Mine is leaking black liquid under the brew station? It doesn't look like coffee. It looks like oil in a watery form.

I haven't had any problem with mine but if is leaking something other than coffee I would sure return it!!!!

My first one leaked like yours. I threw it away and bought a new one. The new one has not leaked I would say return it!

Mine lasted for well over a year before it started to leak underneath the bottom, even had it cleaned it out which it seemed to work fine for a few uses before starting to leak once more. Really sad to be having this problem as I absolutely love this coffee maker!

Mine had the same thing. I actually cleaned it out real good and ran straight water through it and now the issue is resolved. Not sure what it was though

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.

Never had this problem. Is leak under the bottom of the entire brew station or in the bottom of the catch base which would be under the cup? If under the bottom of the entire brew station probably a leak somewhere in the water tank line inside the unit. Sorry I'm not more help.

Mine lasted for exactly 6 weeks before it quit pumping water. And of course it was too late to send back. I consider it a real piece of junk and will not buy antything else made by this company.

How do you know that it needs cleaning? The error light could indicate a problem with the heating filament, or something stuck in front of the spout out of which the coffee pours.

My machine did leak a bit too. When I moved the machine forward to fill up, I noticed water underneath it. My husband opened the machine up. There is a snap on piece and draws hot water up. He put silicone grease on it and it stopped. I will get more details soon on what he did.

I ran a cycle of water through mine before I used it. Just to rinse it out. Coffee tastes great.

Sandy, I had this coffee machine... IT STINKS.. to put it mildly. Same problem you are having. I loved the coffee but the pot was a pain to deal with. The only model worth the money and I'd buy it over and over again is the "Hamilton Beach 48464 Brewstation Summit" Believe me, get the 48464 and you will not be disappointed one bit. GREAT COFFEE, NO LEAKING, NO PROBLEMS... I THINK IT IS BEST TO START OUT WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE SO YOU WILL NEVER BE WEAK ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THAT MODEL AGAIN. GET RID OF THIS ONE AND GET THE ONE I HAVE. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY....

was told by Dolce Gusto customer service that we should never leave water in the tank, in other words, just put enough water to brew coffee and then remove tank, empty it and replace. Mine's been taken away today and I won't be seeing it for nearly a month. Hope they can fix problem as I have a large stock of coffee that cost me a lot of money.

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.

Try running it without any coffee. What does the water alone taste like? If its brand new, then run it through with water (only) a few times, including steaming.

It doesn't appear so. I looked when I checked the leaks, but it seems to be molded with the plastic around it. Maybe someone else knows something about replacing it that I don't. In all fairness, I've had this coffee maker for several years and it just now is rusting through.

This is my second coffee maker like this, I have one in each home. I have never had the problem you are having with either one. A defective unit perhaps?

I've had this same problem. I keep my coffee maker clean, use the clean cycle with vinegar, use Q tip on lid. It's still pouring coffee (or water when I tried to clean it again today) all over my counter top. Mine is less than a year old, usually one pot a day. I'm really frustrated@

I was unable to get the coffee to brew without holding the lid down while brewing. Otherwise, the machine continued to say "not ready." When I did get the coffee brewed, it tasted awful and extremely weak (it was a dark espresso brew), however I have not tested the K cup yet to see whether the taste is the same.This is with the B70, which is about 2 years old. Ekobrew just purchased last week.

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 know what you are talking about -- I get a smell from mine. It is almost like a burnt plastic smell. It notice it when I clean up after making the coffee. It seems to be coming from the area where the filter and water is stored. It still makes a great cup of coffee so I tend to ignore the odor. I'm hoping it lessens overtime.

Yes -- appears to be leaking from the bottom of the machine. Tried using it in "real-time" (made coffee immediately after adding water instead of using programmable mode) and still have the issue.

I've never had this problem. I think you must have a defective brew station.

That is a good sign I'd say: also excessive steaming out of the vent port. It shouldn't make any sounds except the sort of gurgling sound when the coffee is brewing and filling the upper chamber.
