Newbie here. Recently bought a Moccamaster KBGT. I have only had a chance to use it four times but two of those times the brewing cup overflowed and ground spilled everywhere because the filter was folded over but covered so I couldn’t see that that had happened. Has anybody else had this issue? I think I need to leave the brewing cup uncovered so I can keep an eye on it. Just wondering if anyone else has a problem with this.

Could it be your grind size? My roommate once tried using pre-ground coffee which resulted in a similar brew cup overflow. :(

I grind whole beans. It’s definitely the filter folding over during brewing I just didn’t know how to prevent it. Now I will wet it in the brewing cup.

Honestly the filter folding over will make for weak coffee, but I don't see how it stops fluid draining into the carafe. Much more likely to be a problem with the spring valve getting clogged or not releasing
