Why is my Hamilton Beach coffee maker not brewing?

The Unit Cannot Brew Coffee:

In case your Hamilton Beach coffee maker won't brew, there's a good chance that mineral deposits have blocked the innermost pipes of the unit. Descale and clean your BrewStation or Hamilton Beach coffee machine thoroughly before brewing a fresh pot of coffee.
