HOW TO FIX Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio Coffee Maker K-Cup CLEAN NEEDLES REPAIR

[@TartanJetRhino]

Thank you so much! I just got this and had a clog on the top needle making it so neither the K-Cup or own-brew attachments would work there, 2 minute clean and it's running like a dream again.

[@anthonywkeyes]

Who would have known that a paperclip would have saved me a trip to the store for a new coffee maker. Followed your instructions, cleaned/scaled the main and single serve makers, and now I’m as good as new.

[@michaelhoward4152]

Just A Dad, you really came to my rescue with this ultra-helpful video!!! Thanks so, so much for Sharing it!! I was so angry and flustered trying to figure out why my week-old Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio Coffee Maker wouldn't make any more K-Cup coffee! Were it not for your simple instructions that worked like a charm, I was going to look for the Return Shipping label to start my process of asking for a refund. Those watching the video, be sure to watch the whole thing. At the end, Just A Dad tells you that it's wise to throw away your K-Cup pods, not long after you use them, if not right away. I believe I unknowingly added to my clogged K-Cup dispenser problem, because I was leaving the pods in, sometimes for over a day. Aaaaahhh! Now, back to my freshly prepared single cup of coffee. :) A Million Thanks!!

[@JustADad]

Glad it helped and thanks for your kind words!!!

[@autumnwoodward1845]

Thank you kind sir you just made a hair salon full of ladies very happy! 😁

[@vitaltouchnrg]

Thank you! The needles didn't appear to be clogged but going through your procedure did the trick!

[@JustADad]

You're welcome!

[@shelleykennedy2857]

Hello and Thank you for this video! When I have something wrong with anything my 1st impulse is to check YT for an instruction video...low and behold, your video did the trick for me this morning! I really appreciate these types of instructions 😊

[@JustADad]

You are so welcome!

[@tracimarcum4758]

Woke up this morning to my single brew side not working. GAH!! A simple Google search + this video saved the day! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!

[@nataliehernandez488]

Wow! This was easier than I thought! Had the “overload” message on my Hamilton flex brew and kept thinking it must be the water so I tried checking that system to no avail. Sure enough, it was the needles 😅 Thank you!

[@JustADad]

You're welcome!

[@ObiWanCannoli-SM]

Many thanks my good man! Had an "overload" error and cleaning these two areas fixed it perfectly!!

[@karenharnack-oconnor2738]

I was getting so frustrated on why it wasn’t brewing on the k-cup side and came across this video and omg I’m so glad I did!! Thank you!!

[@JustADad]

[@JamesDelotis]

Thank you; you just saved me a lot of money. I was just about ready to throw it away. Works great now.

[@JustADad]

You are welcome! glad it helped!!!!

[@idhitit654]

Thank you so much for making this video! My wife and I love ours and only had it a few days before it started giving us issues. Quick clean and she's up and running again! 😊

[@sheryls7227]

Thank you! Worked perfectly! Never had an issue with my old Keurig machine needles, but these seem bigger, and my top needle was visibly/completely stuffed with coffee grounds. (Side note: For those that don’t have paper clips handy, use of a sewing pin or needle can also work. Don’t use these options on the upper hose, though.) Thanks, again.

[@cheryledwards7381]

I was so upset this morning not being able to have my morning cup of coffee. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I pulled out my old generic machine fixed my coffee and found your video. It seems my needle was clogged on the upper k-cup side and what do you know it’s working!! Thank you for your help I’m a happy lady now! 😉

[@JustADad]

So glad to hear that it worked for you! Enjoy your coffee and thanks for watching!

[@mcdonaldshenanigans7270]

Thank you! I have just a two week old new model trio and the noise it was making had me wanting to return it. Cleaned the needles and the top one was super clogged! No more weird noise, thank you!

[@JustADad]

You're welcome!

[@MsDoIIy]

Thank you so much, you are a life saver. Just got ours and was using it a few weeks before Christmas and is got clogged right on Christmas day when the family came over. I was so depressed and then I stumbled across your video. I had no idea I had to clean the needle. Ty ty ty ty! 😊

[@valeriew6052]

Thank you Thank you thank you 😁this saved me from buying a new coffee maker 🙌🏾 🙏🏽

[@abbytroxell8518]

Worked like a charm! Thank you. Mine said overload and I did think it was a bigger problem. Once I cleaned the needles it worked great! Thanks again!

You are genius you just fixed it now I can have coffee 😅Thankyou so much

[@JustADad]

Glad I could help!

[@lindasutter341]

Thank youuuu!!!! You saved my morning coffee!

[@foggedieves]

Didn't work for me. Instead of brewing a k- cup it pumps the water over into the carafe water tank. How do you fix that? On the k- cup side I might get only a 2 oz coffee out put if I'm lucky. So again, how do you fix this issue????

[@gjwanieg8323]

Did you ever find a solution to this? I’m having this same issue

[@fetalEYEstirfry]

I have this issue too. It seems like theres a backed up clog in the hose but I can't disassemble it to get to it

[@Gunfighter03]

Same issue. Anyone figure it out?

[@kimgreen5034]

Thank you so much! The upper area up in the o ring part just needed cleaning. Then ran water thru a couple of times and it worked like a charm!

[@JustADad]

Glad it helped!

[@byarsholland3877]

I cleaned out the bottom needle and it still wasn’t working for me until I saw your vid and took care of the upper needle as well. Thank you!

[@5thsgamingreplays518]

Same issue here too. Needle and cup spike both have been cleaned with a wire. On a 14 oz run on the single side about half get into the carafes reservoir. It also sounds like its being starved of water at the heat source. Instead of study hot stream it sputters and burps and when you open carafes lid it below the steam out.

