Why is my beautiful Aeroccino leaking? No matter how much milk is inside, it starts oozing. Have moved the "open" part of the lid around, still leaks

Mine does the same thing if I fill it even close to the max line. I just fill it up to under the max line and it works better, still leaks some but not as much as before.

Switch your frother whisk! It comes with one located at the bottom of the machine and one on the lid. I haven't had a leak since I switched the two!

Vanessa, maybe you're over filling it. Follow the instructions, there are a couple of markings inside to tell you how much milk to put in your Aeroccino. Good luck!!!

That is strange. The only time mine ever leaked is when I filled it too much. I usually use the paddle because I don't like too much froth but, it shouldn't leak regardless. The frother that looks like a spring really does froth the milk a lot and I noticed that you don't even have to overfill by much for it to leak, especially if you're using non fat milk. I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, try contacting Nespresso, or Amazon. I will tell you that mine doesn't leak and even my kids use it, so perhaps yours has a defect.

mine does this too - its seems like a fundamental design flaw to me. as the milk spins around it induces a centripetal effect along with surface tension so rises up the walls. There is a slight gap where the spout is and thats where the milk exits. They should have developed a gasket to close the gap. Otherwise a great elegant device. I found a small piece of paper towel wedged under the gap helps- not so elegant!!

I stop using the lid, and it no longer leaks out the top. The round lid does not work on the Aerocinno with a spout - if the milk touches the lid, it will leak out through the spout gap. Without the lid, I find that I can even overfill both when making lattes (stirrer) and cappuccinos (frother) - Venti-equivalent. I would think that Aericcino 3 (no spout) would work better in this respect.

Put less milk into the Aerocinno. Nespresso replaced mine and it works beautifully. But, if you put too much milk in the container it will overflow. i only pour what I will use for that cup in the machine! Good luck. I love mine!

I've never had this problem with mine. In fact, I don't even use the lid anymore. I just put milk in until the stirrer is barely covered, and the the milk doesn't slosh over the edge. Is the lid's rubber gasket seated correctly? Be sure not to fill it above the "Max" line?

It's probably because you overfilled it and/or used the wrong paddle. I always try to fill just below the fill line because it doesn't take much to overfill (the line is under the word "MAX").

The coffee grounds must be wiped away from the edges of the cup holding them-otherwise a seal won't be made between the top & bottom. Also, do not pack the coffee -- it won't allow the stream to penetrate & will cause the pressure to build , causing the leaking & pressure valve to steam outward. Also, make sure you use espresso grind only. Important: make sure the top & bottom are tightly screwed together. That will also let the steam leak between the pieces. Press down the top button, if you put milk in for cappuccino. This isn't a fast process, but it's good. Just keep your instructions nearby for a bit.

In my opinion, this is a terrible frother! I thought my machine was defective and got a replacement one with the same issue. I sent mine in and Nespresso found nothing wrong with it but the milk came out watery with a small amt of bubbles on top. The aeroccino plus I had frother really well so I knew what the froth should've looked like. I would not get this is you are expecting thick froth.

I would contact Klean Kanteen. This sounds like a warranty issue. Flat cap should not be leaking.

Hi Jase,I've noticed that if I fill the bottle to capacity there could be some liquid leaking. However, as long as there's some room between the bottom of the cap once fastened all the way, you should have no leaking.Also, could be good to check the rubber seal to see if it's been warped or damaged. If it's looking good, there should be no problem fastening it nice and tight.Hope that helps...

Your mug is definitely defective. It should not leak at all. I would contact Amazon customer service describing the defect and ask them what to do. If they cannot help, contact Contigo customer service by logging onto their website.

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.

I don't have such problem. The carafe only releases some steam upon completion of the drink, which is normal. You might want to make sure you don't put too much milk in the carafe (see the MIN and MAX lines).

I had one that did the same thing that I finally had to throw away and buy a new one. Thankfully they don't cost to much. Anyway's just be sure the cap is screwed on tight and maybe pour out some of the nectar so there's not so much overflow. If it keeps leaking then it's just the cause of a bad feeder and you will have to buy a new one. I've had about 5 of them and I only had one that leaked bad. Goodluck!

Either your caps or your bottles are defective. Exchange them with Amazon or contact Lifefactory directly. I own 10 of the 9-ounce size bottles and have used them to transport drinks for my daughter almost daily for over a year. I have never had one leak. We also use them to mix formula and have to shake them vigorously for several minutes; no leaks. Lifefactory advertises these as leakproof so I'm sure they will help you resolve the issue if Amazon doesn't. Good luck!

What exactly is leaking? If it's coffee when you pour it, you need to tighten the cover as much as you can prior to pouring

I just screwed the lid on like any bottle or sippy cup. I did not over tighten or under tighten. Just snug. Then they suck on the edge and it comes out. I tried it.... Works great. My 4 and 6 year old kids want one too. I have not tried milk in it yet but it should be fine. No leaks that i have seen.

The best advice I can give is to push the spring loaded plunger on the milk frother with a toothpick and make sure it moves freely. It not a bad idea to take it apart (the frother) and clean all the parts once a week or so.. However once the pressure release valve on the side goes bad there's nothing you can do as I have not been able to find replacement parts. Had to throw mine away

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

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

There are three seals. One each side for sealing the drinking holes, and a third near the handle. Assuming the seals are in the locked position (turn the small knob under the lid a quarter turn clockwise) a leak could mean the O rings are damaged. Check them all especially the one near the carrying handle. When the seals are locked you shold be able to turn the while thing upside down without any drips

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.
