How do you keep it from spilling coffee grounds all over? First time I used it -it worked fine after that it started spitting coffee grounds all over.

When you position the cup on the spring stand, make sure that it comes back up all the way so that it's pressed against circular dispenser. It won't be perfect as some will stick in the shaft afterward. I just clean it out every few days.

I assume you mean that the grounds are shooting out when you are grinding the coffee. Make sure that the cup is seated properly against the machine at the top. Place the k-cup on the spring stand and feel the top of the k-cup. It should fit snugly into the grinder. There is a little lip to help make sure that the grounds stay in the k-cup

I have not figured that out. So I keep a brush nearby to clean up the mess.

I'm not sure what you mean? If the gounds cup is in place properly, there should be no way for coffee to spill out. One warning though. If you use flavored beans, they have oils on them that cause the grounds shoot to clog up quickly. My husband did not realize the shoot was clogged and burned up my motor trying to grind through a clogged shoot.

I had this happen with a difference brand. I kept filling the reservoir with water, swishing and pouring it out. I put the sprayer part under running water to hopefully back-wash it. and again filled reservoir and swished and poured out. Finally, repeatedly started running full reservoir with filter in to flush the rest of the grounds out of the tube. It worked. Good luck. Coffee makers are too expensive to just replace if you can get it going again.

I hated that coffee maker! Threw it in the trash. Tried everything to keep it from overflowing but nothing worked. Sorry

Mine is leaking the coffee from bottom when brewing. I can foresee more leaking problems in near future. I only had it for a few weeks too.

This happened to me several times also.... was very disappointing because I love the coffee! Since then, I close the top of my Keurig carefully and that has seemed to help.

Mine did the same thing. Turns out it was leaking coffee through the metal heating plate at the base of the tank. Tightening the screws on the metal plate did not solve the problem. Possibly I warped it by pouring cold water on it while it was hot? Not something I normally do but it may have happened once or twice.

Hi Kate, this is a little tricky to diagnose via Amazon. Did you remove the hopper and bur? You should do this just to be sure there is nothing visible that could prevent the grounds from exiting the unit into the container. You might also try running a paperclip down through the shoot to be sure nothing has gotten stuck in there. Also, did you set to a very fine grind? If so, maybe dial it back to be sure you can get any grinding action. Does the motor seem as though it is laboring to perform the grind? I hope someone else can chime-in here, but give Baratza a call. I know you said no clogs, but I always go through the steps (even the most logical ones) a couple of times to be sure I did not mis something. Good luck and I wish I had the magic answer to your problem. I hope you get the grinder working because I sure enjoy mine and it still is performing perfectly. Best

You may have a coffee ground stuck in the dispenser. I take the back tank off, and turn it upside down and clean it with a toothbrush when this happens. Rinse well. Good luck!

I have this coffee pot, I bought last year. It works fantastic and keeps my coffee hot. Are you closing the lid tightly after pouring a cup of coffee? I wonder if the seal on your lid is maybe defective.

Wow... what kind of coffee do you use? I have never had that problem but I only make enough coffee to drink at the moment. I know the heating plate on the unit keeps the coffee hot, so if the coffee is just sitting there for a long while then the water will evaporates and the coffee will start to get a burnt overcooked taste but it does not get weak. I have not had a problem with my unit and even gave one out as a present... and that one is working fine.

I've never had any issues. I use coffee beans and grind them into the reusable filter and I fill the beans to the top as well as coffee pot. It sounds like the water is flowing too quickly into the filter and causing the grinds to "splash around'. Maybe trying the "1-4" feature and see if that avoids the problem

Could be the coffee is ground too fine. If you are grinding it or having someone grind it, specify it is for a "flat bottom" filter. My guess is the water is flowing over the top because of the fine grind, it can't filter through fast enough.

If you just got it, did you run a cycle of just water through before brewing coffee? It not, out if you've had it for a while, I'd get some coffee Brewer cleaner (usually sold near the filters in the store) and follow the instructions on that product to clean it out.

I don't have a tried and true answer for you because I have not had a problem. But here are a couple of suggestions to try. Make sure you let it cool down before trying to dump it. Make sure to take it all apart (including the rubber gasket) and cleaning really good at least once a week or maybe more. Make sure you don't put more coffee in than you are supposed too. Make sure it's the right grind of coffee and not espresso grind. Hope you get the problem figured out.

Got the same problem. Think it's really the catcher being made from a very static inducing plastic. A change in plastic could help significantly. Does everyone here actually clean the burr and components after every brew? I haven't done it yet since I bought the thing. Is it necessary? What are the downsides? I use this every morning and having to clean the device, let alone the grounds that are all over my counter would be way too much maintenance.BTW, the coffee this thing creates tastes great. I'm not an afficianado by any means but I do know that I get consistent non-bitter tasting coffee compared to the blade grinders. Got the same problem.

Are you using a reusable k-cup? I haven't had that happen with the disposable ones. If the top of the reusable k-cup isn't fully closed (such as if there are coffee grounds along the top rim), then I have had that happen.

Hi, Peyton! That is precisely why I detest the coffee maker. I talked with Kitchen Aid; they are not willing to accept return of the product; they would send me some replacement part which is supposed to remedy the overflow problem. The overflow occurred whether I brewed 2, 6, 12 or any amount. I honestly don't see how the new part will correct the issue, but I'm going to try.
