Hi! I can't open the link you provided. But I can tell you that I specifically asked Krups for a permanent filter for this model and I got a reply from them saying they NEVER made one for this particular model. Possibly a different one might fit.

I don't know about the filter but I hate this machine. The espresso is not hot at all and the quality is poor. I still have to go to Starbucks for a cappuccino The coffee maker does not keep the coffee hot. I would not buy another one and would not recommend it! -2 stars

One needs to put in a paper filter in the filter area to put coffee grounds in - and this applies to making regular coffee on the right side of the unit.

They may be referring to a reusable cone filter - but you need only use the #4 cone shaped paper filters. I use this to make coffee every morning and every now and then I use the espresso side for special drinks. It doesn't have the fancies like a timer or auto off, but it works just fine for us (just don't forget to turn it off). I hope this helps you.

This coffee maker did not come with a filter so I bought some paper ones. They cost about $1.00 for 100. I also bought on Amazon two permanent filters so you could use either kind. This little coffee maker rocks!

We have always used the Mr. Coffee GTF2-1 Basket-Style Gold Tone Permanent Filter with 3 heaping scoops of coffee with no issues. We use regular coffee, as in Maxwell House or Folgers Breakfast Blend. If your coffee is a finer grind, that could be your problem. Cam's Dad suggested the Cuisinart filter which could help if that is your issue. Good luck!

This coffeemaker has two filters. Screen filter and charcoal filter. The screen filter is the somewhat annoying one, that is in the way of installing and removing the permanent filter. It does appear that the screen filter can be easily removed if desired. The screen filter is a pre filter that screens the water that you pour into the unit. If you choose to use this screen filter, it does affect the size of permanent filter that you can use with this unit, EASILY! Because the screen filter is in the way, I've had to use a slightly smaller permanent filter, or my other option was to literally wrestle with the unit every time I removed or installed the permanent filter if I chose to use the size that the unit calls for, I believe it is #4. So I have measured both permanent filters for you and the smaller one of the two is the one that we use. It doesn't overflow, but the coffee grounds are near the top of the filter. The smaller permanent filter that we use is: 3.5 inch height --- diameter across the top is 4.75 inch wide, The larger permanent filter, probably the correct size but to difficult to use, the size is 3.75 inch height---diameter across the top is 5 inch wide. The only reason I haven't removed this annoying screen filter is because it is under warranty, but that very well may be the best solution. Good luck!

I've had this machine for only 4 days now, and the only problem I see with it is that even with low levels of coffee grounds they come perilously close to overflowing the #4 cone filter. I suspect this is due to two factors: 1) the filter basket bottom is flat so that once the filter is wet it sags to conform which lowers it and allows grounds to overflow, and 2) I suspect water flows faster than other coffeemakers I've had (DCC-1200) and this causes water to stay in the basket longer. I'm using the same amount and grind on my coffee and also the same filters and this was never an issue on the DCC-1200. I'll experiment a bit and hopefully find a solution or this is going back.

Dorothy, that's actually a very good question, and I don't have the answer. I also have a Keurig with its filter but never thought about this question. Probably Keurig is the best place to get an answer though they'll probably want us to use their filter too.

I have never ordered here but I'm interested. The filters with the TAB always pop out of my machine. They DON''T work even tho they say they do work. I have to cut off the tab and cut them down to size and they still pop out. Mine have a plastic mesh on the back. Maybe this is why they pop out. I don't know and would like to find some that work!!! and FIT the machine!!!

This is true for this product, in my experience. I'd been using paper filters for months with my 4-cup coffee maker and decided to get a permanent filter to reduce paper waste. Coffee looked watered down and tasted as such. I'm back to using paper filters.

Hi Miranda, I am a customer who bought this product. I'm not the manufacturer. You should contact them to ask this question. Meantime, they have a nice brief video on their webite that you might find interesting: http://www.coffeekeepers.com/ All the best, Jim

I think it may have something to do with the royalty they have to pay to get their cups to work in Keurig 2.0 brewers. If you notice in the description, it says that they work in the 2.0 brewer now; so surely that means they have the special label that works with the 2.0 brewer now. It's just business, Keurig lost a lot of money from people abandoning their brand coffee for other brands; so now they can at least be paid a royalty for those companies that wish to continue to offer k-cups.

Are you inserting the filter in a plastic filter cup or directly in the machine? We use ours in a filter cup and have never had a problem. They work great with our own ground coffee.

I have not tried, I actually like the permanent filters better. It looks as if you can though, the basket that holds the filter looks very similar to an older Mr. Coffee that I used to have that used paper filters, just deeper. Don't know if that would cause a problem though.

The actual coffee makers are stamped on the bottom with the different model numbers so it is not just packaging and additional k-cups and filters. It could still be the same brewer but they are stamped differently so makes me wonder if there is something else different inside the brewers

First let me start by saying that I did not buy mine through Amazon. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely check Amazon first before I buy anything. It's all about saving a few bucks right? I recently started doing Sam'sClub auction and found this exact machine. I fortunately won the bid and got it for $20 less than Amazon is selling it for. To answer your question though, my order did come with the mug and it did say on the box that it was included. In fact I also received 2 different sizes of reusable gold tone coffee filters in the box. I don't understand why there is a difference between the one listed on Amazon and the one I purchased but apparently there is one. First let me start by saying that I did not buy mine through Amazon.

. I actually use the generic Stop N Shop filters made for 8-12 cup basket type coffee makers. Any basket type permanent filter should work just fine.

I have a Krups which is about one year old and the pot broke. I ordered a replacement pot and a permanent filter. Krups doesn't have eitherand there are no suitable replacement, so now I have a one year old useless Krups.