[@JustADad]

Wow that is no good, sounds like I need to hurry up and take mine apart.

[@momof3spartans]

@@JustADad That is what mine is doing. Did you take yours apart?

[@cowboy124aa3]

Pipe cleaner brushes with plastic bristles work really well for the bottom needle and can work for the top but it wont run all the way thru like it does for the bottom needle you need to put it in as far as it goes and twist it all the way around. This works better then the paperclip method

I have the same unit. It's about 2 months old. For the past 2 weeks I get an "overload" error whenever I brew a single cup. The machine also does not brew the proper size cup. If I select 10oz, I might get 6oz in the cup, etc. Any thoughts on what is going wrong? Thank you!

[@thomastabithagearin3464]

It worked!!! Thanks!!!

[@JustADad]

Great!

[@christhepow]

Just bought this unit last week and getting the dreaded single side no-brew-filling-carafe-side-instead. I think we are going to return it and get separate units

[@MattHampton2211]

My coffee maker is about a month old and it keeps flashing overload. Could that be because of clogged needles?

[@keikushinada]

Hey! Question, the one I have stopped making coffee on the single cup side, and this morning my mom was able to get it to work again but just now it says overload and wont make the coffee, I've already cleaned the needles and tried flipping it over and around to get the water out but it still says the same thing

[@JustADad]

Wow sorry about this. Not sure what it could be if the needles are clean. I have had a couple viewers report problems with this machine. I would give hamilton beach a Call.

[@erikabryant5673]

Ours to. It’s actually spitting out water to the other side.

[@JustADad]

@@erikabryant5673 yeah not sure why it does it.

[@Hawkermkii]

Just got one of these(used unfortunately) and the single sever side just brews hot steaming water into the h2o tank for the pot side. The needles are 100% clean. There is a port behind the large basket where the water/steam is coming out. It's like there is a plug missing. Any ideas?

[@JustADad]

@@JustADad I did find that video right after I posted this. Thanks for the info. It's a good coffee maker, but seems to have some issues.

[@CarolLochtefeld]

My machine says it doesn't have water in the fill side for the k cup reservor but it's full so what's wrong?

[@stephanierath3559]

What if all the water I put for the single cup goes into the garage water filling somehow from 10 ounces cup I get 2 and the rest of the water goes there, why do you think it’s that ? Please help

[@judithwinkelman7438]

mine is just brewing cold water in the cup any ideas on that?

[@KristiMusicVideos]

My K-Cup water is actually filling the back of the carafe water well. Could that also be a clogged needle situation?

[@KristiMusicVideos]

I did gently tap it on the counter (and on top) like another person suggested. I did run water through the K-Cup thing two or three times and noticed coffee grounds in the coffee cup both times. Slowly it stopped leaking back into the carafe water well with no more coffee grounds coming out. Now it seems to be working perfectly. It just needs to be cleaned out with clear water cycles frequently, I'm thinking.

[@JustADad]

Good job!!1

[@joeyboring]

I keep getting error message on single side saying Close lid. What does this mean. Just bought this for Christmas.

[@JustADad]

There is a microswitch that has to make when you close the lid. it is on the right side looks like a black plastic button when you push it down. I just did a video on how to open this machine up, I will be posting it in the next coupel days

[@girthafied]

Question I just purchased mine and have only made around 20 single serve cups. Today mine started leaking kinda where the handle is tool lift the top but it was coming out as the kcup color like it was overflowing the kcup itself.

[@JustADad]

Were you able to clean both the top and bottom needle? Make sure the gray K cup adapter is installed. Does it do it with other brands of K cups some brands are not made very well?

[@girthafied]

@@JustADad So both needles were fine. It was the hole under the kcup adapter that the liquid goes through to enter the cup. Wife was leaving kcups in it so I would imagine that caused it to gunk up. It was very very little but just enough.

[@JustADad]

@@girthafied Awesome good job on fixing it!!! What is your favorite Coffee?

[@rotfan77]

Have a Hamilton Beach brew station that dispenses coffee super slow, it feels like it takes two minutes to fill up one cup I have used vinegar to Descale but pretty sure there’s more to it, any ideas? I did see one guy use an air compressor to blow into lines and thought I might give that a try

[@JustADad]

That might work but just not sure. I did cut one open and you can see what it looks like on the inside kzbin.info/www/bejne/aonIg6qhoMl3nLM

[@Laineyxnomai]

Hi, unfortunately this did not work. I can't figure out whether I need to buy a new one or just fix it. So whenever I try to make coffee from the K-cup side, it doesn't work it just makes a big noise, for example(the best way I can) KRKRKRHRHK. If you could help me that would be great.

[@roseanderson5780]

Hi. Has anyone gotten a Overload error on the screen when using the single cup? I watched the video and have clean all the needles. Thanks for any help.

@@JustADad yes, will start to brew and stop and on the screen says overload. There’s another strange issue you might know. I only use single brew and the water end up on the pot side. Not sure what causes it, or when it happens because it’s not constant

[@JustADad]

@@katrie524 Yeah that happens to me about the water ending up on the other side. Not sure about the overload, maybe try a different plug in, but i might think about taking it back.

sounds like a faulty unit. I would get a refund.

Okay, I cleaned the bottom and the top needles. The bottom one was fine but the top one was clogged. I ran a water test through the single cup side and it is still routing coffee to the back of the carafe side in the water well. What in the world?

[@JustADad]

yeah if the single serve side is clogged then it will doe that. is the single serve side brewing coffee ok with a kcup?

[@girthafied]

Would this be a clog in the hole that it goes through to fall into your coffee mug
