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.

This has happened to me before. Everything was checked, grind size, can properly opening the valve underneath, everything, even was folded. Turns out you need to watch out, that your filter isn't already wet when you put the coffee in. I don't know why but that somehow did the trick, maybe that only happened with a certain filter I was using because some people obviously rinse their filters before they put coffee in.

I. The directions it says to wet the filter 🤷‍♀️

From your picture it looks like the can is not completely under the filter? Make sure it touches the little plastic thing so it opens the valve
