the mess is terrible. I don't know if it is because of the spring or what but the mess is damaged and the grounds come up through the filter sides.

I haven't had the grounds come up into the coffee. It is a mess to clean up but that's part of the French press thing I'm guessing!!!! You don't grind the coffee very fine so check that out too....good luck!!!!

The mesh on my 32 oz. Capri Double Wall french press works perfectly - yours must be bent or defective...

Mesh? If the mesh/screen is damaged I would ask the manufacturer if you can get a replacement part. My press works beautifully! I have not had this issue.

Besides being poorly designed, it may be clogged with grounds. Mine would dispense slowly and that was the cause.

It sounds like you have grass clogging it up. If it's all clean underneath, then i have no idea.

Same thing happened to me with the filter collapsing--I plan to check status of filter every so often and apply glue if needed. I believe the glue dries out prematurely.

Make sure you're cleaning out the little float valve on the lid. It can clog up with coffee grinds from time to time if you've put a little too much in the filter area.

I had another thought about this. I had nearly forgotten but when I first got mine, the two green cups were stuck together and I didn't realize it. It came out in drops and made a terrible mess with the grounds. I probably should have noticed that they were stuck together but well . . .

I think it is a problem with the grind. I have been using this coffee for a while now and the last 2 cases I have ordered have been very un-even in the grind...some of it is too coarse and there has been a lot of "dust" that is just way too fine to pass through the filter properly (tamped or not)

I had a similar sounding issue recently and was able to get it back to normal by blowing into the top and bottom of the base and under the reservoir where it connects. I had to do it a few times but after I got some old grounds and such out of there, it started working fine again. Hope it helps.

It has to be mold.I use filtered water and I have not any mold. Try that and it should not happen again.

the force of the water going thru pushes the paper filter down some, so the grounds still have to be removed.

I used a standard "drip coffee" fine grind. I found the filters to eliminate the silt and give you full flavor of the coffee. The filters can be a bit messy. The cover doesn't fit tight with the filter in place and grounds overflow if not seated properly. I would suggest sticking with the basket or buy K cups.

Most likely the filter is dirty and not absorbing the water as readily. Either than, or the air is not as dry as it was last year-hardly likely.

It's a constant pain -- each time you grind, then pull out the glass container, grounds fall out of the burr area onto the counter and onto the base where the glass container rests, so that when using the machine it's constantly messy around the base. I can only think of a bunch of ways the thing could have a better design -- like a manual or automatic flap or slide to close off the area to grounds can't fall out when you remove the catcher and so on. Might have added a few cents to the original cost to manufacture, OMG!

The leftover grounds problem is more than just grounds in the cleanable areas around the burrs. When my machine started to die, I took it completely apart - unscrewed the housing, etc. & the inside all around the motor/everywhere was coated with grounds. I was diligent about doing the maintenance cleaning of my machine - every 1-2 weeks. I didn't realize how choked the INSIDE/GUTS of the machine was, which probably shortened the life. The grounds INSIDE the machine were very fine & dusty/clinging to everything. I got 3 years out of mine. If I was buying this new today, I would dismantle my entire machine every 3-6 months & really clean it out.

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

It's so finely ground it may have a lot of sediment using a regular coffee maker

Sorry can't help with this one. I only used it once and it left coffee grounds all over the place so I just trashed them.
