If you purchase ground coffee (as I do) there will be some sediment in the bottom of the carafe. You can go to http://icoffee.com/component/hikashop/product/listing?Itemid=108 and order a basket filter at no charge if your coffeemaker didn't come with one. Remington must have realized this issue and designed a fix. I use the basket filter and it works well at removing the sediment.

I used one for several months before finally giving up on it. The sludge is a problem that even using the included secondary basket and a coarse grind on the beans did not ever go away. So the iCoffee did.

I am not sure what you want to know. Standard ground coffee is not always consistent in the grind and will have some of the grounds more of a powder consistency so when using a wire reusable basket you will see that the power will go into the pot (ie silt or sludge) which is different when using a paper filter that catches the finer coffee grounds. With this machine I recommend you get a course ground coffee or ground the beans yourself to a less power type grind consistency. This machine is great and works wonderfully with less grounds needed for your coffee but its filter is the wire reusable type and so a specific grind would work better and provide less of what people are calling the silt or sludge.

My husband does a medium grind with the coffee beans. I pour out the last 1/2 cup of coffee from the carafe as it is nothing but black sludge for lack of a better word. It settles to the bottom of the carafe soon after the full pot of coffee is brewed. To me it is bitter and unappealing.

Drawback of sludge was resolved when the manufacturer supplied a filter for free to remove this fine residue. It works great and resolved the issue to our satisfaction

My wife & I both enjoy full flavored coffee. We have experimented with many different brands & blends over the years. With previous coffee-makers certain brands required a large amount of grounds to get the bold taste we enjoy. Not so with this one. We have a large airport that we pour our steaming hot coffee into. As someone else mentioned, we pour off about a half cup at the bottom of the carafe & enjoy the rest.

The 'in carafe' filter basket removes almost, but not all, of the sediment. Part of the appeal of this method of brewing is the fact paper filters are not removing these fine particles. There are health benefits to this method as well as maximizing the flavor throughout the entire process. One person below pours out the last half cup of the pot - the sensible remedy for this. Keep in mind no paper filters are harmed this way.

I have recoated several worn spots with great results....But ---- do a small spot first to check it out.... I do think I would clean and recoat the entire surface....I think you are going to like the results.Old Nick

I'm sorry, but I have no clue what feedback of mine you are referring to. Please be a little more concrete. Thanks

Mine cleared in just about a day, a lot of the foamy sludge ended up in the filter which I cleaned twice in that time period.other than that the sand had been great,can't wait to fill my 90 gallon.

I think it is comparable to other better flushing toilets. Mine is great. No clogs.

I am go glad I can help.Like you, I use the reviews (recent reviews that is) as a testament to a real user. I will admit I don't know why Amazon doesn't filter out the people who use this avenue to epistolize ridiculous comments that are completely useless! LOLI absolutely adore this little vacuum and it is very strong on suction.You will enjoy it.Tammy

You should really look at the other comments. I made a mistake and didn't pay attention and ordered this piece of crap for a family member. Anytime an item has more 1 star ratings than 4 and 5 star combined, you should reconsider your purchase. Just my opinion.

So what is your opinion about the refurbished mop? I wouldn't mind one if all the kinks have been fixed.

I have a conventional septic system. Had it opened for pumping 4/28. Looked good. Guy doing he pumping gave it a good report. I use the green pig stuff quarterly. That was the 1st pumping in 4 1/2 years. Our system is a 900 gal tank that flows to a distribution box that channels the fluid to the drain field.

ps: see if you can find the review I posted a year ago - it covered most of this when it was a lot fresher in my mind. Would be under the name Start Loving - was one of their first reviews I think.

Yes I did, but I didn't see where anyone else stated they did. Since you're in a drought, you could just let it settle to the bottom and vacuum out the sediment.

I was reading the reviews on the Libman, and there were several very unhappy complaints about it leaking. A definite turnoff for me.

I had one from when I purchased my place and it started leaking from the bottom intermittently. Insinkerator was very helpful but noted that it was over 7 years old and out of warranty from the serial number I supplied. I purchased another as it is one of the quietest disposals I've encountered and figured it would be an easy replacement (and it was). Customer service also seemed top notch and actually called a couple times to help me with the old unit. Just another note as I look at the one star reviews, the basket on my original one did not rust nor did the impellers freeze into place. I've actually started disassembling the old one and don't see much of any rust. There is some light surface rust around the impellers on the old and even my new one but think this is what one reviewer referred to as 'cosmetic' rust as it's non-scaling.

No...but I've looked on the page and have seen a few OTHER complaints concerning durability. I have on the other hand heard of good success with contacting the Bolse people. Ask for a new one.

Sorry, I am pretty naïve on this. I think I would try the experts at one of the outdoor stores, see what they recommend and then pick it up online. That's what I did. Sorry I am not more wise.
