Brewed coffee mess

Everytime I make coffee I get coffee and grounds leaking over the top of my filter basket. I usually have around a cup of coffee on the counter and grounds on the brewer base and all over the inside of the basket. I also have to clean grounds off of the bottom of the coffee maker were the water enters the basket. I use bunn fiters.

You may be grinding the coffee to fine making the draining a little slower. There's something called a fast flow filter that may help also. Also, make sure that you aren't jamming the filter down to partially block the drain hole ensuring that it is freely draining out unobstructed

Husband brewed coffee using reusable filter without the lid. Grounds everywhere. Is it possible for the grounds to have made it to the 'guts' of the unit? Should I disassemble to clean?

Just clean as per the directions in the manual. Get a reusable cup with a rubber seal around the lid and do not fill to the top, leave room for the top to close and seal.

Will not process the water to make coffee

the coffe maker might be clogged up so here' what to do: Look through the clear plastic panel on the side of the coffee maker's water tank to make sure that it has water in it.
  • Clean your Sunbeam coffee maker, You can wash the removable filter basket and carafe in hot, soapy water and pour 4 cups of white vinegar into the water reservoir of your coffee maker. Start the brewing cycle with no coffee grounds to allow the vinegar to clean the inside of the coffee maker. Rinse away the vinegar by running the brewing cycle twice with only clean, fresh water.
  • 8 Check the removable filter basket to see if the filter has collapsed if you find coffee grounds in your brewed coffee. If the paper filters collapse often you can wet them before you place them inside the filter basket so that they will stick to the basket and stay in place. or check this link because it might need a new hose.

    Coffee grounds in the cup

    since you said usually... I suspect the rubber seal that surrounds the top needle is not seating well...
    you can verify this by making a beverage with a k-cup and, just before the water starts, add a little hand pressure to the K-cup arm pushing down a little bit... not hard...
    If it consistently makes a good beverage, then we focus our attention to that piece of the brewer...
    when the consistency of the water changes, it tells me to look for leaks or unusual percolation of water...

    you can verify the K-cup holder is ok... but another way to simulate the hand pressure is to put a shim of some sorts under the lip of the k-cup... like the thickness of a couple sheets of paper under the rim... not the actual k-cup... but the k-cup holder... raising it up a smidge is the same as the slight hand pressure...

    I would look to see if the rubber seal has come loose around the top needle....

    When I put in, 6 cups of water, if the 10 cup Bunn coffee maker after it has sat overnight, it only expels about 4 - 4.5 cups. I don't think it can all be evaporating or being absorbed in the grounds can...

    look for water leaks around pot. Otherwise do a daytime brew to compare your difference between the amount poured in and what comes out. Please note that less water should mean using less ground coffee. Suggest 1 heaping table spoon per brewed cup.

    COFFEE GROUNDS COME THROUGH THE HOLES IN COFFEE BASKET. WHAT TYPE COFFE SHOULD I USE TO ELIMINATE THIS? IS THEIR A FILTER MADE FOR TJHIS URN

    Your coffee is too finely ground for your basket. 2 solutions: buy "regular" ground coffee from now on, OR use filters inside the basket. Many 30 cup or 45 cup maker's baskets are sized so that a normal filter, flattened-out, and a small hole torn in the middle will fit into basket and prevent the grounds from passing through.
