How come thise machine throws so much sugar onto the sides? Am I doing something wrong?

FYI this machine has only on and off for heat, a lot of machines have adjustable heat. Two things happen with machines like this running full heat; one, you waste a lot more sugar on the sides and two, the cotton candy that comes out is much coarser and thicker (which is not desirable). I bought the updated version of this machine with adjustable heat and a different color spinner and there's a clear difference between full dial and partial.

This seems normal to me, I would not worry about it. I have talked to adults who remember what a treat it was as a kid to get the sugar off the side of the bowl, so that tells me this has been happening for many years. I find that if I do not have sugar on the inside of the bowl people will not order cotton candy because they don't want to be the first to get the machine dirty. If people can see your machine, make sure it has sugar in the bowl before you open for business.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong, each time I have used mine the same thing happens. The sugar spins out of the center so fast that it must just be the excess sugar that accumulates on the side. I tap it down every so often while the machine is still warm for easier clean up and that the sugar pieces don't end up in the floss.

I don't think you doing anything wrong however I would advise against reuse of the sugar ring. Whenever I clean the inside bowl I get like a grayish residue and I would hate to think I am giving some of this lead like residue to kids.

I bought one of these machines and that was one of my concerns as well. In fact I returned the first machine becuase I thought something was wrong. The second machine seems to throw a lot of sugar on the side as well. I think it must just be a part of the design. You can break off the sugar from the side and give it out as a kind of Rock Candy. It does taste a little different then just sugar since it has been melted and reformed. Dont know that you are doing anything wrong, I just think its the machine.

It is just excess sugar. I've found that some types sugar/floss does this more than others. You can snap the sugar ring into small pieces and put it back in the machine and it will make more cotton candy... It doesn't need to go to waste.

Any machine is going to throw a good amount of sugar to the sides. If you think it's excessive, try decreasing the amour of sugar you use at one time and make sure you gave the machine time to heat up before using.

You might have the tray on the wrong way. Try and turn it around. I had the same problem.

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.

May be there's something wrong with your machine? are you using the right kind of sugar? I noticed that if I put more sugar than I'm supposed to it doesn't make as much cotton candy and it comes out crunchy. Good luck!

I fear that your espresso machine has probably run its course. You might try running a descaler through it (very cheap at Morrissons) in case it's just scaled up. Failing that, you'll have to replace it.

Not sure if this is the problem of the coffee machine or the variety of the coffee that u are using. Try to use different variety of coffee. I think. Good luck

I've had similar issues with a completely different bread maker and I think it's just something you have to accept about bread machines. My mom suggested pouring at least some of the oil over the paddle posts *before* putting the paddles on to make them come out more easily. However, this means they'll still be in the bread.

Try a simple sugar solution four to one ratio. Bring to a boil and then let it sit for 15 minutes and cool normally. See if that helps

You Meyer have packed the coffee too tightly. When you pack th coffee just tamp it slightly after a few times you will get the hang of it

Hi back, sorry about the problems you are having - it sounds bad. I have not had that happen with my machine, so I expect there is a problem with yours. The over heating is worrisome, and that kind of thing has lead to fires in other appliances, so I strongly recommend you return it for a replacement! Best of luck to you. Just read other comments and it sounds like others have had that problem. I only make 1 loaf a week, so have not had to let mine cool down before making another loaf.

The only thing I can think of is that you my be using too much coffee or the holes in the bottom of the filter might be some how obstructed or not properly made at the factory. There is a good instructional video on you tube that I recommend watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DwPGkq8SFE There might me something helpful to you in the video. This is how I learned to do it.

After owning this machine for 7 months (had our first for about three years) I'm having the same problem as of this morning. I'm going to try all the tactics that billf recommends. Anyone else rectify the problem?

I have never had that issue. Faulty machine unless there is too much ice cream in there and somehow the vibrations are causing it to move??

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.
