Does it allow you to use a paper filter?

yes I have put it on top of the grinder (Cone shaped). Must remember NEVER to turn the grinder on with the paper filter in!! Another mess if you forget!

Yes, they sell paper filters that are ok... plus they have plastic ones which I use , put the ground coffee inside but don't use the lid that comes with it... works great...

Yes, that's actually its main intention. You can also ground your own and add that. There's a screen filter that fits inside it, but I personally add paper filters as well to aid in quick clean up.

It uses paper filters in a cone basket but, you can get reusable wire basket like I did. Get one at Bed, Bath, and beyond. It works fine!

Yes, I use paper filters all the time. I prefer to throw away the paper filters with the old coffee grinds instead of cleaning the gold mesh filter after every use.

Yes paper filters, unfortunately they don't have a reusable filter that fits this particular model.

Yes, but it is easy to do so. If you use paper filters it would be even easier.

It comes with a mesh filter basket, which you can remove to use paper filters if you prefer.

I use a paper filter! To me you need one, I don't get that permanent filter term they use. You need a filter!

Hi Peter, this machine does not need a paper filter, it already has a filter that you can wash every time you use it.

For Yes I need to put paper filter because some of the coffee is not filter from the hole and so the coffee you drink have coffee fiber on it, but its up to you weather u like to put the paper filter or not its ok by me because I use it with or without the paper filter

Tim, the filter is real thick, but you can push it down enough to force the plastic piece with the "catches" to close enough to hold the metal filter in place. As an alternative you might be able to get some fine sandpaper in there and sand down the plastic for a little more clearance... Personally, I went back to paper because I found the metal filter just too much hassle. I'll keep it in case I run out of paper filters. RON.

It does require a filter - we use paper filter for 8-12 cup size brewer. Not sure if a 'permanent' filter is available for sale separately.

No. You do not need to buy the permanent filter. Regular paper filters will work just as well. In fact, I purchased the permanent filter separately.

Absolutely... I personally don't like using paper, but it is much easier For cleaning. Leave the gold filter in place, won't hurt, then just a quick rinse.

The filter basket (the plastic basket that holds either a disposable paper filter or a permanent filter) is included, as is a filter disk. Paper filters are easy to find, and I think I recall that 1 was included. The permanent filters work well, and may be worth the few extra $.

You can use paper filters. #4 size. They fit into a plastic filter holder that snaps into place. You might be able to use a reusable gold filter instead of paper--you'd need to check the manual.
