Mine also leaked. I contacted Hamilton Beach and returned it. Perhaps you'll need to do the same.

It has something to do with the way the reserve is reset in the unit. My husband fills it with a pitcher and has not had any further trouble

Mine has a water build up inside that I must dump. I don't have any water leaking out on the counter

We had our first one replaced under warranty for the same issue after cleaning with vinegar twice and our replacement now has the same problem after 6 months (we brew once a day) . I would never buy this coffee maker again it must be some flaw in the design.

We've had the same issue with our coffee maker. Unscrewed the plate on the bottom of the machine and found an orange "rubber" water hose had cracked and is leaking. I was able to remove the hose, off the cracked portion and reinstall with just enough length remaining, though this will probably happen again. I will go to a hardware store to look for replacement hose materials, its not too hard to replace with a needle nose pliers or forceps are best. I don't know if this is an issue with cheap materials or city water issues, nevertheless I was disappointed and will not be buying another Cuisinart. Its only about 1.5 yrs old.

They're all like that. Piece of very faulty engineering. Mine also leaks out the end of the handle, dripping coffee on the counter unless I remember to put something under it. 2 weeks ago, just short of a year I've had it, it QUIT.

I have had my coffeemaker since April and initially gave it a bad review because of this problem. The answer for me is the positioning of the carafe on the heating plate. If it is not in EXACTLY the right position you will get the overflow of grounds and minimal coffee will flow into the pot. After a while you get a feel for the exact right position, but the machine is very finicky and even now I find myself occasionally missing the spot. Other than that, it is a great coffeemaker.

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.

The unit I received was missing one of the o-rings on the water tank (there should be two), and was leaking immediately. After receiving a replacement from De'Longhi I haven't had any leakage. The bitter taste is probably due to the coffee grounds you are using...

I dont see any way to drain it(there may be a way). They had a super bad problem with pumps on these and Kuerig as they made the internals for both coffee makers.I am now looking for a machine not made by them.My machine just sat there and buzzed , no water or coffee no matter what I did.

Sell the carafe on eBay and put the rest in the garbage. Mine did the same after 3 months.

I have had no issues with the Carafe leaking. My only issue is that the coffee does not stay hot very long

I asked Hamilton Beach and the response I got, was this is a problem that we cannot fix or correct, I was welcome to select another coffee pot. What happens is that water condenses in the lid from the steam and goes down the inside of the back behind the holding tank. It gathers on each side of the heating element. Most of the time on mine it gathers on the right hand side but occasionally on the left. After each pot of coffee, before I make the next pot, I use paper towels to soak up the water and thus far none has gone onto the counter! I like everything about the pot except this water problem, I'm still trying to decide if I'l go for another product which has been offered by Hamilton Beach.

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?

Eric it sounds like when you initially set it up you did not add enough water and there may not be enough water in the reservoir. Or you do not brew coffee enough and water is evaporating off between brews. I would check the Bunn Web site as they were quite helpful when I needed them.

My Coffeemaker was only good for 8 month before it gave up on me. The water is very difficult to poor in (the angel) and the coffee is not very hot, bad choice to buy.

Seems to be a common problem with this unit. If you look closely there are two holes on the bottom. Mine started leaking from one of those. A safety feature perhaps, but seems to be a flaw also. I ended up replacing mine! It started leaking about 14 months after purchase. I used it every day.

I have one and it works Great. Are you locking the coffee filter in tightly? Sometimes if there are few grains of coffee on the sealing edge of the filter it will leak. Ensure that it is clean. Also use the filter with the two discharge ports. The other filter is much harder to use and achieve satisfactory results. Hope this helps.
