I think it's as simple as this -- using a coarseness-of-grind that is compatible with the method (filter/drip!). @shrey - Did this fix your problem?

<p>If you're cleaning the equipment at least 15 minutes after finishing your coffee (and you threw away the leftover paper filter), then I can't see where else the coffee would come from.

I suspect your filter is getting clogged with coffee grounds that are too-finely ground. What kind of filter are you using (paper, metal, nylon, ...)? How do you grind your coffee? Does it *ever* drip out (like after an hour of letting it drain)?

Most coffee machines have a mechanism on the filter basket to stop the flow of coffee when you pull the carafe out(the glass jug). The carafe should have a plastic lid which should depress the release on the filter basket. If that plastic lid is not in place the filter basket will not expel coffee. Make sure that the lid is in place, and its depressing the valve on the filter basket. Also make sure nothing is making this valve stick, and that coffee isn't clogging this valve.

# Coffee still left in filter part

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-11-02)

I am using Philips HD 7450/20 6 Cups Coffee Maker . Recently After every cycle I find that some coffee(brewed) is still left in the filter part. I tried cleaning the equipment using vinegar.

Can someone suggest how to resolve this.
