is there something rattling inside the screw on top of the carafe? I hear a rattling sound.

Yes. That's part of the sealing system. Allows the coffee to brew into the carafe while keeping it sealed. When your pour, the ball rolls back and you can pour the coffee. Perfectly normal.

The cap is designed to allow the coffee to flow into the carafe while brewing and to be poured out through the cap after brewing. The rattling you hear is a small ball inside the cap which acts as check valve between the two functions.

it is a little ball that covers a small vent of the carafe when standing upright as to seal it to hold the heat.

Sell the carafe on eBay and put the rest in the garbage. Mine did the same after 3 months.

the button on my lid does not move and there is no noise from the tumbler. I would see if you can exchange.

Check to make certain there is no water under the carafe or on the area it connects to the base unit. Then check the blue piece that sits loosely on the bottom center - it may be upside down. Also, after you turn it on and set the time, you still have to push the start/stop button. Hope that helps.

yes mine did that for a short while then it didn't do it any more. It's perfect now! I'd say it was rattling for about the first 15 - 20 uses.

I don't have such problem. The carafe only releases some steam upon completion of the drink, which is normal. You might want to make sure you don't put too much milk in the carafe (see the MIN and MAX lines).

I'm sorry to hear that you had a problem with your carafe. I know they sell these parts on Mr Coffee.com. I would also write to customer service and let them know what happened. Maybe they'll replace it for free. Good luck!

Slide out and twist carafe and frame in opposite directions, and slide new one in. Good luck. Mine is aluminium frame.

Sometimes the sensor thingy that sits atop the glass carafe is not in the right spot. I usually start fresh and make sure all parts are in the right place---that usually does it.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours not make that sound

Hi Barbara, The only place these things will rattle is in the impeller assembly, it sounds like the impeller is not correctly seated in the housing and not making correct magnetic contact with the motor, as a result your impeller isn't turning enough rpms and not drawing water up through your intake. If the water level in your filter has dropped too far you may have lost your prime. Before taking the impeller apart, make sure you manually fill your filter with water, then turn it on and see if it draws water. If it doesn't, don't hesitate to take it to your local pet store and ask them to check the impeller assembly remember, they don't want to lose your business. Good luck.

You may want to thinnk about returning it. Mine is about a year old and is totally solid. Never heard a rattling noise.

I think the machine is just noisy... If the coffee is not coming out that easily.. Try unscrewing the strainer in the espresso cup and cleaning out the tiny hole in it... Also, perhaps you're packing the espresso too tightly?

No rattles here. It should not be ratttling... Check to see if some renegade plastic part may have been jarred loose during shipping.

I figured out what the sound is, I think... There is a plastic ring inside the ring that screws on and on mine, the plastic ring is broken, thus the clicky sound because the inner shaft can't get tight.

o, it's not extra delicate. I am on my second carafe, Iam just careful in how I handle it and wash it. I was not able to find another carafe that fit. Good luck!
