Is it true that it leaves too much coffee at the bottom?

I think the key to your question is: "too much". This press is a good coffee maker for the price and has not presented any problems, so far (I've had the press for a year and a half.) Answering your question: there is a residue of grounds left but not excessive. Good luck.

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

No, not at all. Only the coffee grounds remain at the bottom of the pot, which is exactly where you want them and not in your cup.

It sounds like the coffee will be very stale by the time you are done with it. Unless you plan on transfering the coffee into smaller bags and removing all the air to store, I would recommend buying a smaller bag, say a pound at a time.

I just measured the bottom where the cup would go, and to ME, it looks like 3 3/4 would be just a little over the limit. It is so close that I cannot in good conscience, say yes. By the way, I found that using a cone shaped filter #4 makes a more clear cup of coffee. The strainer in the bottom lets some grounds through the screen, which probably could benefit from a tighter mesh. This is not my main source of coffee, but a spur of the moment wish for a quick cup. I usually use a 12 cup brewer.Hope this helps.

Yes. Now that I think of it, there was an issue- I thought I did some thing wrong.Too bad because it made a great cup of coffee.

Yes, a certain amount as the coffee brews. We find it better not to keep it on a counter that is under a cupboard.

Hi Victoria: I delayed answering your email because I wanted to be 100% sure I was correct. I went home and made a pot of (Mountian Blue) coffee. I filled it up to 5 cups - on the glass carafe it was just a tad under the max line and not a drop spilled. So short answer your pot is defective :(

There is some wiggle room. If it were pressed with no space, it would force the grounds back into the coffee. At least that's what I've figured. Mine has wiggle room and the coffee is great.

I'm not sure - I never tried. I would imagine that you can place less water and coffee, but I honestly never tried. Sorry,

I do not consider this a problem at all. There sometimes may be a very fine amount of residue but no different from coffee ground particles at the bottom of a cup at times. The press works eztremely well.

I doubt it. It comes to a sharp point at the bottom. Every other coffee make I've seen has a flat bottom.

No, the perforations are larger than most coffee grinds. Why don't you put the coffee in the trash??

Make sure you're cleaning out the little float valve on the lid. It can clog up with coffee grinds from time to time if you've put a little too much in the filter area.

The "plunger" goes nearly to the bottom...I've found that only a small amount of liquid remains. It keeps the coffee hot plenty long enough, too. And if you prep with hot water it will stay hot even longer. I haven't had much in the way of grounds escape either. Probably because I grind my coffee too long. I'm very pleased!

Just put a cup under and drain until no more comes out. Also, the part where the coffee is comes out I believe. It's easy to maintain.

My husband uses this more often than I do - but he tells me that if he presses the plunger too fast he will get too many of these particles. I seem to remember from presses I've had in the past that there often are very fine particles in the bottom. You may want to get your coffee ground more coarsely for use in a french press.

Yes, even with everything closed tight, when I purposely turned the mug upside down, the coffee spilled out the sip area. Just secure the mug in a good spot.

Not really becuse you press the coffee below the top. It maybhit it when you pour. Not sure..
