Questions and answers
The screen is stating Needle and the single serve is no longer working
@Kimberly Durham I **** having the same error message "needle". Did you get a solution?
Needle is showing on single serve
If the needle is showing on the single-serve side of the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew, it means you are looking at the part that punctures the K-Cup for brewing. If your coffee is not coming out properly, the needle may be clogged. Cleaning it with a metal paper clip can help restore proper flow.

@Mr. Anderson please show image of where to insert paper lip
water won't brew from single cup side
The single cup side of the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew is displaying "fill h2o," even though the tank has water. This suggests the machine is not detecting the water level correctly. Possible reasons include:
1. Sensor Issue: The water level sensor may be malfunctioning or blocked by debris.
2. Air Pump Problem: The machine may use an air pump to move water, and if the air port seal is not functioning correctly, it may not push water into the system.
3. Clogged Water Line: Mineral buildup or debris could be blocking the water flow.
4. Electrical Issue: A temporary fix by unplugging the machine suggests an intermittent electrical or sensor fault.
Potential solutions:
- Clean the water reservoir and check for blockages.
- Ensure the air port seal is functioning properly.
- Try resetting the machine by unplugging it for a longer period.
- If the issue persists, the machine may need repair or replacement.

The brew basket, the spring is not connected to the little inside black piece. Can it be fixed?
What to do when message says needle
When your Hamilton Beach FlexBrew displays a needle message, it likely means the piercing needle is clogged. To fix this:
1. Unplug the machine for safety.
2. Open the single-serve side and locate the top piercing needle inside the pod holder.
3. Use a toothpick or a thin, non-metal tool to gently clean the needle by inserting it and wiggling it around to remove built-up coffee grounds or debris.
4. Be patient and thorough, as it may take a minute or two to clear completely.
5. Once cleaned, plug the machine back in and try brewing again.
This should resolve the issue and restore normal operation.
