Do you still need a paper filter insert?

No the mash on the filter is very fine. You don't need a filter but if you wanted to use one you could but I don't know why you would.

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.

I use a paper filter! To me you need one, I don't get that permanent filter term they use. You need a filter!

Just the filter is enough. I use only paper filters (without the "real" filter), I don't know why! I use either Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. Enjoy! It is a great little coffee maker.

You are getting the paper filters for the device. The are just like the OEM filters.

Melissa, you do not have to put the coffee in a paper filter, although I suspect that may make cleanup somewhat easier. I would think the purpose of buying this item would be to avoid the high cost of the K-Cups. Adding a paper filter will probably increase the cost of each brew by 10 cents. Some people may feel the cost is worth it, but the filter is definitely not necessary. Enjoy!

No, paper filters are not needed, the stainless steel basket that holds the coffee works well without a paper filter. I suppose if you used a real fine grind you might need a filter, but I have been using mine for 5 years and never had a problem.

For Yes I need to put paper filter because some of the coffee is not filter from the hole and so the coffee you drink have coffee fiber on it, but its up to you weather u like to put the paper filter or not its ok by me because I use it with or without the paper filter

The filter basket (the plastic basket that holds either a disposable paper filter or a permanent filter) is included, as is a filter disk. Paper filters are easy to find, and I think I recall that 1 was included. The permanent filters work well, and may be worth the few extra $.

see my comments on this product HOW NOT HAVE TO BUY PAPER FILTERS -unit has two 'filters' one fine metal mesh and other is a paper have to replace filter -----you can avoid replacing paper filters if just punch out original paper filter - replace with cut to fit piece of linen and then place back bracket with fine wire mesh filter - for me it works great , when linen dirty wash dry and place back in machine - NO MORE PAPER FILTERS TO PURCHASE ( if you do replace filters you are basically paying for a new unit with filters every year).

I bought the permanent filter, I prerer it. You could use normal paper basket filters as well.

Yes, either paper filters as standard or Krups offer a metal filter as an optional extra. We chose the permanent metal filter to avoid the mess around endless paper filters.

This unit has a removable basket which holds the paper or permanent filter. The basket should be easily removable. This model does not include a permanent filter.

NO. You need to buy separately, there are various types of filter for you to choose.

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

Absolutely... I personally don't like using paper, but it is much easier For cleaning. Leave the gold filter in place, won't hurt, then just a quick rinse.

No, no filter is required. However, mine came broken... I do not recommend.
