Kitchenaid Thermal Drip Coffee Maker Model #kcm223cu Drips All Over Counter!
K My kitchen aid Thermal drip coffee maker (12 cup) Model #KCM223CU is letting me down for the past 3 mornings. The coffee drips all over my kitchen counter! I have cleaned it again, Still counter mess. The past 3 mornings I have removed the "lid" and held the flat part of knife between the both the basket (ball) and the screw on "lid." When I press the "ball" with flat knife tip it dispenses the coffee. If I have the "lid" on it does not go in the pot but all flows all over the top. I checked the basket holder and there is no blockage. It works. I believe the problem is fluid in the 'Lid" - and there is no way for it to come out. HELP I'm ready to switch brands of coffee makers! THIS IS NOT how I want to brew my morning coffee and have to clean up another mess. :-( Cg
