Coffee leaking into grounds drawer

We accidently ran our coffee maker without the filter in place; what a mess. I got it all cleaned up; used q-tips and a little wire to get the coffee grounds out of all the nooks and crannies and got it running again. But now it is leaking coffee into the grounds drawer; makes me think I dislodged a gasket or something. Advice?

On top of the Brew Group is an arm that dispenses the coffee into the cup. Did you remove the arm? There are two screws that secure the arm to the top of the Brew Group. When you remove the two screws you'll find a spring that's inserted into a hole. Be carefull. There is a ball below the spring in the bottom of the hole. Don't loose it. At the top of the hole where the plate for the arm mounts and covers the hole, there should be an o-ring gasket. If you removed the arm while cleaning and didn't put the o-ring back in, you'll get this problem.

Grounds in coffee. am using bunn coffee filters and still have a mess in my cup and in filter

Are you using a finer ground coffee? Or do you have a water softener, use filtered water or bottled water? If so, please call customer service to get a flow restrictor sprayhead which will eliminate this issue.

Brewed coffee mess

You may be grinding the coffee to fine making the draining a little slower. There's something called a fast flow filter that may help also. Also, make sure that you aren't jamming the filter down to partially block the drain hole ensuring that it is freely draining out unobstructed

Saeco talea touch - grinds & brews coffee into grounds drawer??

Try this, adjust the grind to a coarser setting atleast 2 numbers, then remove brew unit and look behind at white plastic valve, there is a small chamber under valve make sure chamber is clean and that the small discharge from chamber to drain tray is also clear. Then remove shower screen from brew unit and clean if necessary, also check the tube from the shower. Reinsert and test.

Te water fill lid is not closed or or the flow valve in the tank is plugged. Remove the basket and clear the hole in the bottom of it.. If new, return it to place of purchase.

Beeping only, and the coffeemaker won't brew at all

Check first that both filters (the water filter and the grounds filter) are in place correctly. Also check that the white tab in the grind cover moves freely when the lid is closed. (You can use a fork tine to test.) If that doesn't solve your beeping issue, contact http://www.cuisinart.com/support/us.html or 1-800-726-0190. I did and they are sending me a new unit at no charge.

I forgot to place my coffee filter back in the coffee maker

Just an idea, but you could use a turkey baster to remove some of the water first. I doubt if you've harmed the coffee maker.
