SOURCE: COFFEE GROUNDS
Your coffee is too finely ground for your basket. 2 solutions: buy "regular" ground coffee from now on, OR use filters inside the basket. Many 30 cup or 45 cup maker's baskets are sized so that a normal filter, flattened-out, and a small hole torn in the middle will fit into basket and prevent the grounds from passing through.

Leave the carafe off the hot plate and place the basket in holder with the lip under hinged flange so it sits flat. Then replace the carafe and the basket should not move up when the Pause and Serve button opens. I just bought this pot too and
love it but except for the basket placement problem.
SOURCE: Can I adjust the water flow for finely ground coffee?
You probably have coffee ground for a drip coffee pot, not an automatic drip coffee maker. With a drip coffee pot, you put the coffee in and add the hot water on top of that. You might want to try a coffee press. They are fantastic for the finer grinds of coffee. Some Mexican coffees are ground almost as fine as flour and a press works great. You can get a press for about $12 & up.

Adjust the grind on the machine, or the amount of coffee the grinder puts into the chamber.
SOURCE: water fills the filter and overflows with coffee
Are you using the original Bunn pot (carafe) or a replacement ?
At the bottom of the filter basket, there's a little lever that closes off the coffee flow when you remove the coffee pot. The idea is that you can pour a cup early, before the full pot is brewed, and it won't spill coffee all over the hotplate.
The original coffee pot fits right against this little lever, but if you have a replacement that's not the right size/shape, it won't reach the lever.
If this helps, please be sure to hit the thumbs-up for me.

I'm assuming
you've got a coffee filter pot as this is the
most common kind (especially as
wedding gifts).
1. Boil the water.
2. Put the filter (should come with the
pot) into the filter holder.
3. Add 2 level tbsp. of ground coffee
per 6 oz of water.
4. Pour some of the hot water over the
coffee grounds, giving them a few seconds to swell.
5. Now add the rest of the hot water and
allow the coffee to slowly drip through the filter.
6. Remove the filter with the coffee
grounds in just before the final drops of water go through.
7. Now sit down and enjoy!
