Water or coffee overflows from the brew basket, spilling onto the counter.

Safety first: Hot coffee can cause burns. Press the power button to stop brewing and allow the unit to cool before cleaning up.

• Stop the brew: Turn off the coffee maker immediately to prevent further overflow.
• Check coffee amount and grind: Use the amount of coffee recommended by OXO and a medium grind. Very fine espresso grind will clog the filter.
• Inspect filter: Remove the paper or metal filter and discard grounds. Rinse the filter thoroughly to remove oils and fines that can block flow.
• Clean drip‑stop: Check the drip‑stop lever or plunger at the bottom of the basket. Ensure it moves freely and is not jammed by grounds. Rinse and clean as needed.
• Test with water only: Run a water‑only cycle with an empty, clean basket to confirm proper drainage before brewing coffee again.
