When my pot is filled up to the 5 cup mark it leaks where the plastic meets the glass. Are they all like this or is mine defective?

Hi Victoria: I delayed answering your email because I wanted to be 100% sure I was correct. I went home and made a pot of (Mountian Blue) coffee. I filled it up to 5 cups - on the glass carafe it was just a tad under the max line and not a drop spilled. So short answer your pot is defective :(

They're all like that. Piece of very faulty engineering. Mine also leaks out the end of the handle, dripping coffee on the counter unless I remember to put something under it. 2 weeks ago, just short of a year I've had it, it QUIT.

Mine does the same thing, I believe it is a defect that these pressure cookers have. I didn't use mine for months after a I bought it so I didn't noticed that it had the defect and decided not to return it, but if I was you I would return it and get a better one, it should not be leaking water or steam through anywhere but the top.

I have had 2 of these over the past 3 years - and never had a leak. Check and make sure the water container is fitted properly on the unit. Maybe yours is defective.

I can only guess that there MAY be a plastic/rubber gasket where the metal base meets the glass, however, it is not visible. So, I really can't say for sure. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer. My carafe has never leaked.

No, mine is really good. Make sure the main valve is fully open and the pot filler valve is fully closed.

Mark as defective and exchange or return it. Mine did not leak at all. It just couldn't keep anything hot.

I'm no expert but it sounds like (1) the rubber ring is not properly seated, (2) the lid isn't properly seated (it took me a while to get it right), or (3) the pot is defective. If you can, contact the manufacturer. They are the experts. Good luck.

The glued plastic trim around the top of the carafe in the original has been done away with. That's the part that leaked. This one is all glass and works perfectly.

Mine has been great it does not leak you might want to check and see if it came with a hole or if something happened to it after you got it

Since that has never been a problem for me, I would have to watch how you pour the coffee. Maybe the pot is too close to the cup. It only spills when I am filling the canister and that is because I am holding the pot too close to it and am in a hurry, so just wipe up the water when done. I love this coffee pot and never want a different kind.

I sent this coffee maker back..it leaks water or coffee all over..I read this in the comments and bought it anyway. They were right and I should have taken them seriously. Not having the coffee maker anymore I can't advise on the cup but I will warn u against buying it.. A word to the wise should be sufficient.

sometimes mine leaks a little but it's much better than the off brand I got one time...They usually include extra white plastic gasket rings with the packaging- do you have any extras? Maybe the gasket ring isn't seated properly or it came out? If the gasket ring is fine then maybe the threads on the cup or the blade top are damaged?

It could have spilled out during boiling if you filled the water above the MAX line (not hard to do considering you cannot easily see the markings). If that is not the case - return the unit, it's likely defective

I have found if the pot isn't sitting properly on the burner it will leak while brewing. Like if it is off center and one side of the pot is higher then the other.

You may have a defective tank. Mine screwed in tight to the tank and there is no leak

Did you check if maybe you overfilled the unit? If not, than maybe you should return for a new one. I have had mine for 6 months and i have never had a leak. So maybe your unit could be defected?
