My Cuisinart DCC-1150BK coffee maker is new, yet it leaks like crazy when pouring form a full carafe. The lid is definitely on correctly. Any fixes?

Yes! There is a problem. Seems like a new design and it is not right. Call Cuisinart and get another lid for carafe & a mesh holder, just inc ase there is a problem with that too. They have a 1-800#.It will not work right unless replaced!! somebody's idea of a new design doesn't work!!

I have not had that problem at all. Pours without a drop. I wonder if your carafe is defective??

Something is defective if you are sure the lid is on correctly. I would ask for a replacement coffee maker.

You have to pour from the proper angle. This pot is very tempermental and it is all about pouring very gently at first, than allowing the steam to escape then it will pour normally. Try it and you may see a difference. The other thing is that I hold the pot not from the handle, but I put my thumb on the bottom of the handle and then grasp the pot from the bottom(Unless it is hot, then I obviously don't grasp the bottom). I have found that grasping the pot this way gives me max control of the pour and also, when you get to the last cup in the put, allows me to get all of the coffee out of the pot itself.

We've had the same issue with our coffee maker. Unscrewed the plate on the bottom of the machine and found an orange "rubber" water hose had cracked and is leaking. I was able to remove the hose, off the cracked portion and reinstall with just enough length remaining, though this will probably happen again. I will go to a hardware store to look for replacement hose materials, its not too hard to replace with a needle nose pliers or forceps are best.I don't know if this is an issue with cheap materials or city water issues, nevertheless I was disappointed and will not be buying another Cuisinart.

I have not had any dripping with the carafe- none at all! I am very happy with this coffee maker and I think you will be also.

Mine does not leak -however, if I turn my wrist wrong it dribbles. When I stand directly in front of the maker and pour evenly in to the open front access (not letting water pour sideways out of the carafe, but pour directly from the spout evenly) ... I have no issue with the dribbling. I think it is in the wrist action not with the carafe people are having issues with it, because I have had other Delonghi makers that others said dribbled as well and I never had that issue with them either

Personally , I sent mine back after we ordered the second pot, ours was leaking where the stainless and plastic is put together, not the basket overflowing, took awhile to figure that out, me pot fixed it for about 5 days.... Returned for full refund and bought a brewville, have not had any problems with it

We had this problem with our Bunn Coffeemaker and found a way to avoid the overflow. We wet the paper filter just a bit before adding the coffee grounds. That seems to take care of the overflow. Hope this helps others with the same problem.

Our coffee maker is the Cuisinart DCC-1100. I think your model would use a different replacement carafe.

I've had this machine for only 4 days now, and the only problem I see with it is that even with low levels of coffee grounds they come perilously close to overflowing the #4 cone filter. I suspect this is due to two factors: 1) the filter basket bottom is flat so that once the filter is wet it sags to conform which lowers it and allows grounds to overflow, and 2) I suspect water flows faster than other coffeemakers I've had (DCC-1200) and this causes water to stay in the basket longer. I'm using the same amount and grind on my coffee and also the same filters and this was never an issue on the DCC-1200. I'll experiment a bit and hopefully find a solution or this is going back.

Make sure the inside of the filter holder is clean, over time the gasket will loosen and the handle should end up centered. As for the drip/steam, you may have packed the coffee too tight, or your grind is too fine. It takes a few tries to get it right.

I've had the same problem. Bad design. The workaround that I've found is to close the top before putting the carafe in place. If you put the carafe in first and then close the top, it doesn't seem to work as well.

Try to do the cleaning cycle again, could just be a simple malfunction. I've never had that problem. I love my DeLonghi Coffee Maker, it makes the best coffee, but I have a problem with spilling coffee when I'm pouring a cup. I believe it's the engineering of the pot.

I've tried everything that a person could do without adding anything additional to the coffee maker, itself. Nothing works for me. However I did read where someone got a little rubber ring and added that above the gasket that comes down to seal the water when flowing from the coffee maker to the disposable cup. That will probably be my next attempt. It sounds like a lot of work/knowledge but when cleaning it, you'll see the little gasket and it comes off the maker very easily. An extra ring put on just above the gasket would bring it down further and that might just work. Stay tuned!

Yes. Mine leaked from the drip nozzle, but I didn't have a condensation problem. I had to keep a bowl when the coffee comes out to catch the leaks.

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.

Make sure you get the carafe directly under the basket all the way in. It's a little stiff at first. If it's not all the way in the shut-off valve may not allow the drip/brewing. Otherwise I can't imagine what's wrong.

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.
