I have run it with a metal blind as well as the silicon disc. With the silicon disc, water comes out pressurised and without the large jug under the misting spray of water ends up everywhere. Check that the hole in your silicone disc goes all the way through...
Not wanting to be argumentative, but just wishing to sort this out in my own pea brain. My silicon disc has absolutely no indication of there being any form of perforation, closed or open, on either side, and quite frankly, my twisted logic finds this to be the expected, logical situation. Before opening the subject I simply assumed that the idea of the silicon disc was to completely blank off the basket and act like a blind basket. Perhaps Phil could explain what Breville's intent is, re the silicon disc. I really don't wish to be contradictory, but what I'm reading contradicts my observation and my logic.
