works, just brews 1/4 cup coffee everytime. Whats worse I contacted Cuisinart and they care nothing about customers, wouldnt even assist in telling me what COULOD be wromng, just said its out of warranty. If I knew a machine I spent $225 on would break in 3 yrs 2 months I would NEVER have wasted my money!
I just googled it (I'm sure you did too) Your described problem may be one of two problems. Let's start with the easier solution first. In the DCC 1200 there is a filter "stick or column" in the left rear. Pull it out and remove the clogged carbon filter(s) that are in there. Shine a light into the receptacle and remove the debris in the bottom. It is likely that this is causing the problem with you machine needing to be started on multiple times. See if this solution works. If it does, you might run 8 cups of water and 4 cups of vinegar through to help decalcify the units plumbing. Do this once or twice and then rinse with at least one pot run-through of clean water. If this works then you are good to go. Next, if this does not solve your problem we can do the following: unplug the unit and lay it on its back. You will need a #10 torx driver (hardware store if you don't have one) to remove the bottom cover plate. There are 4 torx screws holding it on. When removed, you will find 2 orange hoses. Carefully attempt to remove the left hose without splitting. I used a eyeglas screwdriver to loosen it up. If it splits, just cut off the split and stretch it to reconnect when time comes. As you look into the hose you will find a little black valve inside as well a some gunk. Clean it all out with a fine wire as best you can. Rinse well. Attempt to reconnect the hose back onto the pipe. Slip the pipe clamp back into place. Replace the cover and screws and you should be good to go again. This is not as daunting as it may seem. You can do it.
It's a Cuisinart machine that uses the brand Keurig cups. It's the same. If you just say a Cuisinart that could mean any Cuisinart machine. If you call it a Keurig people know I am making coffee. 🤷🏻♀️
I'll agree that this isn't the procedure prescribed in the manual, but it's effectively the same process, and should work ok. Regardless, calling her a fool wasn't really necessary.
You’re better than those two guys showing how to fix my cuisinart keurig. Their technique did not work. Yours works.. Salute for female repair!

Great Video. Does the filter stay during the se-scaling or do you remove it while vinegar is being run through the system?
If you aren't planning on changing the filter then take it out (you don't want vinegar running through that thing and then getting into your coffee). The filters are cheap on Amazon though. I still have my pack that I bought AGES ago!
TJ S. Take old filter out. Replace after all vinegar cycles are done and ma home is working properly again.
The filter is removed prior.
I'm having issues with mine saying "add water" but there's water in the resolver. Can you help?
Same problem
Did you ever get a response
Great instructions hopefully this works definitely ordering new filter think that could be the problem as well. Thank you

After watching this video, I realized that I had forgotten to clean out the upper needle in my iCoffee coffee maker when I was cleaning & descaling it this morning. Whipped out a paper clip, cleaned that needle, and my iCoffee is now brewing full-sized cups again. I may not have to upgrade to a Cuisinart SS-10 yet after all!
DOSBoxMom yesssssss! Great news! Glad to be of service!
Very helpful and clear! Thanks!
Gregory Mayer glad to be of service!
Thank you for this video! - it worked!
Jennifer Vogel yay! That makes me so happy!
I discovered that the cup holder device actually comes apart too and makes it even easier to fully clean out the discharge needle
How do you do it? I have a coffee pot pot and single.
There is a little arrow on the machine where you insert the kcup. I’m kind of just press in while pulling it out.
Don't insert the paper clip too far into the top metal spear or you can damage the hose. Also, for the actual Cuisinart SS-10FR model, after you fill the reservoir with the water/vinegar mix, press the Hot Water and the Rinse buttons at the same time. This will turn off the "descale" alert on the screen. Enjoyed your Lon Guyland accent, now I have to go make a cuppa cawfee.
Guy Anthony De Marco Rhode island! Get it straight! 🤣
Thank you so much for this tip! DH was Descaling my machine and the message would not go away. Even though he found the booklet and instructions, he somehow missed that he should push both buttons. So he descaled it twice and seems like he would have gone on indefinitely descaling had I not noticed your comment and referred him back to the instructions. Ta da!
There is no hot water button on our Cuisinart.
And landscape IS horizontal.
If screen is stuck on OPEN HEAD, clean the micro switch - I just solved this problem. Open the brewing head. On the right side you will see a small switch that clicks back when the head is closed. It should click back and forth easily. But over time, coffee grime will clock this. I used and paperclip to scrape out what i could while pushing the switch/button back and forth. As soon as you have it cleaned, pushing the button back will cause the screen change you're expecting to see with the head closed. This should be in the troubleshooting section of the manual.
