The box show tell you which coffee maker the filters fit. You can retro-fit a large filter for a smaller pot but will have a mess if you try to use a filter for a small pot in a larger coffee maker.

I use Melita single serve coffee filters for Javajig. They are not reusable and tiny little paper filters like the big ones used is large coffee makers for ground coffee. I find it much easier to dump out and it does catch most of the grounds. I found at grocery store a small red & green box of 60 filters and they have them on Amazon. I've also used the paper filters people use who make their own coffee pods and they are on amazon as well and called Coffee Pod Replacement filters by Easy Pack. They are a little paper filter with a connected lid that opens and closes. I have found both these type of paper filters work great for ground coffee in the Bunn My Caf MCU. I use both types .

I use a flat bottom ( 3 1/4" ) paper filter 8 - 12 cup with no problem of ground spill over. The brand is Brew Rite filter, USA made.

This coffee maker uses 4 cup basket style paper filters. It is also compatible with the Mr. Coffee permanent filter, part number 6659, that is available directly through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Coffee-Permanent-include-handle/dp/B000WMTBD8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405093150&sr=8-1&keywords=6659

You should purchase extra coffee filters for it, as it only comes with about 4 paper filters. I like the paper ones, instead of getting the lining. They are from Amazon also. I purchased the "Brew Rite" for 4 cup, 200 count filters. Even making a latte every day, that will last quite a while.

I use the small basket filters (200 pack of Melitta) which fit most 8-12 cup coffee makers...this do the job for me...still enjoying this coffee maker quite a lot after six months....

This machine uses the 8-12 cup filter size. If you use the smaller (lower) 2-4 cup size and make more then four cups, the grounds will overflow the filter and end up in the carafe.

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!

We use the Bunn paper filters, 2-3/4"H x 3" at base. Since we drink a lot of coffee, we bought the Bunn Coffee And Tea Filters CASE_12 from Amazon. It contains 12 boxes of 100 filters each. Although, not eligible for Amazon Prime; it ships from and sold by Fat Boy Tools with free shipping.

Hi, I'm using paper filters from Costco because my that's what my wife got me when she gave me this as a gift. We have a Kenmore under the counter water filter for drinking water which I also use for making coffee. I believe a quality, good tasting, not distilled, water is important. I also find that I need less coffee than other coffee makers for this coffee maker. I like a fairly strong dark brew, and 9 table spoons of freshly ground Starbucks for a full 8 cup pot works well.

I have a 4 cup plain ole mr. Coffee maker. The 4 cup filter works fine. If you use a 4 cup basket filter, it should fit and work. I feel my coffee tastes better, and I am not paying for all those paper filters

If you mean the cone shaped Melita type filter, then no those will not work with this. While it is touted as having a "commercial grade permanent basket filter" so no paper filter is required note that it will accept a standard 8-12 Cup basket filter such as is used on Mr. Coffee, Black & Decker etc. The Bunn sized basket filters are too big. Just a regular Mr. Coffee sized one will work. On mine I get too much sediment using just the permanent filter, your results may vary depending on the grind used. With the paper filter lining the permanent filter inside it makes cleaning the basket much easier also. It is a great coffee maker and makes an outstanding brew. Next best thing to a commercial Bunn. In fact it has features a Bunn Commercial Pour-Over doesn't and uses tons less electricity.

No, you can use any brand of filter that fits....however, the filter is slightly deeper than the Mr. Coffee, etc., size, so it would be the size larger than that. We bought a re-usable filter that we use most of the time, but I found Bunn filters at my local Ace Hardware on sale, and bought a bunch of them as well. FWIW, I'd buy the Bunn again. Makes great coffee.....fast.

Hi Kent, Thanks for your interest, but I would not advise to use an oversize filter screen for a smaller diameter french press. The strategic folds & impressions in the screen will not be utilized effectively to keep the grounds out completely. I am not familiar with that size french press so cannot make any suggestions. Sorry, best of luck in finding what you need =) Team Idylc Homes

These disk filters will fit Mr. Coffee models that are 8, 10, 12, and 14 cup. My Mr. Coffee is a 12 cup and the disk filters fit just fine. I hope this helps.

I use a filter that is made for the basket. Look for them at Giant if you have one,but Amazon also sells them. Look for Mallitta Wrap Around Filters or Brew Rite Wrap Around Filters. These fit in the basket with a little adjusting and after putting your grounds( I recommend using a spoon to push grounds down) in, you just fold over the corners. They have a hole in the bottom and on the four corners to fold over the grounds. It takes a few times to master, but it is worth it, because I have no problem with grounds in my coffee.

I have the large clever coffee dripper and it uses the #4 filters. I love it!
