Single-serve brewer sprays coffee or steam around the pod area during brewing.

Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before opening the lid.

• Check pod placement:
  • Ensure pod is centered and fully seated in the holder.
• Inspect pod quality:
  • Discard any swollen, damaged, or deformed pods.
• Clean exit needle and gasket:
  • Use a paper clip to clear the lower needle.
  • Inspect the rubber gasket around the upper needle; replace the pod holder if torn.

Persistent spraying indicates a sealing or pressure issue; replacing the pod holder assembly is often the most effective fix.
