I made my first batch and there's a leak when I pour. is there supposed to be a gasket on the filter?

ensure you have the top turned the right direction. There is a specific way it goes on so it does not leak.

I use white tephlon tape around the threads of the pipe then screw on the filter it has stopped the leaking. Wrap the tape around the threads of the pipe and then screw on your filter. I hope this is helpful.

Hi friend. Did you let the water run for 5 min after initial installation the fist time? It is in the correct position. Also make sure the filter is on the right position. If this keep happening then I believe that it is defective. I hope not.

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 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~!

I have not had any leaks from the spigot, do a water test when you get it. Make sure the rubber gasket is seated correctly.

yes there should be a rubber gasket. However they do drip down when pouring. Seems like a bother to me, although it does look nice on the table.

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.

I'm not sure what you mean. Did something happen to the gasket on yours or does it just leak? Mine retains liquid every time something is poured from it. It is a huge flaw in this product, wish I could find a new cover that fit and didn't leak.

Open the top valve. Also, you may want to drain a couple of cups out of the filter by opening both valves and bending the hose from the lower connection over (this will keep water from pouring when you remove the top). Then, to prime after you put the top back on, open both valves and pour tank water in to the hose to replace what you drained out. I can open mine to remove or add carbon without spilling a drop on the floor. Hope this helps!

Just take the top off and there should be a black flap. Undo the flap and replace with new filter. Make sure u take the plastic wrapper off of it.!

Is this a new filter unit? If it is new, sounds like defective to me. My experience has been that the filters always end up leaking when it is time to replace. Quality of workmanship and design is not directed at longevity.

Make sure that the grove that the lid fits in is clean before you put the O ring in place. If you don't, it will leak. I have had NO problems with mine, and will get another one.

I used my hands to take my factory aerator off but might need pliers, and I put Teflon tape on threads and hand tightened the filter on. I haven't had any leaks besides swiveling the filter so much it unscrewed it a little but it quit with a quarter turn!

Check to make sure the gasket is located on top of the cutting assembly. I have occasionally put it under the cutting assembly causing all the liquid to poor out.

I didn't. I just changed the filter quickly and had no leakage except what was in the filter itself.

If the leak just above the coffee drip dispense area, that is normal. If anywhere else I'm not sure. Could the unit have been over filled?
