cone or flat filter? And howlong to brew 12 cups?

Cone. I'd say somewhere in between the previous two answers, about ten minutes. Brews a nice pot of coffee.

Cone. I'd guess about 15 min and very quiet compared to our last one. We like it.

It uses a cone filter, paper or permanent type. Cuisinart offers a GTF Gold Tone Filter on amazon. Perk time 3-4 minutes. Its a nice pot.

#4 filter is for a coffee maker that makes 8 -12 cups of coffee while the #2 filter is used for 2-6 cups electric & 1 cup non-electric cone coffee makers.

This cone fits our 12-cup Gevalia coffee maker just fine. Fit isn't the problem with us; the taste is. We think the paper cones make better tasting coffee.

We use paper filters instead of the mesh basket. Take the mesh basket out and use the paper filters as you would with a "conventional" coffee maker. It seems to brew faster and clean up is much quicker.

I have the 12-cup, so I am not sure. The filter is very fine, which makes for better brewing, but may lead to occasional overflow.

I use Costco columbian, which I assume is a regular grind, although I don't think it would matter much. The coffee comes out of a small hole in the cone. I ordered a package of #2 Melita filters, but found that the Costco filters could be easily cut to fit the cones.

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.

You can always measure what you put in the filter for brewing. I use 1/8 cup coffee for every 2cups (as marked on the carafe) of water.

The regular 1-4 cup round filters. Cram it in, fold the edges out, add coffee,. Works great, no grounds in your coffee.

Thanks for the info, I'll give that brand a try next. Do report back how the pod maker goes, I read online about people just saying to use a standard filter and then trim the top and fold it over and wet it, I tried but in order to get a tight enough fold I couldn't use enough grounds to get a decent cup, and using enough grounds meant it wouldn't fit in the chamber right.

I always use the permanent filter... try it without, perhaps a small cone filter would work just as well..love my PHY. It looks beautiful, and makes a small amount of coffee,as I am the only coffee drinker in this house.

I use regular coffee. Be sure not to over fill the filter or else your machine will make a mess.

I buy the No.4 cone coffee filters - they are slightly too tall so I just fold them over (along the seam) at the bottom. Works like a charm. I do not buy the band name, generic are just fine.

I'm guessing you are writing about the filter for the coffee grounds. Any 12-cup size round filter paper will be fine. from long beach

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 buy #4 cone shaped filters at the grocery store. Krups KM1010 a good basic coffeemaker. We're satisfied customers.

We run a 4 cup brew every morning. There's a notch for 2 cups as well, so I'm assuming you could very well do a 3 cup brew if you needed to.
