Troubleshooting

• Filter Tearing: Ensure the filter is properly folded along its crimped edges and seated correctly in the filter basket before adding coffee grounds and water. The double crimped design is intended to prevent tearing.
• Sediment in Coffee: Melitta paper filters are designed to trap impurities and sediment. If you experience sediment, ensure the filter is not damaged and is correctly positioned. Paper filters generally provide a cleaner cup compared to reusable mesh filters.
