What shape and size filter should I use, since I find them easier for clean-up? Thanks!

I quarter a paper towel (or half the 'new' half-sheet rolls). With the metal screen the coffee maker comes with, this simply makes cleaning up the grounds as simple as wadding the paper towel into the trash and rinsing the screen and holder under the faucet.

Use no. 1 filters - I buy them in a box of 10 or 12 boxes from Amazon for under $ 25.

Either size works. I use the regular (larger) size filters and fold it over the coffee. It makes for easier clean up than the smaller filters.

I get the Melitta #1 cone filters on Subscribe & Save. The permanent filter lets a bit of fine residue through. I have used a #2, but it's a little too big. Put the $1 cone inside the permanent filter and it works great.

Not sure..cleanup on this one is so easy that I wouldn't waste my money..only takes like ten seconds to rinse out and comes very clean.

Get the Simple Cup filters. They fit good and I use them all the time. I buy the box of 300. Got to get another box. They are thinner than the Melitta Java Jig filters. Cheaper though and work great in the MyCafe cups. I use them all the time. I will get 2 boxes this time.

Most systems use a universal size filter... If your filters measure apx 2 3\4x 9 7\8... then use should be alright

My old filters also showed a model #: Unicel FG-1003. I was very confused about the model number as well. Last summer I replaced it with the FS-2003 since the dimensions seem to fit my measurements. They fit perfectly.

I'm also having this issue. None of the filters here on Amazon seem to be the requisite (approximately) 6-3/4 diameter that would work. Right now I'm thinking I'll buy this larger size Counter Composter Replacement Filters: Large 2 Gallon, and cut it down to the correct size. It may be something that could be purchased elsewhere, but I'm just not finding it on Amazon. It is more than a bit frustrating!

I use paper filters inside of the mesh holder. Makes it easier to clean up.

What I did was to go to a hardware store like home depot or lowes and brought a inexpensive large filters and then cut them to fit. One filter makes 4 to 5 small filters after cutting them up. You can even find some in walmart just cut them to fit.

The no 1 filters are Smaller in diameter and height. The no 1 filters will fall slightly below the rim of this cone. I used the no 1 filters(when i could actually find them) and i did not like them. Too small. I prefer the no 2

I use this filter and put the disposable inside, it saves me the mess. I have three of these reusable filters, so I put the disposable inside the three of them at once, so the filters are much easier to clean afterwards and the mess in the sink is minimal.

I use #4 filters. They're way too "tall" for the holder but keep all the grounds in the filter if I get a little too heavy handed pouring in the hot water. I love this gadget!

I don't know anything about any filters, I'm no help. Hope you can get your answer questioned.

I use paper filters for easy clean up but the mesh is sufficient on its own. Paper filters fit right into the mesh basket.

Which filter do you have? That will help me help you on the size. As for replacing, you really shouldn't have to unless they tear or perhaps your tank gets really sick so you may want to change if to rid remnants of illness. I changed mine due to a rip and really, really yucky water so we could start with a fresh filter situation.

There are two parts to the filters a round one which has a 6.5" diameter and a square one that is 5x5". I think the intent is for you to put the square one in first then the round one to hold it into the lid. That's the only use I can come up with for the round one. Hope this helps

I had the same problem. These filters are too wide to replace the "5" filters that are actually 4"3/8. Your website needs to point this out. Customers, read the small print.When I called to return, I was told I had to pay the shipping. Post office wanted $60 to return my $100 purchase! I donated them to Habitat for Humanity Restore.When i called

Get whatever strength of collection you want to obtain in your filter. The pleated ones will eat up more battery power per usage, but filters out more pollens etc. i use the flat ones and its satisfactory enough for me. Tho mfr and vendors might not like it, i wash mine after its finished its cleaning cycle.

I use a 8-12 cup size filter and that works, might also be the same size as a regular #4 filter. Just punch a small hole on the middle. :)
