Does the filter attach at all to the funnel? or just sit in the base of it? I am pouring milk into it and the filter is sliding all over the place

After reading the other responses, I thought that I should add something: I got this set for two reasons. #1 I wanted stainless steel. #2 I wanted something that did not require constant purchase of single use paper filters. I was able to get both of my needs met by adding another larger, hanging strainer basket to the top of the funnel!

To proplerly filter the milk, use a non gauze milk filter over the metal filter.

It just sits in the base. We use a paper filter which holds it down when pouring the milk into it relatively slowly.

There is a cover that slides over the filter and holds it in place. It is part of the vacuum (does not come with the filter). Is your cover missing?

Aside from removing the plastic wrapping on the straw, here are some other things to check:1. Is the bottom piece of the straw/filter correctly attached. There is a small angle-cut groove that the make both parts a tight fit.2. Make sure the filter is locked into the cap. This can be tricky and is the main source of problem for me. The filter and cap are threaded, and a correct fit would leave the filter vertically straight. If the filter is not properly attached, you will literally be ingesting more air than water.

I that happened to me.. basically you over filled it and the pressure pushed the top tank up.... fill up to the top of filter, or just below. It's good to go

There is only one hole that allows liquid through it on mine, when poured through the top of the funnel. There are some other holds in the circular plastic piece at the bottom, but they have no purpose that I have seen.

The filter holder should lift out of the water tank. You can replace the filter and slide it back in to place.

There is no filter to this just a funnel. I use for honey and it works well as it leaves my larger buckets and jars room to drip in different areas and not just the main stream.

I have mine in a tray for this reason. Best way to align everything that I've found is to use a straw in the pump/filter so that the other part ends up with the hold in the right place.

Mike: silly question, but did you give the filter an extra push, plus push in the top rubber gasket some more to expose the thread? If this fails then the filter is too long. In that case I would be making an extended threaded mounting post. Or a special nut with a reduced diameter that will go inside the filter and catch the thread. My 10 gallon Craftsman has a 7/16 NC thread. I have the capability at home to manufacture these fixes, but if you do not I am at a loss for other solutions. Hoe about a recessed cup with a flange, then cut a bigger hole in the filter rubber and use a 7/16 nut inside the cup.

When pouring yes. However, if it is still filter water in the top reservoir then it's loose and might come off.

it does fit in the spout! Just align the vertical line in the middle to the base of the spout, so that the filter frame looks like a "T" facing you, and there are little parts that fit on both sides of the filter. If they don't, flip the filter (still frame like a "T") and everything should click into place :)

The base screws onto the threads of the faucet. If replacing the filter, it just pops in.

My top, the end with the little funnel, comes off as an assembly with a quarter turn to the left (lefty loosey - righthy tighty). As Lionel says, the assembly is glued, although my funnel slips off (not glued). There is a rubber seal that may be the reason yours is sticking so tightly because I've had a similar problem with whole house water filter that wouldn't unscrew due to a tight rubber seal.

You have to unscrew something and add the filter in.not difficult at all.i did it on my own. Works beautifully.

I started having that issue when I first got this. I realized my problem was overfilling. The liquid level needs to be around the level stated in the instructions. Once you get an idea of where that is using the funnel, you can eyeball it from that point and you should not have anymore problems.

can't remember what model our mother's is, but there was an open vent area on top that you had to take out screws to access and then the filter just sits in there kind of at a slant. It doesn't look like it goes there, but it does.

I did not buy the funnel thing. I just pour baby food jars right into the open top. I use a spoon to get the last few spoonfuls out of the jar and into the pouch. Works just fine.
