Do you need to buy the paper filters to use with this? Or can you just put the coffee grounds directly inside before brewing?

If you can find paper filters, let me know. It works pretty well, but here are too many coffee grounds in the cup for me.

no filters necessary. I also bought the plastic ones and actually like them better. They are also cheaper. Brew and Save Refillable K Cup for Keurig Brewers, 2 Count by Brew & Save

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

Paper filters are not needed, though you will get a few fine grounds in the bottom of the cup. Also, this cup works best if you don't don't grind the coffee too fine. Some pre-ground coffee doesn't work too well because it is ground too fine.

I don't but some of the fine grounds get into the coffee. For me I don't mind, I have tried using paper filters and the cost just made me consider buying a prefilled k-cup. I hope this helps!

It is an easy answer. Just put the coffee in it and close it. Depend upon how you want it you put a little or a lot of coffee in it. Never fill it to the top. �

No, the laser drilled holes act as the filter. My complaint about this Product over the EkoBrew Version is that the holes in the bottom of the Brew & Save are too big for regular grind coffee and the water runs through it too fast under the Keurig steam pressure, yielding a weaker brew. It works fine with finer grinds of coffee and most teas.

We use a paper filter in ours. We had some left over from before. They are just like the ones used in a regular Mr. Coffee, but one size bigger; fold in quarters, cut off tip and it fits over the percolator tip. The last ones I purchased were at WalMart, but I have not purchased any in the last year. The holes in the basket filter are quite small, you could try it without the paper filter, but you will likely have some grounds left in the bottom of the pot.

It does not say it requires them, but unless you like cleaning grounds out of the gunk at the bottom afterward, it would be wise to use them. I've seen paper filters shaped like discs for sale, but you don't need to spend extra money--just lay out a normal 12-cup paper filter flat and poke a hole in the middle, then lay it inside the filter basket. It'll save you having to clean out the nozzle later.

probably, but you don't need to buy filters as long as the coffee used is not too fine. Just wet the coffee basket with water and then fill with the measured coffee needed for the amount of cups brewed. There should be little if any coffee grinds that get through. Hope this helps.

It uses #4 cone paper filters.It does not take normal basket filters because of it's internal shape.Maybe Russell Hobbs has a basket that fits it but I bought a gold mesh basket filter and it did not fit.It is not the same shape inside as most coffee makers.I have been using paper only and quite happy with it!

I always use paper filters with this coffee maker, as I have done with previous coffee makers with permanent filters. Permanent filters will never be able to filter out the very small coffee grounds.

We just used it for hot water. If I remember correctly, there was an insert into which you could to make coffee. I would assume you would use a paper filter for it.

No need for a filter. Just put in the coffee, close the lid, and pop it into the brewer.

The white filters are not necessarily needed. My wife likes to grind the coffee fine to try and get the strongest coffee. The fine grounds, some get thru the mesh, not the white filter and then clean up is much easier also. If you don't grind fine, it is only the clean up issue.

Inside the pot there are the typical holes where the spout begins. Not necessarily a screen. We always have percolator coffee pots and discovered a few years ago that the small (4-6 cup size) paper filters fit in the basket just right and greatly reduce the grounds in your cup. All you have to do is add another 1/4 scoop of coffee to offset any weakness in your brew from using a paper filter. I hope this helps.

Melissa, you do not have to put the coffee in a paper filter, although I suspect that may make cleanup somewhat easier. I would think the purpose of buying this item would be to avoid the high cost of the K-Cups. Adding a paper filter will probably increase the cost of each brew by 10 cents. Some people may feel the cost is worth it, but the filter is definitely not necessary. Enjoy!

I am not sure, since I put a paper filter inside it anyway to make coffee...

Also, there are paper filters that you can use to put your own coffee into. Then throw the filters away.

None. There is a plastic basket inside where you can put your coffee. I never used a filter but suppose if you get a really small one it might help if some of the grounds, if small, escape into the coffee pot.

No filters are needed. Great tasting coffee & it brews quickly! I just love this product!

You have to buy the grey EZ cup to use with the filters. I think using two filters (the reusable screen one and the paper) makes it weaker so I use my coffee grinder to grind the regular coffee finer before filling it. I've never tried using the paper filter without using the EZ cup screen filter. I bought extra screen filters as well as the paper filters.

I just hand wash the parts inside or put in dishwasher. I use paper filters so coffee grinds come out easy with filter. Makes good coffee but it's hard to see the water line inside. Hope this helps.
