I received this for my birthday and I was so excited to try it! The first time it leaked over night all over the refrigerator and into the freezer and soaked the kitchen floor. I took it all apart, reattached everything making sure it was tight. Although I am able to use it, it still leaks at a rate of about ½ cup a day. That doesn’t soak the floor, but it’s a mess in the refrigerator and a waste of good coffee. I can’t understand why after so many reviews that it leaks, there isn’t a way to make a better seal.
