Question 1

What works better - fine ground or medium grind?  i did fine, but it's too weak, and it's trader joe's french roast beans

Accepted Answer

Fine is best but it also depends on the roast. Fine ground medium roast was still too weak so tried dark roast and espresso roast and it was much better.

Question 2

Leaks into capsule holder? Foil is on tight.  Sometimes it leaks out the side between the foil and rim. Losing 1 - 2 oz into capsule holder.

Accepted Answer

Is your capsule bent or dented in any way? Also, make sure the foil is crimped tightly around the entire edge of capsule (but not covering the barcode on the bottom.

Question 3

Has anyone had trouble with the 2-part silicone tool not turning well and sort of sticking?  I returned my first one and the second one is worse.

Accepted Answer

Mine has not been terrible.  I usually only give it a slight twist (1/8th turn) to get the edges over and the top of the rim sealed.  My pods tend to stick in the top ring and I will gently dislodge them by pressing them out close to the ring.

You need to ensure the reused pod has had most of the original seal removed and there are no rough edges by the rim. That the seal is properly centered. There are no coffee grounds on either side where the adhesive is.  That the seal is properly centered and after using the top ring to seal, run the brush just inside the rim to get better adherence.

Question 4

Has anyone had the foul lid ripped while brewing and grinds  everywhere?

Accepted Answer

I never have had that happen, been using this product for 3 years.  I do know that once the new foil is put on the pod & used the lid to twist it on at times that doesn't work  so well so I have pop the pod out of the base & use my fingers to press the seal around the pod so that it is adhered properly
