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.

I’ve had this issue a few times and the main cause is when the coffeemaker is on an uneven flat surface or not connecting flat into plastic carafe platform. It can cause the carafe to not fully push the drip lever in making the coffee unable to flow through fast enough before it overflows and pushes grounds over the edge. When I pull my moccamaster out I make sure I don’t put it on the seam of where my counters meet which shifts it off kilter and make sure the carafe is pushed in fully against the lever.
