I had the same problem, but the paper clip did not work for me. I have water coming out of the top of the k-cup holder and drips everywhere. Any one had this problem, if how did you fix it?
Thanks
John

If I remember correctly, there's a sharp needle on the top and the bottom of where the K-cups go. If the bottom one is bent/broken and not puncturing the bottom of the K-cup, that would explain why your machine is leaking everywhere. Or the hose that supplies water to the top of the K-cup has a hole in it.

That's half of the solution. Go to https://www.ebay.com/itm/173718995084 for a quick easy guaranteed fix for this problem.
The water is running but going back in the water dispenser at times. sometimes a tiny bit comes out as coffee onto the cup but immediately stops, it doesn't fill in a 1/3 of a cup
@Dennis Gaudette link is now DOA. The upper "pod seal" that is a small silicon ring that is mounted on the upper needle is likely compressed or not making proper contact with the pod, thereby the forced water is leaking instead of being pushed THROUGH the pod. The pod seal can be removed and a small washer can be installed above it to get more mileage. It slides off easily but be cautious of the SHARP needle.

The problem is the brewer isn't holding the k-cup lid down tight enough so the water pressure blows water and ground coffee out and down into your coffee mug. The brewer probably has several streams coming down at the same time. There is a simple - cheap - fix for this on ebay: It's a new part for your brewer that costs $3 and it works! It installs in 1 minute without tools. And if it doesn't fix the problem you get your money back plus shipping both ways... but it works! Paste this link:

The link didn't work for me
Link broken!!! Argh!
The link didn’t work for me either
I have an off brand farborware or how ever you spell it maker i bought from walmart that does this. I don’t know what to do i notice the k cup holder is lose in there and wobbles around a bit do i take this back and get a new one? because my friend doesn’t have this issue. i paid thirty bucks for this thing and dont want to buy some random thing on ebay and i would prefer to just have the coffee maker nothing seemed bent on it the needles were seemingly made of plastic and one was longer than the other. I am blind and also the instructions were written in poor english. I am debating getting my money back and investing in kurik i can’t spell i am sorry for that. I am used to audio so haven’t read how words are spelled please bare with me.

Hi.
What was the product you bought Wal-Mart
crwdns2934105:0crwdne2934105:0
My FarberWare single k cup server machine just quit on me. No coffee coming out just hot steam. The needles aren't bent or anything..
A new hp laptop inspirion 2000
I have found that K-cup tops aren't firm and is pushed down by the coffeemaker's water delivery needle, which allows some of the water to flow over the K-cup and outside of the coffeemaker.

Hi John,
It sounds like you're dealing with a common issue with the Keurig Elite where water leaks from the top of the K-cup holder, causing a mess. Here are some steps you can try to fix this problem:
- Even though the paper clip trick didn't work for you, it's essential to ensure that both the entrance and exit needles are clear of any coffee grounds or debris. Sometimes, the needles can be stubbornly clogged. You can use a fine needle or a safety pin to carefully clean the holes in the needles.
- Mineral buildup inside the machine can lead to clogging and cause water to back up. Descaling your Keurig can help remove these deposits. Use a descaling solution or white vinegar:
1. Fill the water reservoir with the descaling solution or a mixture of half vinegar and half water.
2. Run the brew cycle without a K-cup until the reservoir is empty. Discard the water and repeat if necessary.
3. Rinse thoroughly by running a couple of cycles with just water to remove any remaining vinegar taste.
- Remove the K-cup holder and inspect it for any cracks or damages. If the holder is damaged, it may not seal properly, causing water to escape from the top. If you find any damage, you might need to replace the K-cup holder.
- There’s a rubber gasket around the top needle (where the water comes out into the K-cup). If this gasket is damaged, misplaced, or has become hard and inflexible, it could cause leaks. Check to see if the gasket is in good condition and properly seated.
- Make sure the K-cup is properly seated in the holder. Sometimes if the K-cup isn't fully pressed down, it can cause water to leak out. Press the K-cup down firmly to ensure it punctures correctly.
- Sometimes, if the K-cup holder or the brew head is not aligned correctly, it can cause water to leak. Make sure everything is seated properly.
- Occasionally, the problem could be with the K-cup itself, especially if it’s a generic or refillable cup that might not seal properly. Try using a different K-cup to see if the problem persists.
- Unplug the Keurig for a few minutes and then plug it back in. This can sometimes reset the internal settings and fix minor glitches.
- If none of the above solutions work, there might be a more serious internal issue with your Keurig Elite. Reaching out to Keurig customer support can provide you with further troubleshooting steps, and if your machine is still under warranty, they might offer a repair or replacement.
Hopefully, one of these steps helps you resolve the water leakage issue with your Keurig Elite. Let me know if you need further assistance!

I cleaned my Keurig-Elite and now when it is heating the water it leaks out of the k-cup holder. Any suggestions?

Yes... if you are using a reusable (refillable) K-Cup and your brewer is pouring coffee out badly - missing your mug - splashing and making a mess - leaving grounds in your cup - there is an easy fix on ebay for $5 and it's guaranteed or your money back. Paste this link in your browser:

It drips in warm up cycle...ON PURPOSE. Very irritating, especially if you don't have drip tray in place because last user was a travel mug. Poor design.

We had this happen to 2 of our keurigs at the same time, when the house was dryer. As it turns out, the little silicon topper/seal that is mounted AROUND the upper needle (it makes a seal with the top of the coffee pod) had been compressed / pushed up too high. This was particularly notable using NON-keurig coffee pods. Removing it and pushing it back on to where it's just above the needle hole solves it for a while, but a washer/spacer would work better (3-d printing two of them as I type this).

Mine was clogged at the bottom. I thought the seal on top was the issue so I pressed the lid down more when trying to brew and the pressure pushed out the blockage. I dont suggest doing this, as I did not know the true issue, but something to check also when trouble shooting the problem.
