To replace the K-Cup holder in the Mainstays coffee maker model 201729:

1. Open the top cover by pressing the Brew Chamber Release Button.
2. Carefully remove the existing K-Cup holder from the capsule assembly housing.
3. Insert the replacement K-Cup holder into the same position, making sure it fits securely.

Caution: There are sharp needles in the top cover and bottom of the K-Cup holder. Avoid touching them to prevent injury. Do not open the top cover during brewing due to hot water inside.

My coffee isn't brewing properly, it looks like it's mostly water when it's finished and it's not hot. How do I correct this? Also what is the alternative for vinegar in the cleaning process?

To fix your Mainstays coffee maker (part number 201729) that is brewing mostly water and not hot, follow these steps:

1. Descale the coffee maker: Mineral buildup could be affecting heating. Fill the water tank with a descaling solution (an alternative to vinegar), such as a commercial descaler, instead of vinegar.

2. Run a brew cycle without a K-Cup: Let the descaler sit, then run a full brew cycle. Empty the hot liquid carefully.

3. Rinse the system: Fill the tank with 8 oz of distilled or bottled water and run a full cycle. Then run three more brew cycles with distilled or bottled water, each time without a capsule, to remove residual descaler.

If the problem continues, the heating element may be faulty and require service or replacement.

Coffee is only warm, not hot, when brew cycle is complete.

The Mainstays coffee maker model 201729 may be brewing coffee that is only warm and not hot due to mineral buildup or residue inside the machine. Regular cleaning is required to maintain optimal brewing temperature. Running descaling cycles with vinegar or descaler followed by multiple rinse cycles using distilled or bottled water helps remove buildup and restore proper function.

I need a reusable ground coffee filter

The Mainstays 201729 coffee maker has a removable filter that is easy to clean. However, users reported that when using ground coffee, the grounds can spill over the lid and spout, causing a mess. Overfilling the grounds strainer can lead to overflow. Using an amount similar to a Nespresso pod works better and helps avoid mess. The filter allows brewing with both k-cups and ground coffee, but it may not fully enclose the grounds during brewing.
