• My buddy's MIL puts a piece of aluminum foil over the My-K-Cup and that seems to do the trick for her (never tried it myself).
• My buddy pulls the little gasket down if it works its way back up.
• A youtube search shows some people putting a 1/2 flat faucet washer in the top of the My-K-Cup.
• Someone created "shims" that go above the gasket to keep it held down (I would think a flat faucet washer above it would do the same thing).

Me...I have the same problem and have just pulled down the gasket the couple times I've used it. I think i'll buy a flat faucet washer and shim the gasket and see if that does the trick.

+1. Also, I use a course grind and get a nice cup of coffee. That seems to help with overflow as well.