Question will vinegar work on a regular coffee maker with cofee pot
I don't see why not! Vinegar is like the miracle worker! Just make sure you rinse and rinse after to make sure it's all gone before you try to drink
Good, but question: where does the water go when you use the ‘rinse’ feature? It must use water to rinse... but I can’t figure out if it goes somewhere or is such a small amount that it evaporates?
Hi Kenneth! When I use the rinse feature the water comes out the front just like when you brew or use the hot water function. You should see some grinds as well because it is rinsing out the internal mechanisms.
Excellent reply@@BrieOCD - I appreciate the 'real world' video and have my first K-Cup coffee maker, this one, the Cuisinart SS 10 shipped and on it's way right now... so looking forward to. I imagine then, when you RINSE you would put a cup below the head to catch the rinse water and grounds also... Thank You for your help!
@@kennethgnielsen you got it! Glad to be of service! excited for you and your new toy!
I did everything that was mentioned and it still doesn’t work. EE0 always comes on. I pressed rinse and hot water together to reset and nothing. I turned it upside down and got the air out and it still doesn’t work. Can’t descale because no water comes out.
Thank you so much! Great video! Helped me save my machine!
whohoo! thats what I love to hear!
Thanks for the tutorial. I was about to toss mine.
Yay! So happy you're back up & running! 🎉☕️
Wow. Thanks for the help!
Im getting error code EE0 and nothing is working to fix it , any ideas?
Very informative. Thank you.
You are very welcome!
SS-10 EEO on screen, wont work, brand new. What to do?
Hey lovely lady, I have a question maybe you can help me out?
My unit has 3 different coffee sizes that just blink. It won't brew anything. I've tried cleaning and it won't even go on.
I'm ready to throw it out.
What can you tell me?
Thanks in advance.
Hello! This might be a stupid question but Have you fully descaled going through all of the steps?
I Have Same Machine And Mine Did The Same Thing I Cleaned It Out And I Descal It And It Still Sayes To Descal Witch I Did Serveral Times And It Still Sayes To Descal I Did Everything And It Still Sayes To Descal I'm At The Point Where I'm Ready To Throw It Out In The Trash I Think There's Something Wrok With It Do You Think I Try Any Thing Else To Fix It Please Let Me Know Thanks
TRY THIS:
Try pressing the hot water button for 6 seconds to reset the machine. If that doesn’t work, press/hold down BOTH the hot water AND rinse button at the same time. At the end of the “brew” the descale message should disappear!
After descaling, turn the unit off and unplug for 30-60 minutes. Then plug the machine back in, turn it on. When you go to brew the descale light should turn off. If not you might have a defective unit and should then call Cuisinart customer service directly at 1-800-726-0190.
It Worked The De Scal Light Went Out Thank You Some Much
@@BrieOCD Thank You So Much It Worked I Was At The Point To Where I Was Going To Throw It Out But Then I Went On TH-cam See See This Video It Was Help Full This Video Was The Last Restore I Can't Thank You Enough Because It Worked And I Didn't Want To Throw It Out But Thank You And God Bless You
thank you! Life saver!! lol
Whohoo! Happy coffee drinking! 🙌🏼
Great review fun and informative thank you
Thank you! Hopefully it worked for you!
My Cuisinart Coffee Maker keeps saying not ready add water. How do I get it to stop saying that and get it to work again?
You’re so cute! I love your personality. Thanks for your help
Hey thanks! glad to be of service! Happy Coffee drinking!
I have a ss700 no water comes out i clean resiorvor out and upunder neath it took it apart pump still nowater comes out wat can i do
cawfee hahaha love the accent , and great advise thank you.
You're welcome! Happy cawfee drinking! ☕️
@@BrieOCD Thanks to you I have just made a great cuppa cawfee I found that it was not my machine but the pods I was using I got the all in one completely recyclable ones , they flow through so slow the machine would time out. So I have started using the refillable container and hey presto it flows great and the Cawfee is amazing.
😂🙌🏼
Have your machine show the letters EEA in the led display? I was trying to descale it, and I was unable to finish the process because of that code. Any help or suggestions are welcome.
Oh no! Sounds like an error code. I would just unplug it for at least a few minutes. Then try again
Thank you for this information. Blessings 30,000 Fold
You are very welcome! Glad to help! Happy coffee drinking! 😘
Brie OCD Blessings 30,000 Fold and Happy 🐣 Easter
That machine is so much better than their new one
sherrie breedlove don't scare me! If mine ever dies, I'll die!! 🤣
Brie OCD the new one is noisy no light in the water tank,less water tank.and it drives me crazy I so wish I had not got rid of that one.mine I had descaled and cleaned but still ran so slow.I thought the new one would be just as nice .Um NOT
All cuisinart products have gone to H eck. my mixer 7 quart 12 speed 2 uses and is broke.So sad whats happened to their products well all appliances really
sherrie breedlove 😬🙀
The filters in the description say not for cuisinart.. on amazon
Lori Clyburn hey Lori! They fit and work perfectly! If you have an updated model I would just look at your current filter. Does it look the same? If so you should be good to go. They all do the same thing so If the shape looks the same go for it!
