Has anyone had any leaking problems while coffee is brewing?

Yes, but only if it is not set up correctly. It will not flow correctly if you don't put a paper filter in because the grounds will clog the release in the bottom of the basket. Also, if you forget to put the lid on the coffee pot, it will not push up on the release button thus not allowing the coffee to flow and will overflow. Set up correctly, this is the best coffee maker I've ever owned!

Yes. happened on the second one that broke. I didn't bother to send the second machine back. Just bought a new machine that wasn't a fire hazard. Very bad luck with 2 of these machines. Very disappointed

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.

Yes, and it is set up correctly. Serious leaking, about one-half cup or more per brew. The metal plate under the machine is corroded. A safety hazard.

I did for about a year. I couldn't locate the source (I think it was the tube going from the bottom of the reservoir to the basket0, but it was 4 years old and not worth fixing anyway. I replaced it with the same model, however, because I found it the best value of all grind and brew machines.

Must setup correctly. I always use paper filter. Make sure it's only 1 paper filter.

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.

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.

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.

Coffee is brewed and stored in a plastic reservoir with a metal plate inside. The metal plate in the reservoir comes into contact with the actual heating element (the "hot plate") below the plastic container the hot coffee is stored in. This is probably why the darn things leak. Both earlier versions of this coffee pot and the newer models. Both have leaked within just a few months of us buying them. It was super convenient at first, but having to scrub coffee from your counter and under other appliances and out of the grout of the back splash... not so convenient.

Coffee tastes pretty good. Coffemaker is good. I am only concerned because the carafe leaks.

I washed ours out before we made any coffee, we have not had any problems with ours at all

Mine started leaking at the bottom about 10 months in..will be replacing it when it dies with a Keurig.

Ours is not leaking, however the kettle is not the best quality which I expected from Krups. The automatic off switch does not always engage, and I'm just waiting for the mechanism which keeps the lid closed to break. It is the identical mechanism on our older cheaper kettle which did break. Hope this helps.

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

I have not found that to be an issue. You just have to tip it further over to get the last of the coffee strained through

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.

First did you wash out the coffee pot before use, and second maybe the water. I have never had a problem

When we first got our coffee pot it also left a lot of water on the counter. I use to get my coffee before the all the coffee brewed. I stopped that and we have not had any more water problem

All coffee makers are going to produce a little steam at some point. The BVMC-PSTX91 is one of our best models and works just fine. Leaks can happen due to non cleaning for backed up grounds. If you ever encounter issues with your coffee maker, please don't hesitate to call Mr. Coffee direct for help.

Yes - but unless Mr. Coffee has improved its quality control, this coffee maker is likely to leak and subsequently quit completely. See the reviews on Amazon. (The most recent review mentioning leakage was a month ago, so I suspect it continues to be an unreliable product.) Mine leaked a little from the very beginning, but not enough to be unusable. However it stopped completely after a year.
