⚡ TL;DR — Quick Answer

Descale the Mr Coffee boiler. Scale buildup causes cavitation noise during heating.

What Causes Making Loud Noise?

Mr. Coffee machines are affordable drip brewers with simple mechanical components.

Step-by-Step Fix

Follow these steps specifically for Mr Coffee machines:

  1. Descale the Mr Coffee boiler. Scale buildup causes cavitation noise during heating.
  2. Inspect the pump bearings. On Mr Coffee machines, a failing pump makes a grinding sound.
  3. Check the grinder burrs. Hard beans can jam the burrs and strain the motor.
  4. Place the Mr Coffee on an anti-vibration mat. Noise from the drip tray resonance is common.
