Can you use store bought paper filters?

you would have to put a hole in the center and insert it down the shaft, inside the metal basket. I have a friend that does this, but I see no real advantage to this. I just put my grounds in a container after use, and use for compost.

I think so. No need if you have a burr grinder of your own or have it ground at store

I stopped using filters and pour it through a reusable mesh filter to get rid of what few grounds are in the brew. I've been doing this for a year.

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.

Yes but this machine works and has such a clean fit I don't think you'll need them

Yes, but make sure you're using the round filters made for percolator baskets, obviously. Drip coffee filters won't work.

No. You do not need to buy the permanent filter. Regular paper filters will work just as well. In fact, I purchased the permanent filter separately.

Yes, but you still need to buy paper filters. Also included is a little water filter.

Yes, I do believe there are paper filters but I've only used the cloth filter.

We use the paper filters inside the gold mesh filters but you can use them either way.

It comes with a few paper filters. I ordered a permanent filter to accompany it that cost under $4.

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.

I bought a Krups perm filter at Bed, Bath and Beyond. If they don't have it at the store they can prob order it.

Yes, there are a couple paper filters that come with the vacuum; after that you can purchase them on Amazon.com. They are a tad delicate, but I've managed to make each one last through several cleanings.

I am not sure paper filters would work because it has a percolator tube that comes up through the basket. The filter would have to have a hole in it. I recommend buying course ground coffee instead.

Yes, but it is easy to do so. If you use paper filters it would be even easier.

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.

Yes, but you have to buy a filter/adapter. Available at grocery store, but cheaper on-line.

It uses paper filters in a cone basket but, you can get reusable wire basket like I did. Get one at Bed, Bath, and beyond. It works fine!

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.
