5. Troubleshooting

• Coffee Grounds in Brewed Coffee: Ensure the filter is properly seated in the coffee maker's basket. If using very fine grounds, a slightly coarser grind may be beneficial, or ensure the filter mesh is not damaged.

• Filter Does Not Fit: Verify that your coffee maker is a compatible 8-12 cup basket-style model. This filter is not designed for cone-shaped filter holders or specific models like the Hamilton Beach 46310.
