You are living one of my dreams (the other is an outdoor pizza oven but never mind). Enjoy every sip.

Thank you for the replies. I had actually tried shutting it down & restarting when it first happened and it didn't work. After reading both your notes today, I tried it again. Voila! I had coffee. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be working for us tomorrow morning. Other internet sources I checked for troubleshooting did not say anyone had this problem and found such a simple solution. Gotta love the GW forums for good/quick advice.

Thanks homepro - I'll give them a shot. The prices seem reasonable. I like the Waialua coffee grown here on Oahu, just don't buy much Kona these days as all the stores (including Walmart) are overrun with tiny 6 to 8 oz. bags of 100% Kona, or a million flavored Kona blends, for the tourists. There are a couple of blends labeled as made for well known local restaurants which are OK - but they are 10% Kona only. Most the blends are only 10%. I want to use real beans and get real flavor! Sharon - just what I need, another gadget! LOL! Maybe I'll try when I'm retired. Too busy to start another hobby right now! Terri, this one could be promising. It could probably arrive from WA within a couple of days. Maybe the pachamama mentioned by arbenson too. I want to try a few over a period of a couple of months to try some new roasts. Then I can set up a standing order with the ones we like best.

"@opaone - everyone agrees the Breville Oracle makes great coffee. Everyone also agrees that it breaks within a year; if you are lucky, two years." Where are you getting that? I don't know that the Breville machines are any more or less reliable than others and I don't think they'd be as popular on coffee forums otherwise as these are folks who are analyzing everything to the nth degree before purchase. :-) Anecdotally, I know a number of people who've got many years on theirs and I've not heard of any problems. Anything more than a simple drip machine is likely to have some problems at some point though. In theory it should cost less to fix a counterop unit than deal with service calls for a built-in.
