Primera Eddie – Edible Ink Printer – Printable Coffee Pods are leaking during the brew process.
Once the coffee pods are sealed, they are sealed for freshness and flavor. However, any coffee pod /K-Cup can leak during the brew process if it is not filled according to the specifications of the coffee maker. The following issues can cause leaking during the brewing process.
- Ground too Fine. Finer ground coffee can cause leaking because the water isn’t traveling through the grounds as quickly as it needs to keep water from backing up and leaking.
- High Fill Weight. A higher fill weight also causes leaking because the water
isn’t traveling through the grounds as quickly as it needs to keep water from
backing up and leaking. Usually, items 1 or 2 will not cause a problem by themselves, but when they are combined, leaking can occur. Try filling the pod with less coffee grounds.
- Missing or Worn Washer/Gasket. Every Keurig has a little rubber washer on the nozzle that pierces the K-Cup lid,
which provides a seal between the nozzle and the lid on the K-Cup. Sometimes, the
washer is missing to begin with or falls out. Without it, water rushes out the top of the
K-Cup. The washer may also wear out over time.
- Backup Washer/Gasket. Sometimes, the washer needs another washer behind it to apply more pressure and work with a broader range of K-Cups.
