Sounds like there filter issue- you can't use the cone shaped Melittas, either size 2 or 4? Now use 2 or 4 with Melitta dripper- cant u just fold them

yes you can fold them , but it makes it so small an add shaped it takes forever to use them . a pain to use you have to go very slow

I get the Melitta #1 cone filters on Subscribe & Save. The permanent filter lets a bit of fine residue through. I have used a #2, but it's a little too big. Put the $1 cone inside the permanent filter and it works great.

I searched the internet for "CBTL Reusable Capsules" and found nothing but an article titled "How to refill and recycle our CBTL Gaggia Caffitaly capsules for other brew brands". It had instructions and pictures that seemed helpful from the comments of people who tried it. Basically, you're deconstructing the pre-loaded filter after it's been used and replacing the coffee and foil top. Make sure you don't pack too much coffee in or the water can't go thru. Maybe dump the grounds out of a pod to get an idea of how much to refill with.

You can use any #2 or #4 cone filters, that you can get at the local grocery store. I bought #4 brew-rite from my local WalMart. The reason I bought #4 size is because it fits above the cone and allows you to put more coffee and water without worrying if it is going to run over. I did find that you also need to use boiling hot water if you want your coffee to come out with the right flavor/concistancy.

First thought: use a smaller cup. Second thought:use a more robust coffee (either K-Cup or single-serve screen and adapter). Third thought: call Keurig; see if they can help. Last resort: return for exchange. Good Luck.

Yes! We need to find some pods that fit. The dolce gusto pods are terrible and I'm sad :( Any luck?

In my opinion it does not work well with Melitta pods - which I love. They are a little smaller and the water tends tp bypass some of the coffee. As a result you get a weaker cup of coffee than with the Melitta One to One coffee maker. I would recommend larger pods such as those from Wolfgang Puck or Baronet if you like strong coffee.

Get the Simple Cup filters. They fit good and I use them all the time. I buy the box of 300. Got to get another box. They are thinner than the Melitta Java Jig filters. Cheaper though and work great in the MyCafe cups. I use them all the time. I will get 2 boxes this time.

I used a plastic coffee filter holder that held a Melitta coffee filter. The filter holder has a flat bottom that stabilizes it over the carafe. I would watch everything carefully as the carafe is not as level as I would want.

we had the same problem, and actually found it was an issue with the cups we were using. we took apart one cup where the brewer didn't give us a full cup of coffee, and compared it to one that did. the short-cupped one was missing a filter paper thingy in it, so we don't buy those cups anymore. the only other thing we do that others might not is run it without a cup at 4-5 times a week - my 11yo son uses it to get hot water for oatmeal in the morning :)

I am in the same boat as you Colleen. I got the Melita filters that LuLu recommended, but haven't had the chance to use them yet. I am thinking of using the Melita filters with my reusable K-Cup and see if that will be easier to clean up. Did you know that the bottom portion of the loose coffee drawer from the Bunn MCU does snap out for easier clean up, and just snaps back in place when clean?

I'm convinced that there are a bad batch of these out there (and may be why Amazon has the product suspended right now). I own other Chef's planet pourers and there is no need to do this as the ground glass fitting should hold fine. I just got 2 of the 8oz models and one is perfect but the other one the pourer does not fit correctly. There must be a defect in manufacturing or they are shipping the tip from the wrong size unit.

Mine came with some #4 Melitta unbleached paper cone filters along with a coupon to buy more. I have not opened it (I already had filters so it wasn't an issue), but it looks like there are about 5 of them. Coffee maker makes great coffee.

I had number 4's on hand and use those. They are larger than the Melitta (taller) but work just fine. Logic dictataes that #2's would be smaller, so they should work. Good luck!

The filter you use makes a huge difference, I wouldn't use a metal filter with a cone. Use a burr grinder on the finest setting, almost powder. (Personally I always use Melitta filters, they are worth the extra cost. Others seem to flow too fast or too slow.)

It sounds like you have a 1-2 cup filter. This WILL fit in the brewer, but it will be very short. It may be easy to over pour the water. I have a smaller PLASTIC cone for 1-2 cup cones that works just like the HIC one, but is smaller. If you pour carefully and don't put too much coffee in, your filter should do fine.
