Do you still need to use disposable coffee filters even though this model has a re-usable basket filter?

Yes you do. It is a removable basket that "holds" your filter. Without a filter you would have a very messy and chunky pot of coffee. I use the "Pure Brew" brand for a 4-cup coffee maker. They are very inexpensive at Walmart and work great!

No, that us why I bought this model. Just rinse out the reusable basket filter. No grounds go into your coffee.

Yes...not a filter...just a basket holder for a paper filter. I use the Melitta 4 cup filters which can be ordered on Amazon.

Yes, I do. I can just pick up the used filter and throw I in the trash. When you don't use a paper filter some of the coffee grinds stay in the filter and you have to rinse it out in the sink and will clog the drain. So I use the paper filters. Also and my little coffee ot didn't come with a basket filter.

I use paper filters with the basket because if you didn't the coffee grounds would pour through with the coffee. I prefer not to drink the grounds! :)

The instruction booklet lists using a Mr. Coffee 4-cup paper or permanent filter in the replacement basket. So, I would say yes.

Yes. There is a refillable filter basket. You do not always have to use k-cups

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.

Yes, you need to rinse out the filter basket, and make sure it is dry before using again. This is not an issue when we brew a carafe at a time.

Yes - it comes with filter basket, and we also use a paper cone filter - just to prevent grounds from getting into the coffee.

It does not require a filter. It has a removable filter where you place the coffee

No but I have a water filter and only use filtered water to make coffee. Coffee tastes the same as it did 5 years ago when I purchased this model from Amazon. Never had to clean it either.

It comes with a reusable filter and does not need disposable filters, however you can use disposable filters if desired.

Mine does have a removable filter basket, but I still use my organic coffee filters.

Sorry for the late reply, but we are back in town now. This coffee maker uses the basket type filter.

The machine does come with a removable filter for the basket. It is seven kinds of #@&& to clean, so perhaps people buy a spare. I most seriously do not like this machine and I am very sorry I bought it. I should have bought the $15 Capresso grinder and used that with my Cuisinart machine.

You don't really NEED a filter if your coffee is "percolator ground," which is a coarser grind than you would use for an automatic or drip coffee maker. The larger pieces won't go through the holes in the basket. BUT, if you prefer to use a filter or if your coffee is a finer grind, then you can really use any paper filter and cut it to size, as needed.

Not sure what you're asking. Do you need a replacement cone filter for this model? If so, ereplacementparts.com will probably have it. You don't need to use paper filters with this model, but some people use them anyway for easiest cleanup. If this is what you want, depending on where you live, you can order these online as well. Most grocery stores have them where I live. Hope this helps. I like this coffee maker a lot.

of course you can, in fact I never use the permanent filter as I think it is a pain to have to dump the grounds then having to wash the basket out, paper filters in my opinion are better with no mess! but then again there are a lot of people who like the permanent filter basket, I just happen to not be one of them, it is your personal choice, hope this helps.

No filter needed. The inner basket is a filter. I use any coffee that's on sale.

Yes, take out the plastic holding the carbon filter to filter water. Definitely use a filter in the coffee basket when making the coffee.

You do not need coffee filters for this coffee maker. It has a coffee basket which you just put your coffee grinds in.
