The "Brew Pause" feature on my Cuisinart Brew Central coffeemaker no longer works. When I pull out the coffee pot to pour a cup while coffee still is brewing, the mechanism that stops the coffee from dripping doesn't stop; instead, it continues dripping onto the plate of the coffee machine. It's not obvious what is wrong with the mechanism.
It's the spring part on the bottom of that black basket. Now that it's broken there's really no fixing it. The only thing to do is call the manufacturer (800-726-0190) to get a new brew basket. They are open on weekends, so you could call them today and see what they can do (brew baskets are covered under the 3 year warranty, btw). Just have your model and serial number and you can probably have a new one ordered in less than 5 minutes. :)
Testimonial: "Very helpful suggestion to call the manufacturer. I was told to try the self-cleaning, as calcium deposits could be the problem. worked like a charm."
