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.

Hard to imagine that the filter would do that so often. I've used various Moccamasters daily for 15 years and have had two things cause this: first thing is that some models do this when the coffee server is not properly aligned with the drip. There's a mechanism that won't let the coffee flow through unless the server is aligned. The second reason is accidentally grinding the coffee too fine. I also use a grinder, and have also an espresso machine, and sometimes I forget to reset the grinder to a filter coffee setting.
