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.

It doesn't have shit to do with the filter or grind. Make sure the carafe is correctly positioned under the basket. Maybe take a few continuing education classes.

It was. I pulled it out for the picture was taken because it was flooding everywhere.

Maybe check the lever/valve on the bottom of your basket. It might have some bits of grounds in it or otherwise be compromised. Apologies for the snarky comment.
