I bought a new coffee maker recently...it's a 12 cup mama-jama and I LOVE it BUT the darned thing spews my fine grounds of fresh java beans willy nilly. I finally had a *light-bulb* moment and found one of those cheap, plastic strainers and sawed off the handle and use it as a 'topper' on my grounds. It works like a dream now and no coffee spewage. :)
