This product is really poor quality. I had problems with the heating coil, I will never buy this brand again.If you can get a refund , do so.

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

You are correct in not pleasing everyone. Yes, on following the manufacture's instructions. The leaks come from the screw on cap getting loose while the unit grinds down the contents - in reverse of how you tightened it in the first place. There is a hole in the power unit so the liquid drains out but it is very messy. :)

You might have filled it up too much or check the piece that goes under the cap to cover spout hole, sometimes people put it on backwards and it leaks.

I had the same problem as yours. But after I used Teflon tape as you did and let is leak little for a week or so, it stopped by itself. So hope it will happen to you also.

Mine did not leak. If yours is leaking, it's probably a manufacturer's defect and you should return it.

I have had 2 small puddles of water since I purchased mine. Not clear exactly why it leaked but it is erratic and not bad. It may be my dog and the way she uses it. I know one time I took it apart to clean - I forgot how to put it back together and it leaked bad until I did it correctly.

We had ours for six months then it started going off on its own until it spilled all over the place. We tried replacing batteries and making sure nothing was on the sensor to no avail it still kept leaking all over the place. We threw it in the trash because of mess and frustration. Sorry I was no help to you!

I had the same problem and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but after I gave it a good cleaning it stopped. Now maybe you can tell me how to stop it from leaking? It constantly drips and if I don't forget to watch it I end up with water all over my counter.

AFter three weeks of use mine started leaking. At first I thought I did not screw the lid tight, so I unscrewed the lid and screw it back on again making sure it was tight but it started to leak again. I went back to my $12, one that I have had for two years and still works great. The Zojirushi looks nice and keeps liquid warm for the whole day I was impressed until it started leaking, it's a waste of money. I guess its good if you only put solid stuff in it.

Ours is leaking uncontrollably. We had the maintenance guy in our building come put it in so I know it's not an installation error.

If you have not bought it yet don't.... I read that it fills with water... so I tried to seal it in all dimensions. It still leaked after 10 minutes in the water. good luck

I would buy a different model/brand. I've had this diffuser for just 2 days and it has started leaking. Followed the instructions to the letter but still leaked. I even tried to use it with half the amount of water it's supposedly able to hold and it still leaked. I'm not talking about a little perspiration on the outside of the unit, this thing leaked a small stream from the center seam opening where the 2 halves close together. It's a bad design flaw, IMO. It's too bad because it looked nice and put out a nice stream of mist. I boxed it up and sent it back to amazon this afternoon. I have a smaller unit made by NOW and it's more reliable than this model. No leaking at all but it is quite small. I would buy a different model/brand.

Sorry, I don't know. I don't use mine enough to determine if it leaks or not.

Mine leaks out of the terminals. It makes a vibrating noise, its a horrible box.

Mine doesn't leak, maybe put some pipe tape around the threads see if that works
