If the water began to boil then it should have also began to rise. Maybe the gasket is sealing completely and therefore the vacuum isn’t strong enough to complete the rise to the upper bowl.
Try again and make certain the the upper bowl is firmly pushed down into the lower pot, and you also have to have the filter and coffee in the upper bowl for the water to rise and hold long enough to the coffee to brew.
Many years ago, before I knew anything about these pots I bought a Coffeemaster at the Salvation Army. It didn’t have the filter assembly, and I didn’t know it needed one, so the same thing happened to me. The water boiled, but it didn’t rise, because there was nothing in place to hold it up north for a brew.
Good Luck, and I hope this helps.

I had the same experience with adjusting the thermostats on 3 different Coffeemaster’s, thats why I suggested being sure the upper bowl is firming seated and have the filter and coffee in place. I agree those thermostats are difficult to get to, to adjust and can cause more trouble down the road if the adjustment doesn’t hold or isn’t correct.

C20 is the Coffeemaster style with the flat gasket and the screw down filter holder that holds the two bowls together, right? |
