Possible Causes
Too much coffee in filter, Coffee ground too fine, Clogged brew basket drain, Drip stop partially closed
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before opening the brew basket.
Clear the basket:
- Open the brew basket and remove the filter and grounds.
- Rinse the basket thoroughly, ensuring the bottom drain hole is clear.
- Clean the underside of the brew head/showerhead to remove coffee buildup.
Adjust brewing:
- Use a medium grind coffee and do not exceed the recommended scoop count for your brew size.
- Ensure the drip stop lever is fully open before brewing.
Run a water-only test brew to confirm that water flows cleanly through the basket without overflowing.
