Water leaks from around the top lid or overflows from the brew basket.

Adjust coffee load:

• Use the recommended amount of coffee grounds and avoid overfilling the basket.
• Use a medium grind suitable for drip coffee; espresso-fine grinds can cause overflow.

Clean showerhead:

• Remove the brew basket and, if possible, the showerhead or spray plate.
• Soak in warm soapy water and use a brush or toothpick to clear clogged holes.

Check basket fit:

• Ensure the brew basket is fully inserted and level.

If overflow continues with proper coffee load and a clean showerhead, inspect and replace the brew basket/drip stop assembly if it is not opening correctly.
