It is totally normal that some of the water or coffee flows/drops into the capsule container. Mostly it happens when you do not insert a capsule into the machine, and the rewing unit is not sealed with the capsule.
The capsule container can hold 5 or 6 used capsule. Coffee/water is also collected in the drip tray in the same time (about half in this time). It is advisable to empty it regularly because the collected liquid flows easily.
If the capsule is deformed or improperly inserted, the brewing unit will not close tightly and water will flow straight through to the coffee outlet or to the drip tray.
If the problem persists and there is a huge amount of water in the drip tray, please contact Nespresso
