Make sure the filter is properly in position and that the brew basket is fully closed.
If the coffeemaker is equipped with a removable water reservoir ensure that the reservoir is properly installed.
Avoid overfilling the water reservoir. The coffeemaker is equipped with an overflow slot near the top of the water reservoir. If too much water is added it will flow out of this slot and collect near the base of the unit.
If you have checked all of these items and the coffeemaker is still leaking from the bottom, contact Cuisinart Either by email phone https://www.cuisinart.com/support/
