Has anyone found out why the coffee maker starts leaking? I have had a similar experiance to one of the reviews and am wondering what the problem is.

My is getting clogged at the opening of the lid of the carafe. It just can't handle the amount of water going in. It's very sporadic when it does this but when it does, whooo boy do you have a mess on your hands.

If you use the metal reusable coffee filter, fine coffee grounds clog the carafe lid. Thoroughly rinsing the lid after each use helps, although blasting the lid with a Waterpik (do this outdoors) will clear out the lid very nicely. If you use paper filters the clogging does not seem to occur.

I've had this for years and love it. The leaking is caused by the base that the coffee filter sits in. at times I thought it was in but it was not and it does leak everywhere. After you clean it make sure it is pushed all the way down then set the coffee filter in. Once I figured this out I have not had a leak since

With mine, grounds would periodically clog the valve on top. A good washing of the top has always solved the problem. It has leaked maybe once out of 50 or 100 pots.

I had the same problem and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but after I gave it a good cleaning it stopped. Now maybe you can tell me how to stop it from leaking? It constantly drips and if I don't forget to watch it I end up with water all over my counter.

I do not really have that problem. Once every two weeks I run the water through, I add more water if it does not make a full pot.(this replaces the water that evaporates from the heating)..... I have had the coffee maker for a long time and have done this per their recommendations since I bought it. As it heats up the water all the time there is evaporation.

I've had that happen also. Sometimes the grind of the coffee isn't fine enough. Sometimes I don't have the filter holder screwed in tight enough. I also make sure the printed side of the filter is facing up as per the directions. Sometimes the evil morning coffee gnome is at work!!! Good luck!

Are you cleaning it periodically. The shoot where the coffee comes out can get narrow over time with buildup. Also, you must completely screw off the hopper to get into the burrs to clean them. Without cleaning the buildup will slow output and strain the motor to eventual failure. So are you doing this maintenance or does the problem lie elsewhere? I have one which I use daily but it is only 3 weeks old

As to my previous post: let me stress mine is an older model. It doesn't look as if the newer models take loose coffee, but you might want to check with the company.

Yes, I do. I have discovered that when you fill the water tank, fill it slowly or the water will leak out the bottom. At first I thought it leaked at any water over 10 cups but I made 12 cups the other day and poured it slowly and there was minimal leakage from underneath. It's good for the price, but you are not getting at $200 coffee maker for $40, if you know what I mean. It's fine for me and it is super cute.

The first one that I got did the same thing, would not brew and I had it replaced. It seems the water is not dropping to the bottom of the resorvoir. When trying to brew a single cup, I would get error messages because of this. Lousy production control is what I think. My replacement is working fine tho.

Mine leaks juice around the cup no matter how tight I screw it on and it runs down into the machine when it's blending. Anyone have a solution for that?

I would call the Company, I have one and it has done really good. I have had mine for about two years and love it. I use it every day, I make all my coffee and tea with the water and that is the only water I drink. I hope you can get it fixed. Wish I could have been more help.

Ours appears to be leaking, too. It isn't keeping the coffee warm either. Seeing the price on this, I seriously hope my husband didn't pay $300 plus for this. Absolutely not worth it.

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.

Did you try it out? I have the same question and the same coffee maker? Thank you

I'm going to call them today about mine. I got mine last September for my birthday. I have been having pump issues, as well as it has started to leak underneath. I'm glad to hear you had a positive experience with them. I emailed their customer service department today. I guess I need to call instead. I will do so when I get home. I love my coffee brewer, and I descale it every 4 months religiously (even though I only use bottled water). I will let everyone know the outcome.

I did not have that problem. My problem with this is that it did not keep the coffee hot and it shut itself right away. I consider it not a great carafe that did not have the insulation properties to keep the coffee only "warm." Poor quality control so I returned it before the end of 30 days.

Oh no! Mine just started leaking too and I'm not sure if it's too late to return it. Let me know what happens with yours. I really have enjoyed this dispenser until now.
