Does anyone ever use a paper filter to filter they're coffee made in a fresh press. I read something saying coffee prepared this way has 2 much acid.

I have a 2 cup and a larger 34 ounce press. Presses, even with the course grind, produce silt. I don't mind in small production, but with the larger press, I have put the coffee through a Chemex filter. The coffee was good, but it was a lot of trouble. I am not just making coffee for myself. I now use a Technivorm. If it were just myself, I would be using the small press.

No paper filters are required. There is a replaceable filter that comes with the unit. You wash it after every use. There is no bitter taste or acid when using this filter.

I don't use a filter. I find the coffee made in a press is richer and much better tasting than from a drip machine. I also grind my own beans every few days. I'd grind fresh every day if I had time. And I would never use pre ground, it always seems to taste flat or stale.

The paper/fiber filter filters out some sediment, and oils, I like having the paper filter, and removes some of the Many Many chemicals found in coffee, there is more than 1000 chemicals released from the beans in Hot coffee, I m not sure how many in cold coffee.

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!

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 just buy Folgers or Maxwell House or whatever Ground coffee. There is a metal filter basket. I do not buy the paper filters but there are some available, I just throw the coffee out when it gets to the dregs.

From what we read in the owner's manual, it uses a conical shaped paper filter. But we prefer the mesh screen filter basket that came with it versus the paper filters, the coffee seems to be more flavorfull this way.

Actually, there is no need for paper filter. The fine mesh gold tone basket included did the filtering job for both our Cuisinarts. First w. built in bean grinder that served us for a decade and now this second easier version that uses the fresh ground local purchases from our local favorite coffee houses.

I had bought a bag of cheap basket style filters for 99 cents a long time ago, I just stuff them into the basket and put a tablespoon of coffee in that. It works, it's cheap. When you don't use a paper filter, you will end up with sediment in the bottom of your cup.

They do not REQUIRE the paper filters, however, you do get a very small amount of coffee "debris" in the bottom of your cup, which is so small it is not a problem for either my husband or myself. I have not tried using them for anything other than coffee. Hopefully, someone else can answer your question concerning the other items.

I have never used a paper filter in a percolator. Although I know that some people do. I do find a few grains of coffee in the bottom of the pot however, I have never had them in a cup.

Yes #2 paper filter I what I use. I live drip coffee at home and traveling. Far superior to K cups.

It comes with a filter cup that fits into a case that is placed in the machine. I remove the filter cup which is part mesh for coffee flow and wash after each use. I looked for paper filters and so far have not found any that small. I don't think it was meant to use a paper filter due to the design of the filter. The coffee grounds stay in the filter. It does a good job. Easy to wash

Yes. The regular size paper filters work just fine and I think they do a better job filtering the coffee grounds than the permanent filter.

Personally, I do think the coffee tastes better. I am not a fan of anything hot running through paper or being served in a paper cup, so I think the gold tone filter does allow the coffee to taste better plus the filters are well built and last for a long time. Plus it's ecologically sound and means less trash in the landfill via discarded paper filters.

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...

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.

I found when using the plastic filter, without the paper filter you will get a fine particle sludge of coffee at the bottom of your cup. I am not a fan of cowboy type coffee, so I prefer the filters!
