Capresso coffee maker’s brew basket will not stay closed or pops open during brewing.

Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before working around the brew basket.

Steps:

• Reduce fill level: Ensure you are not overfilling the filter basket with coffee, which can cause pressure buildup.
• Inspect latch: Examine the latch hook and catch for cracks or wear. Clean away any coffee residue that may prevent full engagement.
• Check alignment: Make sure the basket is seated correctly on its hinge and not twisted.
• Replace basket: If the latch is broken or the basket is warped, replace the filter basket assembly.
