Can you confirm that coffee filters are needed (I assume so)? If yes, can a reusable one be used?

No. It's a standard percolator coffee pot with tiny holes in the coffee ground basket, just use coarse ground coffee and there's no need for filters. (Like coffee pots in the 50's)

Yes. I assume you could use a reusable filter, but it naturally requires cone-shaped, paper filters.

This coffee maker is equipped with it's own reusable filter which works wonderfully. Just empty used coffee grinds and run the filter under warm water, dry and it's ready for your next use!

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.

You can get a separate filter basket (it's a metal mesh filter, no paper involved) and put your own coffee in that. To me, it's never as satisfying as the pods, however.

I use paper towels to scrap the clogged grounds from the filter when I need to use it again - I have two filter cups to fill up with my decaffeinated coffee in the mornings after breakfast daily! Good luck in cleaning yours thoroughly!!

I just buy Folgers or Maxwell House or whatever Ground coffee. There is a metal filter basket. I do not buy the paper filters but there are some available, I just throw the coffee out when it gets to the dregs.

Yes, you can. You don't need any specific brand filter, but you need a cone filter to keep the coffee out of the carafe.

I buy the cheapest ones that are available. I can usually find 200 for a dollar. All of the normal round coffee filters can be used. I even have a couple of "baskets" that came with other coffee makers that work in it. [and the round filters can be used for cleaning purposes around the house.]

no filters, just a basket. i wrap coffee grounds in paper filters like big tea bags. easy clean-up. then i compost the grounds, paper filters and all.

Yes, or you can use it in a drip-style coffee pot like Mr. Coffee. In this case, you don't need to use a filter.

Yes, I do. I can just pick up the used filter and throw I in the trash. When you don't use a paper filter some of the coffee grinds stay in the filter and you have to rinse it out in the sink and will clog the drain. So I use the paper filters. Also and my little coffee ot didn't come with a basket filter.

Yes, you can by buying the reusable k-cup filters. We use them all the time and they work.

Also, there are paper filters that you can use to put your own coffee into. Then throw the filters away.

We use two different filters. One is a large paper filter that we put the coffee in and only use that one once. The other filter fits in the bottom of the brewing container. We probably have used that one 12 times and have not replacced it. Be sure and rinse it out after each use. Just follow the instructions for its care.

Yes but I use a paper filter in my reusable cup but I do not use Keurig! I bought from ECCO and also at Bed Bath and Beyong and TJ Maxx. much better than Keurigs. I love this coffee!

Yes both the reusable filters and pots are dishwasher save. Also, you can remove the filter holders and wash them in the dishwasher. The pots are actually better than most pots that come with coffee makers. They spill far less than others we have had. The only draw back, and it is not really bad, is the reusable filters leave an oily sediment in the bottom of the pot. I have started using the paper filters inside the reusable ones. It has eliminated the sediment and it is easier to get rid of the grounds. Hope this helps. Oh, we would buy this one again.
