why does it leak around the filter basket??

On my machine that only happens if there are grinds all around the inside of the group head which make the seal faulty. Make sure you get 'up in there' with a wet paper towel every couple of uses. Also, u could be using a little too much espresso. That's all I got! Good luck

Why? Because they aren't well made would be my evaluation. It leaked there, and from above the filter basket. In fact they sent me two as warranty and they both malfunctioned similarly, one even leaked out through the on/off switch. That couldn't be too safe, I've since given up on that brand, and espresso machines generally.

Have the same problem, too, but I just have one of those plastic grocery bags underneath (after taking the canister out, of course) and most just falls into the bag! That's the only filter I remove because it's washable & only know of 1 other filter, the hepa filter, but have never changed it... :o(

sounds like the threads are recessed into the filter so the nut can catch it. go to a hardware store and see if they sell a threaded extension ...if not notch the filter so that the nut fits.

I don't know how you filter is set up but i had that problem when my waste valve was open----flushing to the sewer. If you close it half or three quarters of the way it's just fine

The only thing I can think of is that you my be using too much coffee or the holes in the bottom of the filter might be some how obstructed or not properly made at the factory. There is a good instructional video on you tube that I recommend watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DwPGkq8SFE There might me something helpful to you in the video. This is how I learned to do it.

Hi, it's your filter, no matter how clean it looks on the outside it gets pretty clogged internally. You can order three packs of filters on Amazon. You could always pull it out until they arrive. Rob

Sorry, I can't help with this. I returned the item due to poor performance and didn't have it long enough to have to clean the filter. Good luck.

That happens when the lid isn't shut or sealed correctly, like if the basket isn't sitting properly and prevents the lid from sealing all the way when closed.

There is a rubber type gasket that runs around the outside to stop leaking. You can remove it.

I think because your filter is impeded. Try removing the filter and clean off the debris.

did just replaced the filter? there is a possibility that the housing that holds the filter is lose, try to tighten it , first unlosen the housing, it maybe misalign and not properly screwed in the base thats why there is a leaking, try to check also for any losen connection from the base where you connect the tube to the faucet, if you already done it and problem still persist probably there is a defect/faulty with the design, you can contact the manufaturer for support if still covered with warranty, hope this help

We find a filter of this size adequate for our three bedroom house. Alas, we do not actually use *this* model. I purchased it, and then found that the threaded fittings I was using bottomed out before forming a tight seal. I ditched this filter and purchased another one locally.

I was able to remedy the problem by flipping the gasket over. The rounded side should go toward the filter. Unfortunately Culligan customer service hasn't been able to figure this one out and has been telling their customers to remove this very necessary gasket altogether.Unfortunately I was not able to remedy the situation where the filter compartment leaks after trying to change the filter just one time. I'm glad I tested removal and replacement of the filter right away to make sure I would have room to do so after installation rather than to wait 3 months to find out that once you open it, it will likely leak after.

The simple solution is to use vasoline on the filter cover threads, that will allow a tighter fit and make removal easier. We do the same thing on our pool pump leaf trap and pool filter. The leaking stops once the housing is tightened. This is an excellent product. Like any product, learn how to use it. And it goes without saying that you must have the gasket in the proper position.

It doesn't seem to get much better. I've had mine since early this year but have not noticed much of a change. I thought it was what helped the filtration since there are 2 filter baskets.
