In making my own concentrate, grounds get all over and it's messy to clean up. How does this work as far as cleanup?

It should not be messy at all. Follow these steps: 1. Make sure you are using coarse coffee grounds 2. Use a large paper filter (you can buy them on Amazon) and insert the ring with the holes in it inside the filter near the top as you put the filter in. This prevents the filter from collapsing. You can pour the grounds right through the holes. 3. Make sure the water drips very slowly into the grounds. Never just pour water in all at once. 4. Once you have drained the coffee from the grounds, remove the ring, rinse it off, and then just just dump the grounds into the trash.

Reduce the amount of coffee in the recipe for the drink you are making. Sounds like too much coffee is going into the brewer and overflowing. Even when operating perfectly you will get some grinds in the tray.

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.

Do you mean when you do not wait for the brewing cycle to finish and the machine has not beeped at completion? I don't know. My machine drips if I pull the pot out before it has completed brewing. ALSO, be sure to have the main coffee filter holder clicked into place. Ugh! Huge mess! Coffee grounds all over the inside of my pot. It is still better than the previous model. I do not use the reusable filter. I use the paper filters. Hope this helps!

I pour mine into a separate container after pressing. Then I clean out the press and start another one. The wife and I drink a lot of coffee so it doesn't last long for the two of us. I bought a glass pitcher with a sealable lid here on Amazon for storing the concentrate. 24 scoops sounds like way too much to me. I guess it depends on how much water you add to the cup to dilute it. I use 8-12 and don't dilute it much depending on how each batch tastes.

It comes with two really extra-large filters but once those were gone we never use them. It's kind of the beauty of it because you don't have one use things you're throwing away. Just dump the grounds in the garbage or outside in the garden.

I use the solo fill pod which is similar. I like using the filters for several reasons and would highly recommend them! 1. It seems to eliminate the occasional overflow. Without them, I sometimes get grounds or just plain water in my cup. 2. It is easier to clean your pod, especially if you are going to reuse it immediately (as for a second cup). Without a filter, you have to handle the hot wet grounds directly, which is messy. After using one, I let it cool or dry. I empty the grounds into a container to save using ony plants later. I put the empty paper filter in my compost. Much less waste than a kcup!

You could try. The grounds really get stuck in there. Mine died after a couple of years, but while it worked, it was a great grinder.

Directions are on the container, I think you mix 2 parts water to 1 concentrate. I use distilled water.

I used a battery operated grinder and it handled it just fine, until the grinder pooped out ... but then I used it a LOT. Then I just decided to buy the already ground stuff and I'm much happier. Either way it's quality salt, no additives, no difference in taste or flavor, and no grinding!

I use the make-your-own pod papers for filters. 2 for 1- top then bottom separately. Makes it easy to empty. I now also make up pods to use in the loose coffee drawer. No messing with dragging it all out & measuring first thing in the morning. Keep them sealed in a container & can even freeze or refrigerate if you want to retain freshness.

The concentrate needs to be mixed with water. You can still put it in a sprayer with the proper mix of water to concentrate and spray.

I have never had grounds in my coffee! I use a disposable filter in the filter that came with the pot. Be sure the disposable filter is carefully placed. Use your fingers to smooth it out inside the disposable filter. Good luck!

I use the regular auto drip setting. I fine bit of sediment gets through but that doesn't bother me. If it bothers you, you might try a coarser grind.

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.

you just use about 2 tablespoons of grounds. no need for disposable singles since the maker has a built-in basket filter

When you put in the paper filter, wet it with water and gently push it down into the cone so it is stuck to the bottom and edges. Then put in your coffee. Wet the grounds with hot water and proceed to half fill with water. Continue slowly adding water until your cup is full. the wet filter sticks to the cone and creates a vacuum so it drains much more slowly. I was tempted to plug one hole before even trying this for the first time but followed the directions in the email that I received after purchasing the cone first and it does work. Too coarse a grind will speed up the drip, too. Mine is just a little finer than traditional drip grind.
