Do you experience any loose coffee grounds?

This won't happen if you don't fill it up too much. I use 4 tbsp. of coffee to a little under 4 cups of water. Otherwise, it will overflow when you put the filter-press back on. Hope this helps, it is a great French press!

No, the screen filter is a pretty tight fit on this model, so no grounds escape. It helps to stir the coffee and let it set for 3 or 4 minutes before using the plunger. You'll get better flavor and the grounds tend to sink to the bottom.

A very few, and not often. Usually happens when I use fine grind coffee. I have also found coffee grounds in the Mr. Coffee pot I tend 4 days a week for a job.

Not at first; but, I have noticed some grounds in the last year probably because my coffee maker needs a new filter screen. However, a few coffee grounds have not changed my mind about this little beauty--and it still looks as good as new--I love it and the coffee it makes. I consider it one of the better purchases I have made for my kitchen.

You will have some loose grounds because this is a metal (mesh) filter not paper and it only occurs if you use extremely finely ground coffee. We however, use beans and grind them ourselves leaving the result somewhat coarse. It will depend on the grounds you use. Otherwise, it's an awesome French press.

In about a year of daily coffee making with about 9-13 TB per pot, I have only had grounds come though 1 or 2 times. The reason it came through that time was because there was some finer grinds mixed in and i forced it without giving it time for the grounds to settle.

Same here. I would not worry too much about the beans. Never had a problem with the coffee but make sure you alway clean the sprout on the steamer.

We've used the French press for several months and have not ever had a problem of the coffee grounds getting into the coffee. It works much, much better than my previous French press. I would purchased this again, we like it that much.

I use regular ground coffee in mine, like Folgers and etc with no problem. Are you using instant coffee? That would happen if you use instant.

You can use loose ground coffee. The one cup maker has a filter with an extremely fine mesh that keeps the coffee grounds from flowing to your cup.

We didn't like this model of the french press very much. Yes, it made fine coffee but the plastic handle and top knob were loose, jiggly and felt cheep. We don't have it anymore (our cleaning lady dropped it in the sink and the glass shattered). I can't speak of the coffee grounds in the bottom. That issue never concerned me. good Luck...

I use a Bunn 10 cup and had grounds with the paper filters. I've made full pots for about a week with the reusable filter and haven't had the overflow problem or grounds in my coffee.

The fit is just right; it has to be tight to keep the grounds out of your coffee. I've been using mine daily for years with no signs of wear or damage.

This happened to me several times also.... was very disappointing because I love the coffee! Since then, I close the top of my Keurig carefully and that has seemed to help.

Yes. I did experience the same issue with mine. Tried to return the machine but amazon did not allowed me to do so. I dont use the machine any more as the coffee always smells burned.

I haven't added coffee grounds but I have added strong tea, coffee, and or red wine. It probably helps a little.

I don't have a tried and true answer for you because I have not had a problem. But here are a couple of suggestions to try. Make sure you let it cool down before trying to dump it. Make sure to take it all apart (including the rubber gasket) and cleaning really good at least once a week or maybe more. Make sure you don't put more coffee in than you are supposed too. Make sure it's the right grind of coffee and not espresso grind. Hope you get the problem figured out.

No, the coffee grounds stay in the filter basket. As for paper filters, I've always used Bunn filters and never had a problem with the grounds overflowing in them either.

I do not get grinds, but I do get dust from the coffe if it's ground to fine. I suggest using medium to coarse ground coffee if you can, otherwise, you can make a filter from a regular coffee filter and insert it before the basket is put in. I have not experienced any problems with the coffee maker form any detritus I have experienced.

I think the key to your question is: "too much". This press is a good coffee maker for the price and has not presented any problems, so far (I've had the press for a year and a half.) Answering your question: there is a residue of grounds left but not excessive. Good luck.

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.

I have not had this problem. When it is turned on and getting warmed up it will some times drizzle out from where the coffee comes. But my machine hasn't leaked.
