always 40% of the water stays on the bottom part after brewing, could it be that the tubing extension of the funnel isn't long enough?

I agree with the others, make sure you do not have too much water. If you are using the Brikka model, then first you measure the water in the upper chamber by filling to the "H2O" fill line and then pour it into the lower chamber. The lower chamber will then only be partially filled. I have the 4 cup model and it fills to about 1/2" below the valve inside the lower chamber.

I haven't had this problem. Perhaps you are putting too much water in. As you've probably noticed, there's a fill line just below the pressure valve in the bottom reservoir, which I intuitively feel doesn't allow for enough water, but which does allow for a full pot of espresso. If you're putting in the right amount of water, then I would make sure I tighten the pot before I heat it up and use high heat to quickly force the water up through the coffee.

You either have too much coffee in the filter or too fine of grind. Leave about 1/8" below the filter top. As the liquid comes out watch until it almost hits the fill level mark turn the flame off and let it finish for 10 seconds or so. With my 4 cup once the liquid comes out it takes about 15 seconds for it to get to the level to shut off with a espresso grind. 10 seconds to finish then pour. If you use a coarser grind use a little less heat and add a little more coffee. I fill my pot with water just below the pressure relief valve which will be more water than the marked level. Also, take the pressure valve apart and clean it. When you put it back together just lightly finger tight. When you tighten the pot only go 1/8 turn after it starts to tighten. Whai I have learned after more than 500 pots with this, use less coffee and don't tighten the pot or the weight too much.

I have the same problem on one I received a week ago. The tap is over sized a bit. I corected the problem with a wrap of heavy aluminum foil and then several wraps w/ teflon tape. It holds pretty well for now, when I have a chance I will add a nut to the inside to make sure it won't slip out. I want to make beer, not deal with the hassle of return...

this unit is very poorly made. If you notice there is a little "spout" that the holding tank is supposed to push down when the tank is properly in place. My guess is this was to prevent what you are experiencing. I have the same issue and I have discovered that if you take a sponge and soak up the water before each pot is made it won't overflow. Honestly I'm just hanging onto mine until I make my mind up to get a Keurig.

The problem is with the top of the ekobrew filter it opens up while its brewing, what u need to do is get the flat sink rubber washer from lowes the thinnest washer same size at the washer on the machine, take that one off put the one washer u buy on and place the machines washer over that, it will stop it from opening up,,,theres a blog from someone else that gives the item nbr on this washer but i cant find that blog...still looking for it but i'm sure the store will help you find it

Try the straw in different positions. Mine works best straight up and down. It often doesn't work when fully back.

Only solution I've found is don't fill all the way to the top which effectively makes it a 10.5 cup coffee maker. Otherwise just make sure lid is attached correctly

We had this problem with our Bunn Coffeemaker and found a way to avoid the overflow. We wet the paper filter just a bit before adding the coffee grounds. That seems to take care of the overflow. Hope this helps others with the same problem.

The water shouldn't shoot up at all, just cascade over the curved, green circular surface. And the filter should not float. Sounds like it's not assembled correctly.

You have to make sure to hold the pot so the coffee comes out exactly in the middle of the spout. Mine takes forever to brew.

Try cleaning with vinager, trying running it thru the brewing cycle. If that doesn't work, send it back. I didn't have that problem with mines.

In my experience, let the cup in horizontal position before fill in. And also you can press the "throttle" gentle, so the beer is released slowly.

Bunn has a fix for that, an optional spray head that restricts the flow and increases the brew time. Also try using finer grinds, not just more grinds. If you do use more or finer grinds, however, make sure you are using Bunn-brand filters that have the taller sides to avoid overflows. Good luck!

Have you adjusted the brew knob to pot versus kapok setting? There are also settings under the clock that need to be adjusted. If I am using the kapok side, I use the receiving container to measure the correct amount of water. Hope this helps. Take care.

Should keep it full - but can keep it less than full (enough to make what you are brewing). Problem is the "ring" of particulate matter that that forms from tap water, keep it at the top.

I usually only fill it 3/4 full with grounds. Also I think it depends on what type of reusable cup you use with it. If you can't seal it good before the brewing starts, that might contribute to your issue too. Good luck!

When filling the top, make sure the bottom chamber is not full. If you put more water in the top chamber when the bottom is full, you may overfill the bottom chamber. The Berkey Guy

not sealing to allow the water to build up steam to force all the water to flow though the center tube. check the gasket on the upper pot where the filter is. hold the bottom securely while using the upper pot to tighten.
