Hot brewed coffee fills the caraf lid and instead of draining into the carafe goes over the lid and on the floor. Who know why?

You may need to line up the carafe better. The hole is very small so being off even a little bit can cause it to spill

It has happened to me also....and for the life I can not figure out why. Have taken to leaving a dish towel shoved up against it in case I don't notice it.

I'm sorry to hear that but I don't have that issue with mine. I'm very pleased with the way my machine operates. Maybe check to make sure there are no clogs in the cover opening.

We thought it was in the mechanism that allows it to drip into the carafe at the bottom of the coffee ground section. Of course since it was more than 30 days when this happened and we could NOT return it, we sent the whole thing back to Capresso where we ordered the old standard one that we had had for 14 years without the carafe. Much happier.

This has happened a few times for me. I have not pinpointed exact reason why. However, it seems to not occur if there is no water inside the carafe lid after washing it, carafe fully seated under basket, and lid closed all the way. Be sure nothing obstructs the small overflow opening on the lid also. Water should be able to run through it easily... as opposed to center hole.

When you remove the carafe to pour a cup while it is still brewing, the brewing continues and the outlet for coffee coming out of the bottom of the basket closes. If you take too long pouring your cup, the brewing coffee will overflow the top of the basket. I have never managed to be that slow fortunately!

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 had that problem the first time I used mine, cause the coffee did not stay hot. I then put the lever down when not in use and it keep the coffee hotter. Its hard to explain but on the lever that keeps the pump up, just flip that thing back and the pump will go back down in the closed position again. Sorry hard to explain, hope that helps.

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?

Coffee is brewed and stored in a plastic reservoir with a metal plate inside. The metal plate in the reservoir comes into contact with the actual heating element (the "hot plate") below the plastic container the hot coffee is stored in. This is probably why the darn things leak. Both earlier versions of this coffee pot and the newer models. Both have leaked within just a few months of us buying them. It was super convenient at first, but having to scrub coffee from your counter and under other appliances and out of the grout of the back splash... not so convenient.

There is some wiggle room. If it were pressed with no space, it would force the grounds back into the coffee. At least that's what I've figured. Mine has wiggle room and the coffee is great.

A little less than 9 cups is my guess, since that's how much water you put in. Some moisture is stuck in the beans, so that is lost, but most comes through. I usually let it drain while I'm at work, rather than the usually suggested half hour. I've found that I get much more of the coffee out of the grounds and into the carafe.

I've had this same problem. I keep my coffee maker clean, use the clean cycle with vinegar, use Q tip on lid. It's still pouring coffee (or water when I tried to clean it again today) all over my counter top. Mine is less than a year old, usually one pot a day. I'm really frustrated@

Coffee goes in from the top. If you have it under a countertop you will need to move it out.

If your carafe drips from the handle perhaps it's defective. Mine is perfect. Does it drip while pouring or while brewing? I would carefully examine the handle and the flip top. Does the top fit tight inside the rim? Does the hole where the coffee comes out line up with the hole in the top? This coffee maker wasn't cheap so if you like the pot, I'd ask for a replacement.

Also check the plate under the coffee cup. It is there to catch overflow from the cup. My pricey Keurig has the same thing under the mug but much larger. Be sure to clean out the little overflow under the mug because it can get moldy if you forget.

If it works fine with just water, then maybe you packed in the coffee too tightly. It might take some trial & error to get it right.

Coffee drips into caraff. Pour from caraff. You have to align lid on caraff with marks to pour properly

Use a Dremel with a cutting wheel to make an opening in the carafe lid just large enough to pop the floating ball out with a slotted screwdriver. Be sure to retain enough of the top-center portion of the lid so the coffeemaker will continue to work regardless of the carafe position. The result is much easier than trying to keep the lid completely clean and dry, no? The ball causes the problem, yet serves no purpose that I can tell except to add a small amount of insulation to the carafe.

Sounds like a defect....if it is coffee that is leaking out, there is a crack somewhere in the pot. If it was steam, I would suggest vegetable oiling the screwing part. Also there is the possibility you might be using too much coffee. As you put coffee in the hopper, tamp it down with the spoon after each addition and fill it just below the rim. But to be honest, it sounds like it is defective.

I'm not sure why this was sent to me. We bought the coffeemaker and haven't had to replace the carafe by itself.
