can you fill the carafe to the brim without overflowing the bunn 10 cup coffee maker. We would like an extra cup of water in the pot

Yes but it's hard to pour it all into the machine. I know that if you don't use it for a couple of days you can pour a whole pot in and not get a full pot out due to evaporation.

When I do fill up to the 10 cup line it fills the reservoir completely with no room to spare. I would imagine it's not possible to add an extra cup of water.

The reservoir holds roughly two carafes of water so this should not be a problem.

I never make full pots with my Bunn, so I've never had to deal with the overflowing since I've bought this reusable filter. I make 3/4 full pots. If I have guests I just make 2 3/4 full pots, since it brews so fast.

I just poured 8 cups into the pot, and it was filled to just above the shoulder. I wouldn't boil it with that much water in it, though; it would be in danger of boiling out.

you put in how many beans you want grinded, you put in how much water you want ------ the insulated metal container only holds 1/2 as much water/coffee as a glass container. Hence it is easy to put too much water in the machine and hence it overflows,,, it brews however much water you put in it. You have no clue how much coffee is in the container as it brews. so you only know it is full when it spill on your computer.

There are separate water reservoirs for the single serve and carafe sides. It is basically 2 machines attached that use the same control panel. You flip a switch between the two sides. I'm not sure how many cups of water the single serve side will take. We usually fill it from the cup we want it to brew into so we always have just what we need.

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!

I use it regularly and the maximum you can realistically fill the carafe is 24 oz. If you put any more it would overflow.

The reservoir has to match the amount of cups u want to brew but the bean bin can be full all the time. Be careful this pot tends to leak out the sides if u don't slide it in just right

I don't know , in my 10 cup Bunn , I quite a bit of grounds in pot, too much too keep straining every time you pour a cup.

Technically yes, but ours overflows coffee grinds every single brew with the 4-cup filter. We're not overfilling it with grinds.

No. Just fill to how many cups you want. Had it for awile now and love it for the value.

Technically, yes, though my experience has been that there are usually some little bits of coffee grounds swirling around in the water when you do. My best advice would be to run it on the smallest cup setting as a rinse cycle, toss that water, and then refill using whatever size you want.

Yes, my husband makes just a few cups at a time. You put in enough coffee and water for two cups and allow the press to work. The pot does not need to be filled to capacity to make coffee. Just a trick to keep your ratios right.

Not sure what you mean???? Are you asking to put the coffee in a carafe???? I'd just lift up the unit (the bucket like thing) and pour it in.

Just depends on how much water you pour in above the mug. Could use a regular mug or the travel sizes...it's up to you. The amount of coffee added can be adjusted as well

Yes. There is an adjustment that will slow down the dripping through the ground coffee so you can use a smaller amount of water and coffee to brew the amount you want. I use this every day to make just one large mug of coffee. It might take you a few times to get just the right amount of water and coffee to suit your taste, but it does make a great cup of coffee.

Unfortunately, I don't, and I broke the carafe that came with the pot, & looked for a replacement & it was difficult to find & I think when I did locate one, the carafe was more expensive than buying an entire new coffee maker, so... that's what I did.. I don't know why they make a different carafe for each model, and the height, etc. needs to be perfect or the coffee won't go into the pot, etc. :( It's frustrating!
