I had the same issue. I ended up buying a parts KP1010 and replaced the top. I was lucky that the parts KP1010 had good parts. I had to do this twice.

Not sure what happened with the other folks but mine will be 2 years old next month and I haven't had a single issue. My Keurig brand before this only lasted 1 year. I use mine about 6 times a week. Coffee, tea and cocoa.I do use R/O water (though I read that I should not), as I want my coffee to taste good.

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 :(

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@

I occasionally get grinds in my cup when using any brand of K-cups. The foil top could seal around the piercing needle and the hot water builds up pressure so it squirts out the bottom hole with much pressure! Or we might need to pierce the top twice and make the hole too large?? Who knows! All you need to do is strain it with a tea strainer! It only happens to me about once a year. I love my Keurig anyway!

Seems to leak from the water gauge..at the side ...? Unless you are overfillng, then it comes out the overflow hole in the back. Hope this helps.....love the maker itself but the "gauge" has me troubled...Lynn

Sorry, but after I gave my review mine started leaking and quit heating. No longer in use! I replaced mine with a 30 cup Westbend with spout.

Haven't really had that issue. I guess it would depend on how much is spilled? For me typically there are just a couple drips that might run down the cup and never even get to the "saucer" Just a nice backup to full saucer

Since that has never been a problem for me, I would have to watch how you pour the coffee. Maybe the pot is too close to the cup. It only spills when I am filling the canister and that is because I am holding the pot too close to it and am in a hurry, so just wipe up the water when done. I love this coffee pot and never want a different kind.

I don't anything about a pod sealer, however, I have a small strainer that fits in my cups, and I use it in case any coffee grounds should come out of the pod. I actually haven't used the "do it yourself" pods very often, but I think the strainer would solve the leak problems.

does pod get moldy if you leave it in for 2nd/3rd cup? I would think so. I drink 2 cups a day and I'd feel uncomfortable leaving pods in there for reuse hours after initial use. Thoughts?

We use one in our office here and have run into this problem only two or three times when we first got it. We figured out a few things that can lead to this issue:-users mistakenly leaving the drip-stop in the half-shut position when brewing-loose grounds building up in the drip stop mechanism after successive brews (especially overflows) and blocking water flow-coffee that is too finely ground-gold filter not being seated fully/properly in the basket

People have had problems with using the K-cup adapter portion of the Solofil V2. Their Brewers are not destroyed just clogged. I have a solution. The clogging happened to my V500. I have found a way to fix the issue. The problem is that the needle that punches the top of the K-cup gets clogged. This happens because the Vue positions the K-cup in the brewer sidways so the needle is in a position for grounds to get into it. This doesn't happen with Vue cups because the area where the needle punches into the vue cup has an indent of filter material that prevents grounds coming in contact with the needle. It also does not happen in the k-cup brewers because those brewers position the K-cup upright when brewing. The fix is to unfold a paper clip and rod out the needle hole. This can be done by opening the top of the brewer and inserting the end of the paper clip in the hole of the needle (flashlight needed). Once you have inserted it move it in and out a few times, remove, close the brewer and brew an 8oz cup with nothing in the machine. You will see loose grounds in the cup. Everything should work now until it happens again (unfortunately it will).

I have never had spillage when pouring "every last drop." However, I did notice, while considering your question, that after pouring the brew & removing the paper filter, 3 or 4 drops gather in the carafe, probably drips from the filter cone walls. This filter cone and lid are designed to be left on the carafe, except when cleaning; you can not put the lid on the carafe without the filter funnel.

One pod, or it can get clogged. If you want stronger coffee there are different brands that have a richer, stronger flavor. Or use less water, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a big cup of coffee!

The instructions say don't use 2 pods - and the way the pod holder slides into the machine makes the top pod shift out of place. I use 1 pod at a time and set the machine to 5 ounces of water. When the first cycle is done I put in a new pod and do the same again so I end up with my 10 ounce cup.The reheat time is quite quick so 1 pod at a time is no issue at all. Enjoy!

this unit is very poorly made. If you notice there is a little "spout" that the holding tank is supposed to push down when the tank is properly in place. My guess is this was to prevent what you are experiencing. I have the same issue and I have discovered that if you take a sponge and soak up the water before each pot is made it won't overflow. Honestly I'm just hanging onto mine until I make my mind up to get a Keurig.
