So i brought a coffee pot back to college with me. When I make the coffee once and a while there is coffee grinds in the coffee, and almost always coffee grinds at the bottom of the pot. How do I fix this. I use a canned coffee, filter, water all the norm stuff.

Happens all the time with a french press or good shots of espresso. Sure, it's a little bitter but it's really just a gift from the coffee gods.

Maybe skip the canned coffee and get some fresh ground beans from costco/etc. Though, I don't know how much of a price difference there.

You're probably spilling some outside the filter or into the pot when you spoon the coffee in.

Read that wrong. This is not necessarily what's happening. The coffee maker might be putting water into the filter basket faster than it comes out of the hole in the bottom. Make the hole at the bottom of the filter basket larger to keep up with the flow.

will try it next time. The put the coffee grinds in the filter before i put the filter into the coffee maker this way I can minimize doing that. Ill try the making the hole bigger next time I make coffee though.
