has anyone found that these filters clog and don't let all the coffee flow thru?

I love these filters because they are big enough to make your coffee strong, without clogging the coffeemaker. Most filters are made for up to 8 cups. I have a regular 12 cup coffeemaker.

I've had this machine for only 4 days now, and the only problem I see with it is that even with low levels of coffee grounds they come perilously close to overflowing the #4 cone filter. I suspect this is due to two factors: 1) the filter basket bottom is flat so that once the filter is wet it sags to conform which lowers it and allows grounds to overflow, and 2) I suspect water flows faster than other coffeemakers I've had (DCC-1200) and this causes water to stay in the basket longer. I'm using the same amount and grind on my coffee and also the same filters and this was never an issue on the DCC-1200. I'll experiment a bit and hopefully find a solution or this is going back.

I have one and it works Great. Are you locking the coffee filter in tightly? Sometimes if there are few grains of coffee on the sealing edge of the filter it will leak. Ensure that it is clean. Also use the filter with the two discharge ports. The other filter is much harder to use and achieve satisfactory results. Hope this helps.

I don't think you have to use a filter but I do. I don't like those little grinds at the bottom of my cup. I'm not the biggest coffee drinker but I use Folgers.

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

Yes they are. We use them to keep some of the fine particles out of the coffee. It seems to make a smoother stronger cup. 300 filters seem to last forever. Buy them with the coffee maker because they are hard to get by themselves unless you buy a bunch. Good luck! We love our one cup maker.

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.

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!

My coffee maker uses a different style filter. So I guess I can't help. But it works quite well without the filter. It filters the water not the coffee.

Yes. There is a small drip through spout on the bottom of the filter for the coffee to drip through. Hope this helps!

Are you using the optional filter? If so we did not have good luck with it. Put 6 coffee scoops of coffee in the gold basket, make sure the snap on lid is secure and the other lid is closed. The coffee is amazing but definately not watery! In fact the bottom of the pot has a sediment that most of the time that we prefer to not drink.

Mine too I think they are thicker and I have 1000 of them I thought at first that I put too many grounds in the basket..grounds are in the coffee always but the water never over flowed

My is getting clogged at the opening of the lid of the carafe. It just can't handle the amount of water going in. It's very sporadic when it does this but when it does, whooo boy do you have a mess on your hands.

I'm trying to figure out what makes the difference since grounds go all the way to the top and sometimes overflow when my (grown) daughter makes the coffee, but not when I make it though we use the same amount of coffee. I do always shake the grinds down so they're evenly distributed. A few times the problem has been that two filters were stuck together. They come apart easier if you flip them inside out (the whole stack) then back before trying to separate them.

No, we haven't had a problem with these filters and we use a lot of water. We are coming on a year and have not had to replace them yet.

I haven't, but I imagine you could cut a regular coffee filter down, or use a paper towel cut to size. I've done that with regular pots when I've run out filters. It will be worth a try

I only use paper filters........but in past have used permanent filter and seemed to have no effect on taste of coffee. My husband just prefers the paper ones...easier clean up.....
