Just used these for the first time and with our coffee, the coffee grains just completely dissolved - anyone else have that happen? No residue left

That makes no sense unless you inadvertently got instant coffee. I've used these with regular coffee and with the special roasts and love them ... and I always have water soaked coffee grounds to dump out afterwards.

I use regular ground coffee in mine, like Folgers and etc with no problem. Are you using instant coffee? That would happen if you use instant.

Not really. I have had this grinder for a few months now, and find that if I tap the grinder, maybe 1/4 - teaspoon, at most, comes out. I don't save it as I want freshly ground coffee each time I make it. The directions recommend cleaning the burrs every few weeks, and I have done it twice in a few months - that's all. I have not noticed appreciable residue when I switch from one kind of bean to another.

No need to "toss" it. Let it settle, then put the batch through a coffee filter (maybe a couple of times). It is normal to have some residue to accumulate in the bottom of the container. Pay attention to the time you processed it to calculate the strength.

I add them to my oatmeal and/or yogurt, it's delicious, I tried to use some in my coffee today to see if it dissolves, no more was left. It's a kind of sugar, so it should dissolve in water or lemonade. You may want to mix it with a little warm/hot water to dissolve and then add to your lemonade or water. Hope this helps!

My experience is exactly the same. I've thrown mine out. Would never purchase these again and would never recommend anyone buy them.

Try tamping the portafilter not so densely. If the machine has good water flow without coffee in it, experiment with the fineness of the grind, the amount in the portafilter, and the amount of pressure you use to tamp. there is definitely a learning curve!

This is true for this product, in my experience. I'd been using paper filters for months with my 4-cup coffee maker and decided to get a permanent filter to reduce paper waste. Coffee looked watered down and tasted as such. I'm back to using paper filters.

Yes I had the same problem. The first time I tried to brew, only two cups went through and the coffee was cold. Tried once more holding the reservoir and no water would go through. Packed it up and sent it back after 2 tries.

make sure the cup that holds the coffee is in place.I threw mine out the first time I used it by mistake and had the same problem.

I agree that sediment is a fact of life after trying several coffee grinds.Now I simply rip a smaill piece of a coffee filter and place it in the Keurig coffee receptacle before befre dropping the ecobrew filter in. Can't be too large or it doesn't seat properly. It catches some of the sediment. Not all

They are not reusable. Need to use one filter for each cup of coffee. They work very well in my opinion. Prevents coffee grind residue in your cup.

Try this: the bottom of the container has a small opening which the brewed coffee comes out of, take a toothbrush to it. I had the same problem, had a grain of coffee stuck in there! Good luck!

I noticed the same thing. I'm not sure why this is, but the best I could figure is the filtration basket , and disc are not good. I threw this make away and just bought another brand & the coffee tastes fine again. Never changed the amount.

I just tested w/dunkins preground coffee I bought packaged in store. a poured a little and half of fell through mesh. I shook the Polder back and forth a couple times and the rest fell through. It looks like sand would probably do the same-fall through though I'm not sure.

I haven't had the grounds come up into the coffee. It is a mess to clean up but that's part of the French press thing I'm guessing!!!! You don't grind the coffee very fine so check that out too....good luck!!!!

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 :(

Yes they do! I had a hard time finding the unbleached as well! They work for my Mr. Coffee 4 cupper!It's an old model - maybe 2005 or so.....is this helpful to you? Enjoy the unbleached flavor of the brew! Yes they are flat bottomed as previous reviewer mentioned!!!
