Carafe lid or spout drips when pouring, even when pouring carefully.

Safety first: Allow the carafe to cool before disassembly.

• Clean lid and spout: Disassemble the carafe lid (if possible) and clean all channels and seals thoroughly.
• Inspect gasket: Check the rubber gasket for cracks or flattening. Replace if worn.
• Avoid dishwasher heat: Hand-wash the carafe and lid to prevent warping.

If dripping persists and the lid or carafe is visibly warped or cracked, replace the carafe assembly.
