Water leaks from the top of the Swan coffee maker around the filter basket area.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning.

User checks:

• Reduce coffee quantity: Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended amount of ground coffee for the basket size.
• Grind size: Avoid very fine espresso grind in drip models; use a medium grind to prevent clogging.
• Clean drip-stop: Remove and clean the drip-stop valve and surrounding area to ensure it opens freely.

Seal inspection:

• Inspect the brew head gasket or rubber seal around the shower head for cracks or deformation.
• Replace the gasket if it is worn or flattened.
• Ensure the filter basket and lid are correctly aligned and fully closed before brewing.
