You answered my question! Never seen a coffeemaker that doesn’t emit steam. It’s not possible at those temps, especially with rapid heating. Collecting steam under a cabinet in a tight space seems like terrible design.

Happened to us as well. I found this cool platform with tiny wheels, you can easily slide the coffee maker out from under the cabinet whole it's brewing, then just nudge it back in.

Well-built modern coffee makers don't give off that much steam. There's still some where the coffee drips into the carafe. I don't think there's any way to prevent leakage there, but I bet there's a way to funnel the steam so it doesn't get trapped under the cabinet
