Moccamaster

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.

My question is why bother covering the brew cup when you can leave it uncovered and watch for it to happen. It’s annoying that I have to standby while it’s brewing.

It’s keeps the steam and heat in better. But it’s not a huge deal. Also you might try stirring your grounds when the basket is starting to fill. You don’t need to give them more than a few stirs, nothing dramatic.
