I got one of these last week and have been making between 6 cups (900ml) and 8 cups (1200ml) on gold setting using filtropa cone filters in the cone holder with no issues.
i'm using the sage smart grinder pro and just grind based on its cups setting at one of the filter/coarse settings.
maybe the grind size is causing the water to not pass through quickly enough and pooling on the top for too long so it has time to overspill?

I'm having a pretty niche intermittent problem with my Sage Precision Brewer and I wonder if anyone has the same experience or any ideas.
I use a Wilfa Svart to grind 58.5g of coffee and fill the tank with 900ml of water. I use filtropa paper filters in the cone "pour over" style basket.
I use the "gold" preset setting on the Precision Brewer.
Sometimes, the water level during brewing in the basket rises up over the filter and therefore I end up with coffee grinds in the thermos and thus in my mug.
I'm doing everything the same every day, same grinder, same brewer, same method on the brewer. It doesn't seem to happen more with one type of bean or brand or roast level, and I mostly buy 1kg bags so there's plenty of repetition of the exact same parameters.
I'm assuming the crux of the problem is that sometimes the water filters through more slowly, but the machine can't see that so it keeps adding water and the water level rises above the top of the paper filter.
I guess I could use a custom brew process rather than the preset and force it to brew a little slower and thus reduce the chance of overflowing, but I just can't understand the intermittent nature of the problem.
