The unit itself does not have a filter. However, the unit accepts "pods" such as those of Senseo that don't require filters. These filters are also highly economic, as they have a very low cost

Yes, we use a cone with Melita filters; shortly after we bought it, however, we got a cone that was meant for carafes so we did not have to hold the filter in place as we poured, which regular Meita filters required. .

The gold filter is included, I also use the paper filters, less mess to clean.

This machine comes with one gold permanent filter that you rinse and reuse, alternatively, cone shaped paper filters are an option. You can stock up before you go, however; I have routinely found these filters across Europe, Mid east, North Africa, Asia and Austarlia

Allison, Yes it does come with the filter. I had it for a month or so and it stopped working. I had to get a refund. Not very good. My advise don't get it.

Hello, when I purchased this about 5 (maybe more) years ago, it came with everything. There was a permanent gold-tone filter which should last as long or longer than the machine...so don't replace it because the ones sold as replacement do not fit it well. So this coffee machine comes with the glass carafe, gold-tone filter. All you need to purchase is coffee. It is a good machine, but should be descaled occasionally. I never had any problems with the machine except my of neglect of not descaling at least once every 3 - 4 months.

Does not come with a filter, the manufacturers recommend a disposable paper one as the gold ones can get clogged and corroded supposedly.

I don't think that a filter came with the coffee maker. I always us the #4 paper cone filters.Ed Roth

I believe they are called come shape filters. However it come with a reusable filter basket that works great...

It does not. I bought the Cuisinart Gold Tone Filter along with it and it works great.

Yes, we do. Pages 4-5 of the owner's manual says that "#4 cone-shaped filters must be used." We've been using ours for about 6 wks. with the paper filters and have had no problems.

Hi - Yes, when I ordered mine, it came with the filter - everything I needed to replace the old unit. I hope this information is helpful!

The filter you use makes a huge difference, I wouldn't use a metal filter with a cone. Use a burr grinder on the finest setting, almost powder. (Personally I always use Melitta filters, they are worth the extra cost. Others seem to flow too fast or too slow.)

Ileana, this comes with a built-in gold mesh filter. Works great! Love the machine.

Yes. We used a gold filter as we always have. This was the worst coffee maker I ever purchased. It never once made a decent cup of coffee. I threw it out after 3 months. A shame since it looked so nice.
