Filter Basket Assembly?

I dropped the filter basket and the pieces came apart.  Any ideas which pieces go where?  There is a spring, a rubber piece and the piece that goes underneath the basket.  Any hints would be awesome!  I'm going crazy without my morning coffee!

Well, it's an easy fix. Take the plastic post with the knob on the end, place the spring around it and push it through the bottom hole in the filter basket from the OUTSIDE. Hold it tight against the spring with one hand and press the white plastic seal over the end of the post with the other. Check that it goes up and down smoothly.

Voila! Coffee!

The only downside is that it seems to keep happening. I've had to replace it 5 times and dig the small round seal out of the garbage disposal twice. Odd to have such a cheap and badly designed element of such a well-designed machine.
