My problem has been the same issue

The first the the carafe was a problem and it leaked all over the

Sent the unit back got another unit same problem with the second unit after eight months stop sucking up the water

The post under the lid that causes the problem is hollow and Cuisinart could insert a short rod that lengthens the post, that way it would stay on even when the lid bends under the heat

Problem is we're spoiled by the Bunn K cup machine that makes fast fresh coffee whenever we want it, one cup at a time.

We do not find cleaning the coffee maker any problem as some have mentioned.

It was five years old at that time worked no problem

It was less noisy, but had an annoying problem.

Excellent coffee maker - hot enough, perfect cup of coffee - the noise is not a problem - if you grind coffee, its going to make a noise

Have never had a problem & if needed would like to replace with similar product

Lasted about 10 months before I began having problems removing the grounds basket because the heat warped it.

Every one-star review is describing a major leakage as a common problem, so my understanding is that Cuisinart recalled from the market a large lot of units with the leakage defect, got them refurbished and threw them back in the market to flash sales

I wanted to know how to correct this problem - maybe purchase a new part or lid.

Therein lies the problem.

We tried several things to correct the problem but nothing seemed to help

I would highly recommend this grind-and-brew machine to anyone wanting a better cup o' joe.
