Why does the coffee maker only produce one half cup when more water was put in null

Question

Not sure as mine did not do this. However when using Kcup side only add 8-10 oz of water. If you add more ERR will display and it will not brew on Kcup side because water is overfilled for a Kcup. Full pot will brew if you turn switch to pot side. Hope this helps.

my guess is that it evaporates somewhere?

Possibly the coffee grounds are holding more water than you'd expect - I've noticed that sometimes too.

Perhaps some was lost to steam and some was lost from being soaked up into the grounds?

Thank you for your question. The piercing nozzle may be clogged with coffee grounds. The piercing nozzle is located underneath the head of the unit. Please turn the unit off and unplug the unit. Allow the unit to cool completely. To remove any built-up coffee grounds, insert the end of a bent paper clip into the eye of the piercing nozzle. After cleaning the nozzle, run a cup of water through the appliance to completely flush the nozzle. If this does not remedy your issue please contact our customer service at 1-800-851-8900 or customer.service@hamiltonbeach.com.
