Cleaning the plunger

The plunger and its filters are easy to disassemble, making it convenient to hand wash. It is recommended to clean the plunger after each use.

To clean the plunger, start by disassembling the filter assembly. Place the stacked filters in the palm of your hand and use your other hand to hold the top cap of the plunger. Rotate it counterclockwise until the filters become loose and can be removed from the plunger pole.

Once the filters are removed, you can clean them by soaking them in hot water with a mild detergent. If you use a mild detergent, be sure to rinse the filters thoroughly afterward to avoid any residual detergent affecting the taste of your coffee. You can also use a light brush, such as a toothbrush, to remove any clogged coffee oils or remaining grounds.

For stubborn coffee stains, create a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the filters. Let the paste sit for about 10 minutes before rinsing it off.

After cleaning and drying all the parts, you can reassemble the filters. Start by aligning the base of the plunger pole with the center of the stacked filters. Then, place the 3-hole cross filter, followed by the 2 mesh filters, and finally, the spiral filter. Rotate the top cap of the plunger clockwise to tighten and secure all the filters in place.

And for 4 cups, use 3 tablespoons of grounds. Note that it is not recommended to overfill the filter with coffee grounds as it could cause overflow once water penetrates the grounds.

Troubleshooting

If your Mueller coffee maker is not dispensing water, there could be a few reasons. Firstly, check if your machine has been clogged. If so, try getting the air out of the lines by slamming the reservoir onto the machine, turning the machine upside down and shaking it, or slapping the sides. If this does not work, try descaling your machine. To do this, turn off and unplug the machine, remove the filter pod, and place a cup in its place. Plug the machine back in, then hold the 8-ounce and 12-ounce buttons for 3 seconds. Once the machine powers up, fill your reservoir with water or descaling solution, and press the flashing brew button. Repeat this step a second time and keep running brews until the light blinks, telling you to add water.

If your machine is not powering up, check that the outlet is working by plugging in another appliance. If your machine still does not power up, all the lights may be flashing. If this is the case, unplug the machine and leave it unplugged for 10 minutes. Plug the machine back in and see if it powers up. If it does not, contact Mueller customer support.

If your machine is not brewing a full cup, check that you are using the correct amount of coffee grounds. Mueller recommends using a level spoonful of coffee grounds per cup. If you are using the correct amount of grounds, your machine may be clogged. Try the troubleshooting steps for a clogged machine, as outlined in the previous paragraph.

If your machine is not brewing at all, it may be because the top needle is not coming out and making a hole in the K-cup. In this case, you will need to take the top of the machine apart and put it back together again.
