Do the grinds over flow the top when brewing a full pot like it does with paper filters?

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.

It depends on how much coffee you put in. i weigh mine--more that 2 oz and it goes over. it is not as high a paper filters. There are paper filters that are higher than the normal ones. I use them and fold down a bit.

Have only used it a couple times and it works well, the only flaw you beat the basket into the trash and still not all grounds come out so of course you then wash it out, I figure it's nice to have on hand if we run out of paper filters, beats a paper towel or a last minute run to the supermarket! Hope this helps!

No, the coffee grounds stay in the filter basket. As for paper filters, I've always used Bunn filters and never had a problem with the grounds overflowing in them either.

If you use the correct amount of grounds it won't overflow. I have the Bunn 10 cup and after 2 weeks, the screen delaminated from the plastic frame and thecoffe grounds found their way to the pot. But no grounds over the top. I used the GoldTone for 2-3 months and now use the paper filters. I have no problemswith the paper filters either. I use the same amount of grounds in both filters. I also got the sprayer nozzle for the Bunn 10 cup and still no grounds over the top.

I use a Bunn 10 cup and had grounds with the paper filters. I've made full pots for about a week with the reusable filter and haven't had the overflow problem or grounds in my coffee.

I use the paper commercical filters from sam's club, 1000 to the box,less than$10.00 and I have no grounds in my coffee. The only thing I've found that works with these pots, probably get the same thing at walmarts. I have all these screens and not a nare one works folks.

Yes it does. It also has a filter that holds the paper filter in place so that it doesn't collapse into the grounds.

This coffee maker has a basket filter, no need to buy filters for it. I will however add that when the pot is 3/4 full to full, it pours terribly. I have yet to find a way to pour it when full that it doesn't spill, regardless of the speed or proximity top cup. If I had it to do over, I would not purchase this item.

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

Yes, I would push the filter down but the coffee grounds would be packed at the lid when finished brewing. But since I got then I don't have grounds in my coffee. I'm just bummed, keurig brewer stopped heating the water after I got my second order of these.

YesDo not overfillUse paper filters (conical)No more than 3/4th of a cup of DRIP grind coffee per 12 cup potNo experience w expresso or other very fine grinds

I use basket-style filters when I make a full pot. Otherwise you use the insert provided with machine to make individual cups, which does not need a filter.

I'm sorry; I think this question was misdirected to me. I don't own a Hamilton Beach dual coffeemaker and so cannot answer your question about the one-cup paper filter.

I always brew a full pot and dump what I don't drink (about half a pot) you use the same amount of coffee for a half a pot as full a pot, so why not. The grab a cup during the brew works just be quick or it will overflow the filter basket. Otherwise it is one of the best coffee pots I have owned.

I've had this machine for only 4 days now, and the only problem I see with it is that even with low levels of coffee grounds they come perilously close to overflowing the #4 cone filter. I suspect this is due to two factors: 1) the filter basket bottom is flat so that once the filter is wet it sags to conform which lowers it and allows grounds to overflow, and 2) I suspect water flows faster than other coffeemakers I've had (DCC-1200) and this causes water to stay in the basket longer. I'm using the same amount and grind on my coffee and also the same filters and this was never an issue on the DCC-1200. I'll experiment a bit and hopefully find a solution or this is going back.

Yes, the Bunn BCF100-B filters are taller and less likely to run over causing the grounds in the filter holder.

Not really. I just experimented with my strainer. I scooped a few tablespoons of my ground coffee into the strainer over the sink. The finer particles peppered the sink with just the force of dumping them into the strainer. Had I run any water through, I believe more would have escaped the strainer. So no, it cannot filter coffee grounds. My only hesitation is if your grounds are very coarse; mine were a medium grind.

I use paper filters with the basket because if you didn't the coffee grounds would pour through with the coffee. I prefer not to drink the grounds! :)

I know this is an old thread, but for those of you who are having this problem, drill a tiny hole in the bottom of the filter basket (not the inner layer, the outer layer is what you want.) The hole should be only slightly larger than the holes that are already there, and should not go through the inner layer. Problem solved. The larger grounds won't go through the inner holes at all, and the finer ones (usually there are a few) will flow out the hole in the bottom. Also use a good grinder. I use a Jura Capresso.

I am no coffee expert, making coffee seldom. I followed the directions for pouring a little water on top of the ground and letting them swell first before s.l.o.w.l.y pouring in the rest of the water. This resulted in coffee sticking to the sides of the screen, which seems to filter pretty well. With what I think is medium grind, a little sediment gets in, but it's not much. I think more comes through if you pour the water faster.

Yes, the grinds will go in the basket-instead of the top grinder. I do love the coffeemaker, but suggest paper filters over the gold permanent one as if not the coffee will be weak. With the paper I use the same amount we did in all other machines we have owned!

You need to have the brew basket pushed to the left and locked in the open position. If it is closed, and you cannot see the open filter basked with the filter in it, then it will not grind and assumes that you have pre-ground coffee in it.
