The frother overflows; what is wrong? I use skim milk no higher than the Minimum fill line. This usually happens on the second cup brewed.

Mine did a couple of times , check under the top of the frothier and try adjusting the rubber gasket and make sure the lid is on snug ,,,,mine works great now

I think everyone has had this happen. You stated that it usually overflows on your second cup, are you using fresh cold milk? I've tried "re-frothing" the leftover milk (which is up to the minimum level) for a second cup. It tries to hard and over flows. I've found that if it appears like it's going to overflow, I just pull the frothing cup out. No mess.

It usually overflows when it's below the min line. You need to fill it above the min line and not above the max.

It happens to me too unless I completely rinse out all of the previous foam. The frother pitcher must be rinsed completely between uses.

I would try adjusting the rubber gasket on the arm of the frother like Fran Harry suggested and see if that works. If it doesn't improve I'd contact Keurig customer service. Good luck!

Try a higher fat content milk just to see how that works out. The rule of thumb is...less fat, more froth. Maybe you're getting too much froth because of the thin consistency of the skim milk. Although that still shouldn't happen. Also, do you run a cycle of water to warm up the frother before each use like is recommended? It seems like you have an over abundance of steam going into the frother. Try those two things and see what happens.

This is the one I like most of all. Do you recall letting water or milk go over the metal, into the motor part of it? I'm thinking that that could be a reason why it stops working... Have you ever tried something like the a Bodum chambord frother? It's not a battery operated hand held but those work really well. I loved mine but the glass cup broke and couldn't find a replacement for it at the time.

This happened to me several times also.... was very disappointing because I love the coffee! Since then, I close the top of my Keurig carefully and that has seemed to help.

hi, I got a couple of new ones from Nespresso, made no difference...I just think the machine is not up tp it, I even got anew machine and more whisks...but this week, not much froth, just warm milk, very annoying...yet my friend has an old machine that works every time...need to find an antique! Good luck. Am going to put my machine on e bay...never been so disappointed, I was going to buy a machine for my sons...but they are not keen any more having seen my results.

I usually only fill it 3/4 full with grounds. Also I think it depends on what type of reusable cup you use with it. If you can't seal it good before the brewing starts, that might contribute to your issue too. Good luck!

Hi, Peyton! That is precisely why I detest the coffee maker. I talked with Kitchen Aid; they are not willing to accept return of the product; they would send me some replacement part which is supposed to remedy the overflow problem. The overflow occurred whether I brewed 2, 6, 12 or any amount. I honestly don't see how the new part will correct the issue, but I'm going to try.

There are two marks on the carafe and you can fill it up to those marks or less, never to exceed the top mark...and at least to cover the frothing disk. I love mine and use it practically every day.

Try filling it more slowly , if you pour too fast, it will overflow before it fills up the chamber below.

Are you packing it? And how full? Oddly enough I think I remember it flowing a little better if it was more full. I keep mine pretty full for a stronger brew and haven't had too many problems. but I do notice that it brews inherently a little slower than a regular k-cup. I believe this could just be a design issue with the reusable cups. I've heard a similar complaint from others in the office with other brands.

Make sure you aren't putting too much water in. I tend to overfill mine and I have a watery mess when I do. There's a fill line and you can't go even the littlest bit over that.

i have found the best milk for frothing using this machine and others is 0%-I would suggest trying that and see if it works better-

Reduce the amount of coffee in the recipe for the drink you are making. Sounds like too much coffee is going into the brewer and overflowing. Even when operating perfectly you will get some grinds in the tray.

You can only froth a small quantity at a time, enough for one or two cappuccinos, or three to four macchiatos. Pouring in too much milk will make the foam overflow. We typically make one cappuccino at a time and several in a row...

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).

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!!!

Are you sure it's not your Keurig? Mine died recently ... and that's what it was doing beforehand. You might run your machine thru a cycle with nothing (no Java Jig) to see if the water is coming out normally. If that's not it ... you might be using too much coffee or too fine a grind. I always left 1/4 inch or so space above the coffee when I filled mine. I also use a regular drip grind. When my Keruig was working, the Java Jig worked best of all the refillable cups I tried.

I had that happen as well--appeared to be coming from the top seam on the left side where the back of the unit meets the top of the unit. (It wasn't obvious.) Also had a broken seal at the top of the frothing wand where it connects to the top portion of the machine. I had to get the (2 separate) machines replaced--luckily they were under warranty.
