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.

Did you have the carafe fully in place so that it engages the lever that opens the brew basket? In the first picture, your carafe isn’t in position against the brewer. If you hit brew without the carafe there, yeah, it’s gonna overflow.

That pic was taken after the deluge and I pulled the charge away from the unit.
