Does the basket hold an adequate amount of coffee (2 T grounds per cup) without causing overflow?

Hi,We like strong coffee so we use 3 heaping scoops, which each scoop holds 1/8th cup and haven't had an issue with that! I hope that helps.

yes it does , if you follow the directions and remember the cup sizes are like English cups so much smaller than our American cup size. I usually add a little more to my scoop because I love my coffee stronger. make sure to use the JUG itself to measure the water and you won't overflow it. That's an hint.

Yes it does! No problem! It will even hold a little more than that without any overflow!

It's great for no overflow! I haven't had a problem at all. However, with my last coffee pot, a Cuisinart, I kept it on a tray, to keep the overflows from running all over my counters.

If the fit weren't tight, you would let the grounds pass into the coffee. It doesn't hurt or scratch mine. It's a good thing, in my opinion.

Two table spoons of beans will pretty much fill the hopper and the drawer can comfortably hold about that much in grounds without spilling over the sides. This is the perfect amount of beans for a 12oz cup of coffee.

Not to my knowledge. I would put less water for a smaller amount of coffee. This coffee maker lasted less then six months. I have given up on Mr.Coffee makers

Fast answer is YES. I think the grduations start at '3-cups', you will need to adjust the amount of coffee accordingly. NOTE: This pot requires a COARSE GROUND coffee; the standard stuff is ground for use with a filter and is so fine it passes right through the basket. . .

I put a cup and a half in it and it still has room to spare, two cups is prob about the max though. Def not more than 2.5

no, they are the right size and work well but if you use to much coffee you will get grounds in it.

Not the holding tank, but you can put the water bucket/basket that holds the brewed coffee. Maybe that's what you meant?

John, I would say it depends on the coffee you use and how much you put in the basket. We like ours a bit stronger, we use Columbian coffee and I put 3 level scoops and maybe 1/3 to a 1/2 scoop. I do recommend using the Bunn coffee filters too. They are bigger so you don't have overflow of grounds in your coffee. You may just want to try out different amounts until you find what works for you.

I love the strainer. Tis roomy with fairly small openings. But, this is not fine enough to strain coffee grounds.

Well, not exactly - it's a bit too small but it does work if you're making less than 8 cups. Any more than that and the grounds will probably overflow the filter - at least that's what happened to me. I use paper filters when I'm brewing 8 cups or more.

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.

If I fill it up to the top of the coffee beans holder, the catching basket overflows. So your upper limit is controlled by the basket. If you grind a full basket I can use 2/3rd of the coffee to make my 4 cups Expresso machine. The other third is set aside for the next time.If you have a large Coffee pot you can just grind multiple times to achieve your desired amount.

This is for ground coffee. The top is wide enough to hold K cups but it wouldn't hold very many.

The mesh of the strainer is very fine. The strainer appears to me to be able to hold about 1/3 of a cup.

I don't clearly understand the question. If you are asking if the filter will hold enough ground coffee to make twelve cups of coffee at one time then the answer is yes.

It does eight cups with plenty of room to spare not sure of the basket size of your coffe maker but this does have the capacity to hold more product so I am guessing it should work in larger capacity set up. I use it every day and it is very durable I rinse it out after each use with cold water. I have had no complaints with it this far. Enjoy!
