Water or coffee drips from around the filter basket area during brewing.

Safety first: Beware of hot coffee and steam; unplug before cleaning.

• Reduce coffee amount: Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended coffee quantity for your Panasonic model.
• Adjust grind: Use a coarser grind suitable for drip brewing. Espresso-fine grinds can cause overflow.
• Clean basket and gasket: Remove the filter basket and clean all surfaces, including the rubber gasket where the basket meets the brew head. Replace paper filters each use.
• Inspect for cracks: Check the basket and its housing for cracks or warping. Replace the basket or gasket if damaged.
