Is there a problem with coffee grains in your cup?

No problems with grounds in the coffee. I use a paper filter and push it down over the stem. No issues.

I use a paper basket filter used for automatic coffee machines and it works great, 100% coffee grain free.

use a coffee filter.i use a natural brown basket style coffee filter.make a small slit in the middle bottom of the filter and place it into the basket.no coffee grounds - and your coffee will taste incredible!!!once your coffee starts to perk, lower the flame and perk for 7 minutes.thank you, i appreciate you. kitty, los angeles, california

Not really. I take the basket out before I pour the coffee. Sometimes, if I don't put the basket lid on well enough, the boiling will make it come off a little, but that's operator error. Make sure the lid is tight on the basket and it will be fine.

yes there are always a lot on the bottom of the pot and if you pour to fast they get in your cup.

There are very few compared to the old percolator we had been using. Filters were also used with both the old and the new.

The only cleaning I do is brush out the dust from the Drawer area. Since I use it every day, I don't worry about the Grinding Mechanism. It grinds very well and leaves very little dust behind.I've never noticed any different flavor in my coffee. To clean the Grinding chamber, I think you would have to dismantle it.

My Keurig brewer had the same issue with beverage weakness and errant grounds when I used the single cup K-adapter to brew my own coffee. I think it's an inherent issue with these brewers due to the lack of forced air pressure (which you get with store bought K-cups) and not unique to this particular coffee maker. I think it has something to do with the coffee grind and the water-to-coffee ratios. I suggest to stick to using K-cups, pods or the permanent wire basket for smaller servings. Only my 2-cents, which isn't even worth that.

To second another answer... There should be a little note from the factory that says they test with actual coffee before the unit leaves the factory, so finding left over grinds is normal on new units.

It's possible that the grind is too fine. You need a fine grind and you need to tamp it well, but I had this problem with some coffee grounds that someone gave me, already pre-ground. If the grind is really fine, you might want to tamp it less. Tweak the grind a little until you find one that works right.

If there are particles of coffee in your coffee, then you are grinding the beans too much. French press coffee calls for a coarser grind.

We use the default option with no complaints. Perhaps it's the coffee you're using? Or try brewing a larger size cup for a more dilute brew.

I haven't used that brand of coffee with the filter. I am using Teeccino Java and I get a very small amount of dust passing through. It stays in the bottom of the coffee pot so it doesn't matter.

What kind of coffee do you use? Does it happen both with beans and powder? Wonder if it's too fine or if maybe the water overflows in the filter and wash the grounds in your pot. I had that once.

I too have sediment problems, but I have sediment problems in a normal coffee maker with one of those reusable filters (plastic/mesh, not paper). So, thanks to the responses here, it's clear that these types of filters always leave sediment unless you add paper. It doesn't taste bad anyway. Just don't drink that last sip. ;)

it has happened to me once...it appeared to be an issue with the amount of coffee I had placed into it

I'm not sure, because I did not try it. I have ground my coffee more than usual, and it seemed okay, but over the long term, it might gather inside the filter. Try it. If it seems to get clogged, then switch to a coarser grind.

Reduce the amount of coffee in the recipe for the drink you are making. Sounds like too much coffee is going into the brewer and overflowing. Even when operating perfectly you will get some grinds in the tray.

Unfortunately, I've only ground coffee in my grinder. The coffee grinds that result are close to the size of sugar particulates, so I would venture to say no. Your best bet is to contact the manufacture for a definitive answer.

We had this problem the first time we used it. We had to take everything off and clean out the area where the coffee grinds are supposed to fall into the brew basket. There was so much compacted in there that we had to really dig and then use a can of compressed air (like you use to clean a keyboard) to get all the particles out. It has worked fine ever since the first time. Good luck.

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.

I put 30ml regular ground coffee in pod. Clean all grounds from sealing area . Good Luck !!
