does the coffee go into the filter part, so you can lift out the grounds when done, or do you still have to clean the grounds out of the thing?

the force of the water going thru pushes the paper filter down some, so the grounds still have to be removed.

The filter goes between the case (green) and the frame (brown) and does hold the grounds. To clean, I remove the frame with lid from the unit over the sink, then shake the filter and remaining grounds into the trash. I rinse the frame while pushing the lid out from the inside in the sink along with the case. Takes longer to explain than do. No filter screens to clean.

The design comes as 2 plastic parts plus a lid. The inner part is black and the outer part is green. You turn the black part upside down and place a paper filter on it. Then you slip the green cup over that. Then you flip it over, fill it with grounds, then put the lid on it. After usage, you take the lid off. From that point onwards, it's a little messy. We generally turn it upside down and slip the green part off of the black part then push the filter and grounds out. That part is messy because some of the grounds will still be stuck to the black plastic part. We usually tape it until most comes out, then rinse everything off. Then we wash it all for the next day.

The coffee does go in the filter part and you can easily push it out of the holder along with any grounds.

You can choose to use the filter however it works without itt, just a bit of coffee ground is found in the bottom

I'm not sure, because I did not try it. I have ground my coffee more than usual, and it seemed okay, but over the long term, it might gather inside the filter. Try it. If it seems to get clogged, then switch to a coarser grind.

Yes, I would push the filter down but the coffee grounds would be packed at the lid when finished brewing. But since I got then I don't have grounds in my coffee. I'm just bummed, keurig brewer stopped heating the water after I got my second order of these.

Susan, if your coffee is ground very fine, you might want to use the filter. I don't use, although with a different grind I might want to to avoid grounds in the coffee dispensed.

I assume that you actually put the ground coffee into the water reservoir, so just turn the machine upside-down to remove as much as possible, then rinse the reservoir out with water.

There is a reservoir that holds the brewed coffee. It comes out. All you have to do is remove it, empty and rinse. Put back in and brew another pot. Really easy.

Of course not! That is the whole point of getting the permanent filter. LOL You just dump the used coffee grounds out of this filter and then rinse the filter and put back in the coffeemaker for next use. It works great! Love it.

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.

Cleaning the Aeropress is simple: once the water has been pressed through the coffee and out of the cylinder, all that is necessary is to push the used coffee out of the cylinder in the same way that the water had been pressed. You must remove the plastic filter holder, of course. The used coffee grinds are pushed through and into the garbage or recycling bag. All that is necessary then is to rinse all of the parts of the Aeropress to remove any lingering grinds. The press is dishwasher safe, so I put it through the dishwashing cycle once a week or so. If you haven't tried Aeropress coffee, you are in for a treat.

I am no coffee expert, making coffee seldom. I followed the directions for pouring a little water on top of the ground and letting them swell first before s.l.o.w.l.y pouring in the rest of the water. This resulted in coffee sticking to the sides of the screen, which seems to filter pretty well. With what I think is medium grind, a little sediment gets in, but it's not much. I think more comes through if you pour the water faster.

It has its own built in filter that you easily remove, dump the grounds and rinse/wash out and replace. My husband uses coffee bags (like a tea bag), so doesn't even have the grounds to dump. He loves this coffee maker!

Yes, I cut a hole in the middle of a coffee filter and place in the coffee holder. It saves a lot of grounds getting into the coffee.

Clean it right after you brew your coffee. Don't let it sit in the brewer. I have no problem clean the filter. I love my mini Mr. Coffee brewer and permanent filter!�

A couple rinses of the plunger and container to get rid of the coffee grounds is obviously required. I also recommend a quick wipe of the inside of the container afterwards to ensure that there is no coffee stains or "rings" remaining.

They go in the little plastic holder that came with the coffee maker. It twists apart and the filter goes between the two pieces and they snap back together. It sits right over the coffee grounds, resting on the edge. If you don't have the filter holder, you'll have to try and get that or you can't use these. Hope this helps.

We have used a paper filter for this but I don't like doing that because I think it takes the oil out of the coffee and makes it taste bland. We just use a small round wire strainer set over the cup to catch any grounds that have escaped the basket. The answer is no you don't need any kind of additional filter.