What if it won't turn on anymore? I had this happen once, somehow got it to work long enough to run vinegar through it, but it has happened again.
Great video, thanks... But today my spouse brewed a cup , and it worked ok, we never turn ours off , it just turns off automatically, anyway she said that the coffee maker just started brewing on its own, and it was only brewing COLD water... It also will not stop brewing cold water , if its plugged in it just starts shooting out cold water, not sure what to do or if anyone can help.. Ive tried unplugging and the paper clip thing. Everytime i plug it in cold water comes out until the reservoir is empty. UGGGH
I don’t have the piece on my to go to the filters and it’s new.
I would definitely call and see if it’s missing it if they can send you a new one
I never had a clogging problem. My problem is that that “sharp” needless are no longer sharp. It doesn’t puncture the top and bottom of the k-cup very well anymore. I bought mine in 2019.
That's insane! Is it still under warranty?
@@BrieOCD
Actually yes. I assumed it was a 1-year warranty, but I just checked, and it’s a 3-year. Thank you for asking, or I wouldn’t have thought of it and would have spent money on a new machine.
Yahoo!!! That definitely shouldn't happen. Get that baby fixed! Happy coffee drinking!! ☕️
What if it doesn’t pump out anything and I’ve tried all the steps?
I would try again. And then if still nothing call Cuisinart and maybe they can help youyroubleshoot or maybe it will fall under manufacturer's warranty. Good luck! 🤞🏼
Thank you!
You're welcome! Hopefully you're drinking some delicious coffee as we speak!! I literally have it on my to do list to descale mine today bc it was acting funky 3 days ago. I unplugged it in between coffee makings but it's time to clean it! ☕️
hey appreciate it, worked!
Whohoo! So glad!!
Hola, por favor alguien me puede informar si esta cafetera funciona con todo tipo de capsulas?
What if it don't pump water out
is yours a model # SS-700 ? looks different from ss-10 if so is it better than the ss-10 Thanks
Hi Dan! Mine is definitely the ss-10 but it's OLD! I've had this model since 2008 and love it. The big water chamber and cup sizes are my main reasons for the love.
@@BrieOCD Also you machine is not a Keurig.
Hi there, the brand is Cuisinart ss-10 (as labeled on my video). It is a licensed product of Keurig and uses the Keurig cups. Not sure what you are looking for or need by your comment?
That is an SS700, I had one still in the backyard, I loved it anyway but it is dead, now I have the SS 10 and it is working but the descale message won't go away I descaled three times now, doing every step you said and nothing. Do you know have to get rid of the descale message?
Hi Manuel! Try holding down the hot water button for 6 seconds (or maybe a little longer). It should go off! Keep me posted! Would love to know if it worked for you!
Hi, thanks for replying soon. It didn't work ☹️, but thanks anyway, your video it is pretty good. If I find the solution I will let you know. I tried to hold the button by 20 seconds, I tried each button in case. Too bad Cuisinart don't make more the 700 it was pretty great. Thanks again.
@@LaRaza4evee We agree with you, we loved the 700. It isn't brewing like it should so we purchased a new one, but it doesn't work the same. We keep hoping we can get the old one going again. We have the same issue with the descale light on the new one.
The thingy was clogged...Paperclip genius!
Kev P yesssssss! That's what I like to hear!! Happy day!!
Just bought this Cuisinart 3220...set it up. make first time no problem....washed all the parts according to the instruction booklet and now cannot get the filter basket comopaart to get in machine and close the door of the machine...for an expensive coffee maker this is a mess!!!!
Ty
Our NEW ss10 P1 is a nuisance. Always showing “error” on the screen. Will return. 1/9/2021. Thanks for info though.
Is your machine LOUD? My out of the box branD me machine is SO LOUD!!
Some video instructions say to use 60 Oz vinegar undiluted, some say 20 Oz vinegar diluted with 40 Oz or water, and another says equal parts (half vinegar and half water). Some say to wait 4 hours prior to rinsing out the vinegar, and others rinse out the vinegar right away. I wish there was one safest way to actually descale and prolong the life of the machine (and not just how to remove the indicator light).
I just fill the chamber about half and half. I wouldn't stress. Mine isn't about the light its about getting the machine to work again. I literally only descale when coffee won't come out and I've had mine since 2010. If you want to always keep it healthy just descale on a schedule like once a quarter or every 6 months and you’ll be good!
