Mesh filter boiled over but these Bunn branded filters kept the grounds out of the pot. They're a little taller, though. Almost boiled over also.

Don’t the filters usually fill the container? Can you get larger/taller ones? When the family all switched to pods I kept my French press. Really enjoy it with fresh beans.

I've been using these cheapo filters for years. The new ones I bought are a  little bit taller. Seems to be working for now.

it's gotta be something broken or clogged if it didn't do it before and you didn't change anything... maybe run some descale solution or vinegar through a few times..

just curious if you tamp your grounds down before you brew? i started doing this a couple weeks ago and i swear it makes it taste better. i know the gurus say never do that but what do they know!

nothing picky or anything i just use the bottom of my cup and pack it tight...

Clogging would mean slower flow, right? Slower flow is what I need, or fast flow through the filter.

I have tamped when I was first going through this again but it boiled over just the same.

It would make sense though, tasting better. Seems like the water and coffee would mix for longer, giving you more coffee flavor, right?

I'll tamp tomorrow morning's pot.

Tamped and it behaved the same. Didn't boil over though so I think I found my fix for now.
