Is anyone else concerned with the aluminum ring leaching into their daily cup of coffee?

Didn't matter much did not fit my Percolator as it said it would the price did not equal the hassle of sending it back. I did not think about the leaching and I am not going to worry about it if it did just me

I have it for few month and it seems to be a great coffee mmaker. I didnt notice any rust so far.

well I've had the same problem with sediment, after taking the old fashioned coffee filters and cutting out tiny circles for the bottom of the k-cup personal thing...that worked great, but who has time to cut the darned things out?? Not me, I just don't drink the final couple of sips!!! ;)

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)

It doesn't appear so. I looked when I checked the leaks, but it seems to be molded with the plastic around it. Maybe someone else knows something about replacing it that I don't. In all fairness, I've had this coffee maker for several years and it just now is rusting through.

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.

I had the same problem and solved it by adding a paper filter / rubber band as a top to the gold filter. This worked very well keeping all the grounds in the basked and did not impact the function of the coffee maker.

The black stuff is oxide developed from the silver, it is not harmful, you could pour it through a coffee filter if desired.

I have the same problem after one year of use. Coffee unit functions fine. I'll live with the cosmetic problem.

Hi, check that the siphon tube is connected fully and that no coffee ground "gunk" is in the small strainer. Cleaning this part with a toothbrush helps. The other thing is to see that the silver dispenser bar is engaging all the way.

We're on well water, too, with a heavy iron load and lots of minerals. Just run a full pot of water with a couple of tablespoons of white vinegar through it once a month or so and it'll be fine. The coffee maker is fine except that it doesn't keep coffee hot for very long.

I had the experience of the rusting on the rim, near the lid hinge, but not the inside. I empty the water after pouring the water for coffee. The manufacturer said to prevent rust on the rim wipe dry, to remove what it had, they suggested a little baking soda on a damp towel.

I wouldn't say it's a "problem" but some of the grounds cling up the side of the chamber due to static electricity, for sure. It just makes it look like it's full of grounds all the time, but doesn't seem to cause any actual problem after 6 ish months of daily use. The problem with this grinder is that the "extra fine" setting doesn't (and never did) work at all. However, the "fine" setting is good enough for us- it grinds it close to espresso - level fine ground.

Since that has never been a problem for me, I would have to watch how you pour the coffee. Maybe the pot is too close to the cup. It only spills when I am filling the canister and that is because I am holding the pot too close to it and am in a hurry, so just wipe up the water when done. I love this coffee pot and never want a different kind.

We live in an area with a great amount of minerals in the water. I am suspect that it is your water that is creating your problem here, not the coffee maker. The reason I say that is because it has happened to my coffee maker also, and I do not have a Bunn. I was constantly cleaning up the "crud" after a few brews. We were going through coffee makers like a kid in a candy store. Heat seems to make the minerals gather together fast. Just an observation on my part....I am no scientist. I began to use bottled distilled or spring water in my coffee maker and no more mineral deposit problem. Actually, the coffee did taste fresher. I appreciate reading your response, because I know that I am not the only one with this water problem, and I will keep using bottled spring or distilled water for my coffee! Oh.....and I am going to buy a Bunn!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your input.

I use a coffee filter and drain mine into a bucket. I've reused the same solution to clean 10+ AR uppers and at least 20 pistols. Simple Green works fine as a solution and is cheap. I've not had problems with 'pitting' with any aluminum parts.

I have not found that to be an issue. You just have to tip it further over to get the last of the coffee strained through
