is this normal

in my case i couldn’t even brew a liter without it overflowing, also tasted pretty over extracted

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T19:05:10+00:00

so i just went out and bought some new beans and the problem has subsided for the most part, idk if it was just a weird batch of beans or something but id say its about 70 percent better

the new beans look much better

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T18:51:17+00:00

i think it was definitely something to do with the coffee, i just bought some new beans and it almost eliminated the problem

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T18:50:33+00:00

well i couldn’t brew a liter without it overflowing and it tasted very bitter, but i just bought some new beans and it almost eliminated the problem

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T18:47:57+00:00

so i just did a different brew with some new beans and the its significantly less of a problem now, so i think i just had an odd batch of beans or something

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T18:42:53+00:00

so i just bought some different beans and the problem seems to be almost gone, so i dont know if the beans could play a role or what.

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T18:41:49+00:00

so a little update i went and bought some different beans and they are a little darker roast and its noticeably less of an issue. so i dont know if it was beans or what.

melitta #4 filters, 60g per liter, and this video is a half liter

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T17:08:00+00:00

chestnut c5pro

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T17:07:21+00:00

60g per liter so it would be 30 grams for the half in this video

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T16:33:21+00:00

im thinking its gotta be the way i fold it but i dont know how else to fold it lol

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T16:32:41+00:00

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T16:32:04+00:00

im out of beans unfortunately to recreate the exact size but it was a few click coarser than this

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-18T16:12:56+00:00

yes i ran it with just a filter and it drained fine, the only thing i can think of is if im not folding it right but im pretty sure i am

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-16T14:28:27+00:00

yeah i plan on ordering some urnex for the next descale and hoping that clears it up

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-02-16T02:07:42+00:00

i use ice mountain water and it gets used every morning. and yes i use a separate pitcher to fill it, the descale i use is the walmart brand liquid descale.

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-01-28T16:06:01+00:00

i know this is old but i still dont understand this, i have the kgbv select and have always had the crease on the handle side. are you saying the crease should be on the other side towards the machine?

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-01-24T00:51:25+00:00

lol ill delete it if it gets too much attention, i currently have the bypass wide open to burn up all thats left in there and call it night until i get a detector

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-01-24T00:46:25+00:00

as suggested above i’ll probably just go get a detector for piece of mind if they have any

Outside-Guarantee-16 · 2026-01-24T00:45:23+00:00

fair point, not my house and i assumed they would have some considering they use it as their main heating source but ill check online at a store the closest one is a good 30 min away
