The leaking out onto the counter is coming from the reservoir. I had the same problem and was about to throw my Senseo out. Here's how to fix it.
When you put the reservoir back onto the Senseo the bottom fits into a hole that is surrounded by a rubber seal. The seal appears to be attached to the bottom side of the plastic shelf that the reservoir sits on. The problem is that the seal has pulled partly away from the plastic surface to which it is attached allowing water to leak onto the counter. Put a little glob of clear silicone sealer (like you use around glass) onto the end of your little finger and work that along the upper edge of the seal where it meets the plastic shelf. You want to be sure you go all the way around and that you squeeze the sealant into the crack between the seal and the plastic. When you're finished, wipe off any excess and make sure that the inside edge of the seal (that fits around the nozzle from the reservoir) is free of any excess silicone. Let it dry for a day and you're ready to go. I did mine and it works great now. No more leaks.

please take a moment to rate this solution... thanks

Add one cup of white vinegar and fill the rest with water. Run this mixture through. Do it one more time if it does not run faster. After doing this run regular water through the system three times and i believe your problem will be solved!

You Can Make the pods with coffee you grind yourself, so it doesnt really matter what model you choose

The product is still in production, so that should not be the problem. Question is whether the handle is a spare part.

Just use vinegar. Fill the reservoir with white vinegar, put a pot or big bowl under the spout, get ready as if you were going to brew and then press BOTH the one cup and two cup buttons together.

Run the vinegar through again when it's done, and then run clean (filtered, preferably) water through twice. You're done.

I don't know if you've tried this, but it works like gangbusters for me. I use non-senseo pods with the 2-pod holder, and they're too big for the 1-pod holder but not quite big enough for the 2-pod one.

I would frequently end up with a lousy, weak cup of coffee, and after a little investigation I deduced that water was flowing into the pod holder and AROUND the pod, without going THROUGH the pod directly. The name-brand senseo pods fit perfectly, and always produce a strong cup, even if I don't like their coffee, and it's because there's such a tight seal between where water flows in and where it flows out.

Simple solution: Put your pod in with the flat part facing up, and the bulgy part facing down. Press it down hard into the 2-cup holder. Run a little HOT tap water, and lightly wet the surface of the pod--not so much water that the pod starts floating in the holder, but enough to get it soggy. Then make your cup of coffee. The water will flow through the pod first, and kind of like siphoning gas through a hose, once it's started going through the pod it won't stop. Instant awesome cup.

Sounds like resevoir was not seated properly or something is in the resevoir. try pushing the pin on the bottom of the resevoir, do it over the sink, and see if water comes out. if tht works then its internal to the machine.

Less than 4 ounces?

well press the cup buttonand thenthe middle buttononce youhave the desired amount.

Makesure the water holder is seated right. also follow the directions toclean it out once.

Call senseo at 866-4-736-736 866-4-Senseo and describe the problem. it is the seaing mechanisim at the top brewwing portion that is loose, either you are not closing it right or the pressure is getting too high forthe seal.

The reason could be the following.
You used your machine on a mains working with 50 cycles/sec. In U.S. frequency is 60 cycles /sec. this could alter the working of the oscillating piston in the pump. The impedance of the coil is somehow about 20% higher on this mains, reducing so current and power of the pump.
To be quite shure of this, try to fill the pump thoroughly with water.
(Disconnect machine from mains, use Low pressure hose , max 0,5 bar, tied to the inlet -where the water tank feeds-, and fill until water comes out of the open hood)
If now the same humming persists an no pumping effect is noticed, i even will be a bit wiser knowing that 60Hz is not good to 50 Hz pumps.

I'm thinking it needs to be "Descaled" Heres info from Senseo.com:

Does my Senseo® appliance need to be descaled? Yes. Descaling is an important element in Senseo maintenance. It should be done at least once every three months, up to six times a year!

Keeping your Senseo free of scale will:

• Ensure you have maximum cup volume
• Ensure you have maximum coffee temperature
• Make your Senseo produce less sound while brewing
• Prevent your Senseo from malfunctioning
• Prolong your Senseo's life.

The descaling process takes about one hour and should not be interrupted. Only a descaling agent based on citric acid can be used safely in the Senseo. Other agents, including vinegar, may damage your appliance or not remove the scale entirely. If the procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue may remain in the machine. This causes scale to build up more quickly and may cause permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.

For the right procedure to descale your type of Senseo, see attached document.

Yes, it is called descaling. Use a descaling solution, or vinegar and water, and follow the procedure for flushing your machine. After that, re flush it with plain water- nothing worse than vinegary coffee!
