Can I use my regular 4 cup coffee filters? I don't want to have to switch to cone filters.

Sure, as long as they're not the "cone" type. I wouldn't use the 8-cup filters as they're too big for the filter basket.

Yes you can, that's what I use. I tried the cone filters and didn't like them.

Cone filters want fit. When you run out. Then get the five cup filtered ones. Get them really cheap on Amazon.

This model uses regular flat bottom filters, I buy the standard eight cup size as they are cheaper and easier to find.

yes, you can fill these filters with any brand coffee. it tends to be a little weaker, just put more grinds but don't overfill!

Yes. You can see into the cup from the bottom of the cone while the coffee is pouring in through the filter. At least you can with the one I received.

4 cup filters. I tried the regular, but sometimes they would fall and coffee grounds would get in the pot.

Any #2 cone filters will work. I figured out that since the mug is larger, I needed to put a little less than 2 scoops for the coffee to taste great. I start with really cold water and microwave it until boiling.

Hi, The piece on the cone that has to fit into your cup is 2 3/4" x 3". Mine fits perfectly into my coffee cup. I measured the inside diameter of my cup and it was exactly 3 inches! Hope that helps. I think they sell a smaller cone also and it would definitely fit. I bought my 4 cup filter cone for making 2-3 cups of coffee when we camp. It works great! Mine is red and I love it. It's easy to see!

You don't really NEED a filter if your coffee is "percolator ground," which is a coarser grind than you would use for an automatic or drip coffee maker. The larger pieces won't go through the holes in the basket. BUT, if you prefer to use a filter or if your coffee is a finer grind, then you can really use any paper filter and cut it to size, as needed.

I just use the regular filters, poke a hole in the center and put the grounds on top. The filter doesn't come all the way up the sides, but it works well enough for me. Any grounds that would get in would sink to the bottom and would be below the spout so I haven't noticed grounds in my coffee. I don't know where to get bigger filters though.

I just measured the bottom where the cup would go, and to ME, it looks like 3 3/4 would be just a little over the limit. It is so close that I cannot in good conscience, say yes. By the way, I found that using a cone shaped filter #4 makes a more clear cup of coffee. The strainer in the bottom lets some grounds through the screen, which probably could benefit from a tighter mesh. This is not my main source of coffee, but a spur of the moment wish for a quick cup. I usually use a 12 cup brewer.Hope this helps.

It uses #4 cone paper filters.It does not take normal basket filters because of it's internal shape.Maybe Russell Hobbs has a basket that fits it but I bought a gold mesh basket filter and it did not fit.It is not the same shape inside as most coffee makers.I have been using paper only and quite happy with it!

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. They fit perfectly in the 4 cup coffee maker that I have, which has a basket verses the cone.

Sure, it's up to you how much ground coffee you put in the filter. You can experiment. We make our morning coffee every day using the Melitta Cone Filter Coffeemaker.

I bought a "standard" size 4 gold filter from Bed Bath Beyond and it just barely fits into the existing brewer basket (where the paper filter would sit). I tried using the gold filter with the existing brewer basket AND without using the removable brewing basket. Without the basket, the coffee drains faster and doesn't steep as long, so could effect coffee taste.

Absolutely, Use whatever coffee you choose. It uses 4.375 inch filters. I buy them at Smart and Final.

I use the regular paper filters, never had a problem (I've never used the permanent kind). The paper filters work great. (the round "Mr Coffee" kind, by the way, not the cone shaped ones)
