Does this coffee overflow?

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.

Not overflow but the lid gets grounds on it if you use the full amt of water and decent amt of grounds

Could be the coffee is ground too fine. If you are grinding it or having someone grind it, specify it is for a "flat bottom" filter. My guess is the water is flowing over the top because of the fine grind, it can't filter through fast enough.

Yes. There is a sight glass on the right side of the machine. That is the side you pour the water in. You can see the water level rise when pouring. For that matter you can watch it go down while the coffee is brewing if you are of a mind to.

Hi Victoria: I delayed answering your email because I wanted to be 100% sure I was correct. I went home and made a pot of (Mountian Blue) coffee. I filled it up to 5 cups - on the glass carafe it was just a tad under the max line and not a drop spilled. So short answer your pot is defective :(

it looks that you overfilled the the cup with ground coffee,try to have at least 3 mm clearance from the coffee grounds to the edge of the cup

This cup has a slight outside rim, and because the screen mesh is around lower edge and the bottom, I have never had the issue of coffee flowing over the top. I suppose if your coffee was ground extremely fine, this could be an issue.

Yes, but only if it is not set up correctly. It will not flow correctly if you don't put a paper filter in because the grounds will clog the release in the bottom of the basket. Also, if you forget to put the lid on the coffee pot, it will not push up on the release button thus not allowing the coffee to flow and will overflow. Set up correctly, this is the best coffee maker I've ever owned!

Only the small selection on the keurig does not make this cup overflow... The medium and large settings make the cup overflow

The coffee is hot but not too hot to sip after pouring a cup. Also, if the carafe leaks around the top, contact Cuisinart and they will replace it. At least they did for me.........

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.

Make sure you're cleaning out the little float valve on the lid. It can clog up with coffee grinds from time to time if you've put a little too much in the filter area.

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?

I bought the mesh strainers and put the coffee in them and it overflowed.. The unit is made for sealed Pods. Buying coffee in pods makes it very expensive.So, what Idid to overcome it is this.. You can buy Coffee filter made out of paper in the market.. I use the mellita # 1 filters. You put the filter under the retainer and put ground coffee in the filter. You have to make sure the top ring secures the top of the filter so it does not overflow. That will make great coffee.

No. Even with the O-ring problems it is one of the best purchases I have made recently. I no longer use a regular coffee cup. I enjoy lingering over my coffee and it is just the way I like it from the first sip to the last.

When we first got our coffee pot it also left a lot of water on the counter. I use to get my coffee before the all the coffee brewed. I stopped that and we have not had any more water problem

We had this problem with our Bunn Coffeemaker and found a way to avoid the overflow. We wet the paper filter just a bit before adding the coffee grounds. That seems to take care of the overflow. Hope this helps others with the same problem.

I'm not sure what you mean? If the gounds cup is in place properly, there should be no way for coffee to spill out. One warning though. If you use flavored beans, they have oils on them that cause the grounds shoot to clog up quickly. My husband did not realize the shoot was clogged and burned up my motor trying to grind through a clogged shoot.
