coffee overflowing: Has anyone else had this problem?

Call Bunn and order a soft water spout. This will fix your problem. It will add 20 seconds to the brewing cycle but no more overflows.

Your best bet is to make a pot of coffee while you are awake and see where the problem originates. With a different model, we found that we added too many grounds and the basket would overflow. If you are in an area with hard water, be sure to run white vinegar or other hard water remover through the system. All the other answers are good too. Until you watch the process, though, you can't really find the problem to come up with a solution.

I bought the mesh strainers and put the coffee in them and it overflowed.. The unit is made for sealed Pods. Buying coffee in pods makes it very expensive.So, what Idid to overcome it is this.. You can buy Coffee filter made out of paper in the market.. I use the mellita # 1 filters. You put the filter under the retainer and put ground coffee in the filter. You have to make sure the top ring secures the top of the filter so it does not overflow. That will make great coffee.

I hated that coffee maker! Threw it in the trash. Tried everything to keep it from overflowing but nothing worked. Sorry

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 found a solution! Take a can of compressed air, the kind you use to clean your keyboard, and shoot a few short bursts into the water drain after removing the water reservoir. Do this when the machine is off and the water has cooler. OR, use a small needle to poke around in the top piercing needle for a few seconds then run a cycle without a k-cup. You should get a full cup of hot water with lots of coffee grounds floating around. It's a quirk but this resolution really works!

Bunn has a fix for that, an optional spray head that restricts the flow and increases the brew time. Also try using finer grinds, not just more grinds. If you do use more or finer grinds, however, make sure you are using Bunn-brand filters that have the taller sides to avoid overflows. Good luck!

No real solution. Air pockets cause this. Keeping it full helps to reduce the air pockets but the first cup of the day will always do it.

This happened to me several times also.... was very disappointing because I love the coffee! Since then, I close the top of my Keurig carefully and that has seemed to help.

I recommend calling Mr. Coffee directly. Maybe they have received other complaints from people having the same problem. In my experience, Mr. Coffee is a customer friendly company.

I think everyone has had this happen. You stated that it usually overflows on your second cup, are you using fresh cold milk? I've tried "re-frothing" the leftover milk (which is up to the minimum level) for a second cup. It tries to hard and over flows. I've found that if it appears like it's going to overflow, I just pull the frothing cup out. No mess.

It sounds like you are either not using enough coffee, or you are using a filter, which is not needed. It takes at least 6 heaping tablespoons of coffee.

I have not had this problem but I don't fill mine to the "limit". I make cups of coffee at once at the most which only requires a little water. Also I don't actually boil the water as it has been recommended that the perfect temp for a pour over is between 199 and 202 degrees. If you have a thermometer take your water temp, put the lid on at 199 and see the result.

If the leak just above the coffee drip dispense area, that is normal. If anywhere else I'm not sure. Could the unit have been over filled?