Great arms!
Lol thank you! Hopefully you're drinking some delicious coffee as we speak!! I literally have it on my to do list to descale mine today bc it was acting funky 3 days ago. I unplugged it in between coffee makings but it's time to clean it! ☕️
The filter should be in water for 15 min and rinse before using.
I did everything you said and it's still DEAD no easy no pzzz just DOA. by the way your machine is the Cuisinart SS -700 not the SS-10 i had mine for 6 years. after talking to Cuisinart they told me that the pump is gone and they no longer have any replacement pumps . best thing they could do was give me a great discount on a newer model the SS-10
Ugh that stinks! I just had to do this last weekend and luckily it still works! So sorry for your loss, hopefully you're next model lasts a while!!
You should soak the filter 15 minutes and rince it b4 insert it in the machine...
Great tip! I'll never do it though lol, it's like soaking quinoa first... I'll never do it! 😂
@@BrieOCD just read the instructions... Damn
@@BrieOCD Stupid answer btw, not surprised at all
@@steve74815 thank you, NEXT!
@@BrieOCD no... No "thank you" neccessary...
Pocking w a paperclip WHILE still plugged..
Great point! should probably keep unplugged while cleaning!
Yep, and if your car doesn't start, just open a door for a few minutes, then close it, then walk away for an hour, then come back and open the door again, doesn't start, roll down a window, roll it up again, doesn't start then walk away again. Then don't bother trying to start it again, just walk away and buy another car.
LOL! this is worth the fix though! I have had the same keurig since 2010! totally worth the descaling to keep it running and keep it clean!
50K FUCKING VIEW!!!! LFGOOOOOOOOOOOOOO "You Should Have This Thing ForEVER!!!
caw-ffee love that accent
😂
Some say 60 Oz vinegar undiluted, some say 20 Oz vinegar diluted with 40 Oz or water, and here you say equal parts (30 Oz vinegar and 30 Oz water). I wish it was one safest way. Some say wait 4 hours and others rinse out the vinegar right away. From Cuisinart video they suggest:

If you have a Cuisinart SS700 throw it in trash, biggest POS! I have tried all trouble shooting and nothing works, just brews 1/4 cup coffee everytime. Whats worse I contacted Cuisinart and they care nothing about customers, wouldnt even assist in telling me what COULOD be wromng, just said its out of warranty. If I knew a machine I spent $225 on would break in 3 yrs 2 months I would NEVER have wasted my money!
Omg mine is the best! I think you just got a dudd Unfortunately. that’s terrible about their customer service! I hate companies that are like that!
mine says EEO... its also 10 years old. Pretty much never replace the filter. ill keep fucking around with it, but i think its fucked.
Noooooooooooooo
I just googled it (I'm sure you did too)
Your described problem may be one of two problems. Let's start with the easier solution first. In the DCC 1200 there is a filter "stick or column" in the left rear. Pull it out and remove the clogged carbon filter(s) that are in there. Shine a light into the receptacle and remove the debris in the bottom. It is likely that this is causing the problem with you machine needing to be started on multiple times. See if this solution works. If it does, you might run 8 cups of water and 4 cups of vinegar through to help decalcify the units plumbing. Do this once or twice and then rinse with at least one pot run-through of clean water. If this works then you are good to go.
Next, if this does not solve your problem we can do the following: unplug the unit and lay it on its back. You will need a #10 torx driver (hardware store if you don't have one) to remove the bottom cover plate. There are 4 torx screws holding it on. When removed, you will find 2 orange hoses. Carefully attempt to remove the left hose without splitting. I used a eyeglas screwdriver to loosen it up. If it splits, just cut off the split and stretch it to reconnect when time comes. As you look into the hose you will find a little black valve inside as well a some gunk. Clean it all out with a fine wire as best you can. Rinse well. Attempt to reconnect the hose back onto the pipe. Slip the pipe clamp back into place. Replace the cover and screws and you should be good to go again. This is not as daunting as it may seem. You can do it.

You just said your's is a Cuisinart then you switch to calling it a Keurig... Make up my mind.
It's a Cuisinart machine that uses the brand Keurig cups. It's the same. If you just say a Cuisinart that could mean any Cuisinart machine. If you call it a Keurig people know I am making coffee. 🤷🏻♀️
Don't follow this fool she is wrong this is not the process to descaling your coffee maker
Henry Gonzalez I'm not sure what you're talking about because if you read the comments it HAS worked for MANY MANY people. #spambot #troll
I'll agree that this isn't the procedure prescribed in the manual, but it's effectively the same process, and should work ok. Regardless, calling her a fool wasn't really necessary.
Be nice...
