| Brewer won't start/clogs | Overfilled; grind too fine; old grounds clogging filter | Use less coffee; use medium-coarse grind; clean filter thoroughly. |
| Coffee grounds in cup | Damaged or misaligned mesh filter | Inspect filter for tears. Ensure it is seated properly in the cup before adding coffee. |
| Lid is difficult to remove | Pressure lock from heat | Allow K Cup to cool slightly after brewing before attempting to open. |
| Leaking during brew | Lid not sealed properly; silicone seal damaged | Ensure lid is snapped on securely. Inspect the silicone ring on the lid for damage or debris. |
