I have a french press with a diameter of 3 1/8". Can an oversized filter screen (4") be used for this? Or do you know where one can be found?

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

Size 4 filter don't know dimensions. My favorite way to make coffee specially with fresh grinded beans. It's pretty big, I make big mug of coffee. I had size 2 first this is much better. I don't even use my kuerig anymore.

I am sorry, I cannot answer your question. I only use the Melitta coffee brewer, and am not familiar with those of your experience. I have no idea of my measurements would aid you in your selection of a filter for your Hamilton Beach maker. Good luck.

Gee I'm not sure is there a holder for filters inside the unit? if so you could try one and see if it fits otherwise I would contact Cuisinart to find out what works.

According to manufacture, it works for all coffee pots that take a "standard size" paper filter. You won't be disappointed. I absolutely love mine!

I suggest visiting the Cuisinart web site to see which item they recommend as a replacement. My coffee maker had two removable pieces, one that was a basket that holds the coffee in a paper filter, and the other directed the water to the cup. The basket fit into the other piece. The basket broke and for my coffee maker (Two 2 Go), the GTF-4 basket fit perfectly. I am able to use it with paper filters, even though I don't have to (easier cleanup).

The answer is yes. I have a French press of the same dimensions (3.75 by 6.5) and the Grosche 34 fl. oz. works fine. I think the glass might be a tiny fraction of a centimeter thicker, as the presser seems to fit slightly tighter, but that will probably make it a little more durable.

Not really unless I could see the basket that holds this filter. Some baskets are not round like the one I bought. Some kind of taper in towards the bottom. My Mr coffee has the round basket which is approximately 4 or so inches high. If yours is not tapered and as high as mine then it probably would fit.

I had the same problem. These filters are too wide to replace the "5" filters that are actually 4"3/8. Your website needs to point this out. Customers, read the small print.When I called to return, I was told I had to pay the shipping. Post office wanted $60 to return my $100 purchase! I donated them to Habitat for Humanity Restore.When i called

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.

Not recommended. This type of filter is made for a drip brew coffee machine with hot water cascading down to dissolve the coffee grounds. You're better off with a French press or manual coffee maker. Google this for more detailed info.

Well, not exactly - it's a bit too small but it does work if you're making less than 8 cups. Any more than that and the grounds will probably overflow the filter - at least that's what happened to me. I use paper filters when I'm brewing 8 cups or more.

I use a 8-12 cup size filter and that works, might also be the same size as a regular #4 filter. Just punch a small hole on the middle. :)

I haven't, but I imagine you could cut a regular coffee filter down, or use a paper towel cut to size. I've done that with regular pots when I've run out filters. It will be worth a try

I actually havent found a permanent filter large enough but, a size 4 filter is about a half inch short and works fine. Infact I order mine from Amazon, its the largest one they sell, think it was less than $5.Hope this helped

I believe the Bodum mesh fits the 4, 6, or 8 cup french press, I've replaced my Thermos with the bodum filter and had no problems so far. When I was researching a replacement I measured the old Thermos to be about 4 inches in diameter.
