Filter coffee maker overflows; coffee and grounds spill over the filter basket.

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

Steps:

• Adjust coffee: Use the recommended amount of coffee and a medium grind suitable for drip brewing.
• Clean filter basket: Remove the basket and clean the outlet hole and drip-stop mechanism thoroughly.
• Check carafe position: Ensure the carafe is fully pushed in so it opens the drip-stop valve properly.
• Test with water only: Run a cycle with water only to confirm proper flow through the basket.
