Why do I end up with grounds in my coffee every time? I've tried disposable filters, the reusable filter, and both.

I have never had grounds in my coffee! I use a disposable filter in the filter that came with the pot. Be sure the disposable filter is carefully placed. Use your fingers to smooth it out inside the disposable filter. Good luck!

What kind of coffee do you use? Does it happen both with beans and powder? Wonder if it's too fine or if maybe the water overflows in the filter and wash the grounds in your pot. I had that once.

I've never had any issues. I use coffee beans and grind them into the reusable filter and I fill the beans to the top as well as coffee pot. It sounds like the water is flowing too quickly into the filter and causing the grinds to "splash around'. Maybe trying the "1-4" feature and see if that avoids the problem

The only time I've ever had that problem, I had overfilled the coffee beans in the grinder. Maybe that's it.

You might try using less coffee beans in the grinder. Also, try using the "1-4" feature, so that the water flows a little bit slower.

I have bought more cases of various flavors of the SFB coffee than I care to admit, as well as a few boxes of other brands. I've only gotten grounds in the cup a few times. Twice was after I dropped the cups on the counter with a bad bounce. When I took the cups out of the keurig, the seal was broken. Understandable, it took abuse. Another time was when the machine was due for a cleaning. I think the water pressure was just out of kilter by that time and caused the issue. Seriously, we go through boxes a month of these things, with nothing more than a little sediment in the last sip, which we get from any brand we've tried.

Could be the coffee is ground too fine. If you are grinding it or having someone grind it, specify it is for a "flat bottom" filter. My guess is the water is flowing over the top because of the fine grind, it can't filter through fast enough.

I haven't had to use filters. I find that little or any coffee grounds escape the basket.

Hi, assuming the holes on the filters are not obstructed or defective, using coarse ground coffee might work. If the coffee is too finely ground like a powder (like Turkish coffee), it can clog up the holes. Perhaps setting your grinder (or asking your coffee store) to grind your coffee at drip or french press setting will work.

We use one in our office here and have run into this problem only two or three times when we first got it. We figured out a few things that can lead to this issue:-users mistakenly leaving the drip-stop in the half-shut position when brewing-loose grounds building up in the drip stop mechanism after successive brews (especially overflows) and blocking water flow-coffee that is too finely ground-gold filter not being seated fully/properly in the basket

Add more coffee?? Did you use more than one filter? Sometimes they stick together.

just got mine out of the box and i'm having the same problem. the filter holder is hot, the steamer seems to be working, but water isn't going through. i thought i tamped the grounds too much, so i have now tried with a loose tamp and with no coffee grounds at all. All I get is a horrible noise. I'm very frustrated!

Perhaps make sure only 1 filter is being used. Also another brand of coffee? I use Folger's brand of various blends with good results.

I use only ground coffee in the filter...........hopefully someone has pod experience and can help you

Possibly using too fine a grind for the permanent filter. I use paper filters since cleaning the permanent filter is too messy and not worth the trouble.

Of course not! That is the whole point of getting the permanent filter. LOL You just dump the used coffee grounds out of this filter and then rinse the filter and put back in the coffeemaker for next use. It works great! Love it.

Do not believe you could insert the pod into one of the reusable filters. The grounds annoy me as well but not a deal breaker. Would like the see Rodgers coffee add paper filter inside the mesh or a finer mesh to provide a ground free cup.

FYI, I hate wet, messy grounds. I have the basket that came with the pot but I still just push a paper coffee filter down in and press the excess paper against the sides and fold the excess at the top over the edge, place my grounds in there, close the lid and start brewing. When it is all done I just have to pull out the soggy filter and toss it. I can do this either with the permanent filter in place or not. If you can't find a permanent filter replacement, you might try that.

As long as you use one of the many reusable generic Kcup grounds filters that can be bought just about anywhere, or use Folgers Kcups, but you would save a bunch of money using thru reusable type Kcup filters and just fill yourself

I am using regular coffee (already grounded) or if I feel fancy, I get coffee beans grounded for expresso settings - I cant see the K cups fitting in this filter.

I've had that happen also. Sometimes the grind of the coffee isn't fine enough. Sometimes I don't have the filter holder screwed in tight enough. I also make sure the printed side of the filter is facing up as per the directions. Sometimes the evil morning coffee gnome is at work!!! Good luck!
