I would recommend not overfilling them, because if you do the machine doesn't care it will drop all of the cold brew.
Also make sure that your cubes are pushed all the way to the back of the brewer.
There are also other factors such as the bag ripping or pulling the cubes out too quickly causing the cold brew to spill.
Edit: As a tip to make sure your dont over water I would reccomend using a chalk marker to keep track of how many times you've watered it.
e.g. XXXX = 3.5L poured 4 times (3.5 x 4 = 14)

I'm paranoid of these things so I'm always making sure to do all of these, minus the chalk one.
Thanks for the tips though! Definitely pass that along!

To avoid this in the future, stop using the brewer. This is the 5th time!

Maybe teach people how to use them properly..?

Lol just make it right and this won’t happen.

We put 13 liters of water instead of 14. 14 seemed to overflow often but so far since we dropped it to 13 liters of water we haven't had an issue and it hasn't affected the taste

This happened for me last year bc someone left the full cubes in the bottom and dropped more cold brew on top of them

my condolences 😱
the back is so small in my store im sure we'd be smelling cold brew under the shelves for months if that happened here
Responsible_Snow710919 points1y ago
😮 Were one of the little buckets underneath not pushed in all the way? I heard thats one of the ways this can happen

Someone brewed it with a lid on right?
jtaposition [OP]9 points1y ago
No, they added too much water
Aliciarox111896 points1y ago
And they didn't notice when filling it?
