Coffee overflows from Brew Basket.
•
Rinse funnel area with Basket removed to clean out sugar from
previous hot cocoa brew.
•
Use Removable Brew Basket with Lid for ground coffee.
•
Use a lesser amount of ground coffee. 3 tablespoons (15 g) is
maximum amount of grounds to brew.
•
When using whole bean coffee, a standard automatic drip coffee
grind will yield best results. Be careful not to overgrind, since very
finely ground coffee can cause overflow.
•
Do not use soft water. Use filtered, spring, or bottled water.
Coffee pod bursts.
•
There is variability in pod manufacturing process which causes
some types of pods to be weaker at seams so foil seal fails. Try a
different brand.
•
If you are using softened water or live in an area where your tap
water is naturally soft, this can cause coffee pod issues and filter
basket overflows. Use filtered, spring, or bottled water.
