My mug is about 1½ cups. If I press the dispense button a 2nd time, will it overflow or can stop it?

Hello Bill, your coffee will not over flow just remove your cup off the dispense button. Refill at any time. Enjoy

when you fill the cup you are pressing against the bar (button). as long as the bar is depressed the coffee will flow. just watch your cup to make sure it doesn't overflo. when cup is filled just remove the cup.

The machine dispenses as long as you hold the mug against the button. It doesn't meausure a cup for you.

it doesn't dispense a measured amount. It only dispenses while you hold the button. You control the amount.

sorry - I don't have a dispense button on my brew station. You hold the cup up against the bar and fill it as full as you want.

Have to disagree with that answer. Just to clarify... to make a 12 oz mug of coffee, I press the "+" button once, and then the "Start" button. On the third morning after I'd gotten the T55, mine ran out of water in the middle of brewing a mug. It stopped the brewing process. Not knowing exactly what to do, I refilled the tank, crossed my fingers, and pressed the start button... and it finished brewing the mug, releasing the correct amount of water, without overflowing. As explained in my review of the T55, the tank's water level is clearly visible from the front of the machine, through a "window", when there is no cup on the holder. The top of the window is just above the "max fill" line, and the bottom of the window is about half-an-inch above "empty". To brew a 12 oz mug, the water level needs to be about 1.5" above the bottom edge of the window. I don't use the water-filter or its holding-tank; simply filling the main tank with filtered water, instead. This allows me to brew four 12 oz mugs before needing to refill the tank.

My pot has only overflowed when I forgot that I still had water in it! I'll put a potful of cold water into the carafe, and then while I'm grinding the beans I'll keep hot water in the pot to rewarm it. Once, I forgot and stuck the full pot back under the filter, and boy did it overflow. I'll never do that again! But, other than that, no.

If you added a cup of batter to this cupcake mold, it would definitely overflow! This is jumbo sized and works great with a 1/2 cup of batter. They become 1 cup when baked. Look for extra jumbo cups, don't know if they exist though!

Usually, if I decide I want less water flow on any of the three buttons, I press the current button and the water shuts off. I haven't had what you're experiencing, but I'd pull the cup away and let the extra water gather in the drop container so my coffee wouldn't get too watered down. You might have to email Nespresso if this continues to happen.

HI, you will need to pump it or hold the button down. I pump mine a few times to fill the cup faster. It will fill with 1 pump , buts gets a little slow. Hope this helps. Rita

I'm not really supplying an answer for you but when I go to fill with water to make a pot of coffee, the water starts filling at the travel mug line, it doesn't go down to the single serving where it should start for either pot or cup. so it won't make a pot of coffee or single serving. Also the booklet provided doesn't say anything about that the single lever should be pushed down when brewing a pot of coffee.

I use the single serve cups all the time. It has never leaked. You can't over fill it though. I had that problem with my magic bullet.

I've had this machine for only 4 days now, and the only problem I see with it is that even with low levels of coffee grounds they come perilously close to overflowing the #4 cone filter. I suspect this is due to two factors: 1) the filter basket bottom is flat so that once the filter is wet it sags to conform which lowers it and allows grounds to overflow, and 2) I suspect water flows faster than other coffeemakers I've had (DCC-1200) and this causes water to stay in the basket longer. I'm using the same amount and grind on my coffee and also the same filters and this was never an issue on the DCC-1200. I'll experiment a bit and hopefully find a solution or this is going back.

I just checked mine and two 8 oz cups made it mostly full and three made it full but not overflowing. Hope that helps.

This one won't do that. I got another travel mug from theculturedcup.com that should work for you. It's a new product, so you'll need to email to ask for it. The mug is made by Planetary Design. It has an infuser tube with a solid bottom section that stops brewing when you depress the French press style plunger. If you want to reinfuse your tea all you have to do is remove the plunger and add more water. Bed Bath and Beyond also carries these. The cost is about $30.

You have to press kind of hard to dispense it so it might crush your cup. But, you can push the lever with your hand, as Jonathan mentions.

When you hit the brew button it will dispense espresso until you press the button again for it to stop. The unit shuts itself off automatically when you haven't used it for about 20 minutes.

i simply fill it as much as i need (no more or less). if that is a cup or even a fraction of a cup... i fill it and there is no problem. however, you can't read the volume on the handy little guide it provides in the handle... because the amount is insufficient to register. but, it heats the volume you put in just the same. the only limit, really, is the upper volume limit. but no lower limit. hope that helps. i had the same question.

you put in how many beans you want grinded, you put in how much water you want ------ the insulated metal container only holds 1/2 as much water/coffee as a glass container. Hence it is easy to put too much water in the machine and hence it overflows,,, it brews however much water you put in it. You have no clue how much coffee is in the container as it brews. so you only know it is full when it spill on your computer.

I took my cooking measuring cup, measured out 15 oz of water, which overflowed the mug, tried again with lesser amount, it would just about hold 14 oz. I was not pleased as it did not meat specifications, so I am stuck with mugs I do not like. Pat

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.
