Why do I have liquid (not coffee) leaking from the bottom?

I didn't keep it i couldn't get the handle & pouring thing to line up. Sorry

well.... is the bottom unscrewed at all?? OR if you look inside with a flashlight? is it cracked? that is all i can guess at, maybe they will replace it for free, i would imagine they would anyway. good luck!

one time i had a leak, it was caused by putting more water in the top than needed in the bottom half...do not put more water than has been used i eyeball the measure with my fingers the height of the water missing in the bottom and put the same measure of water in the top......no more leaks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Contact the company. Mine doesn't leak. Are you overfilling the water reservoir?This machine will not drip coffee if you pull the carafe out in the middle of brewing.

If its the Pressure valve on the side of the bottom chamber, then it a definite defect and you should request a replacement. If it's the coffee release valve( that consists of two pieces) on the upper chamber, then you need to make sure that top piece is secured tightly to the screw like piece underneath.

we've had the same issue on rare occassion. I have no idea why it is leaking and we have also checked it, cleaned it, etc. it seems to be more of an issue when it is overly full.

Liquid is poured into the large reservoir on the bottom. This is where it tends to leak when you are trying to empty out the unused solution before cleaning.

you may have gotten a defected sippy cup. I love these cups for bringing water with me. You just squeeze at the base of the spout. The end of the spout with hold a little juice/milk after my child drinks from these, so they are strictly water sippys in my house.

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

same happened to me as well. I'm returning it for another reason though which is it leaks from everywhere!

don't know if you're still worrying about this, but in case you haven't gotten an answer: it might be because you aren't pressing down hard enough to create a seal. water may leak through the sides and down into the "filtered" section.

I would recommend soaking the lid in vinegar for awhile, and i have even cleaned the float valve (? - circular stop valve) w/ q-tips -- clean that area out really well. I would also recommend highly to use coffee filters vs. the reuable gold filter. Once i cleaned and used disposible filters -- it stopped the leaking. Good luck to you~!

where is the leak in the bottom cap , if so check to see if the gasket is there. and also see if its not ripped/ torn anywheres along the edges . if it the little plunger make sure there is no scale build up on it that might keep it open when you turn the reservoir back over when you carry it . other wise it may have a crack some place .

Make sure you have all the air out of it when you screw the top on. I find that helps keep it from leaking.

I think the liquid woul probably leak out. It's not what they are made for. I could see maybe ice cream pops.

I have had mine for almost 6 months without a drop of leaking. Perhaps try reassembling it.

Mine leaks as well - check the lid and see if the silicon ring is missing or damaged. I believe that's the cause for my leak. Still checking to see if I can replace that part...
