Does anyone know of a pour-over stand that works well with this brewer? I've read that Bonavita's stands don't support this particular model very well

A stand will just be something else taking up room in your kitchen cabinets. It fits various cup sizes very well. Leave the stand.

IMHO the stand is not necessary -the brewer fits one top of a cup quite well and is stable.Timer and small scale are quite useful though.

I just use it with a small kitchen weight, I really don't think there is a need for a stand.

Personally , I sent mine back after we ordered the second pot, ours was leaking where the stainless and plastic is put together, not the basket overflowing, took awhile to figure that out, me pot fixed it for about 5 days.... Returned for full refund and bought a brewville, have not had any problems with it

Oops! Sorry--haven't taken it out of the packaging yet. Bought it for our annual trek to Palm Springs next month...and my husband keeps saying we should "test" it before taking with us (casino we always stay at does NOT have in-room coffee!). I'm not sure if the bottom "stand" goes up or down. Let me keep your email, we'll try it SOON (I promise), and then I'll get back to you...

I always make sure when it is done brewing - I take the basket off and put the lid on quickly to keep it as hot as possible. Also - try just brewing water through the basket - no coffee grounds and take the temperature in the carafe to see if it the desired temperature Bonavita advertises. If not, call the company. Since switching to the carafe after years of using a glass carafe.....I can never go back to glass. Hope this helps. Happy coffee making !

I bought the 44 when I began home brewing over a year ago. It has worked out perfectly. More capacity and less of a chance of boil-overs. Cheers!

I have had my coffeemaker since April and initially gave it a bad review because of this problem. The answer for me is the positioning of the carafe on the heating plate. If it is not in EXACTLY the right position you will get the overflow of grounds and minimal coffee will flow into the pot. After a while you get a feel for the exact right position, but the machine is very finicky and even now I find myself occasionally missing the spot. Other than that, it is a great coffeemaker.

I've had both flat and cone baskets and have not had them overflow due to the grind. I've used store bought and my own ground coffees. I am suspecting its your coffee maker? In any event, I've had this one for 1/2 year or so and it's been great. I've used various store ground coffees and all have worked. This machine makes and keeps the coffee nice and hot, too.

I recently purchased a pour-over stand so I no longer have to worry about having a good fit between my ceramic dripper & my mug and/or server pot. Just place your dripper over or, in the hole on the upper piece (over or in, depending on the style of dripper you have), then place your receptacle in the center directly underneath & you're good to go. They sell the stands here at amazon but I found a gorgeous mahogany one from Crate & Barrel that's actually cheaper than the acrylic ones sold here. It works great with any combination of devices I want to use...mug, server, etc... It was a good investment. Hope this helps.

Randy,I just looked on Tassimo's web site and couldn't find anything. But one thing I'll say is the Tassimo brewer is much more robust than the Keurig .

The Bonavita bottom is way over-designed to compensate for sliding stopping mechanism. The porcelain is great, but I can't tell difference between my brews between CCD and the Bonavita. Size-wise they are about the same- I brew two portions so I fill it to the very top. The white plastic lid would easily be stained if I were to use it (I used the lid from my CCD.)

The first one that I got did the same thing, would not brew and I had it replaced. It seems the water is not dropping to the bottom of the resorvoir. When trying to brew a single cup, I would get error messages because of this. Lousy production control is what I think. My replacement is working fine tho.

Which Stand did you end up buying? I am looking for decent one that is compatible with this kit. I would greatly appreciate your input.

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...

A follow up on my last posting about the glass carafe imploding. I contacted Bonavita through their website, explained what happened and receive an email informing me a new replacement carafe was being shipped. Thank you Bonavita! it's a great coffee maker backed by a great customer support policy

At one time, I seem to remember when I was researching the coffee tree mug, people were getting different stands. Maybe you could call the seller and ask how tall their current model is? We got ours approximately March 2014.

I bought a "standard" size 4 gold filter from Bed Bath Beyond and it just barely fits into the existing brewer basket (where the paper filter would sit). I tried using the gold filter with the existing brewer basket AND without using the removable brewing basket. Without the basket, the coffee drains faster and doesn't steep as long, so could effect coffee taste.
