If you buy your own paper filters at the store, is there a certain size to get? I never had the cone-shaped filters before. The manual doesn't say.

I've seen both large and small at the grocery store. The larger size is the correct size for this coffee pot.

I use the #4 Melitta filters and also bought other #4 filters. So I think the magic number is 4.

Good Question! You would need to purchase #4 cone style coffee filters (for 8-12 cup coffee makers). I hope that you find this information helpful.

Some say 1 to 4 cops. Other say all the way up to 12 cops. The small size will work fine up to eight cops. If you are doing more, it probably is best to use the larger size.

It fits my whole house filter. On dimensions, I don't have those right at the moment and the filter is installed at a location where I don't go too much. I purchased as a property management item and don't have them readily available, sorry. They did fit for what I have.

I get the Melitta #1 cone filters on Subscribe & Save. The permanent filter lets a bit of fine residue through. I have used a #2, but it's a little too big. Put the $1 cone inside the permanent filter and it works great.

I use the 8-12 cup basket style filters. They fit just fine, but I do have to cut a slit in the center of the filter in order for it to fit over the percolating stem. It just takes a second to do with a pair of scissors. I cut a small X shape and thats all there is to it.

It's #4 size, round at the top and tapering to a narrow line at the bottom -- just like the #4 paper filter.BTW, I've been using this for years now and it works really great. I've never had any problems with it.

Cone shaped filters are the only ones that will work correctly. Check the Chemex site for the correct size.

You can use other filters ... just so they are the cone shaped filters; however more Melitta filters are available in this size ... but I am using a Kroger filter at the moment.

Cone filters. But I dont use them. The mesh filter works great for me. When it wears out I will switch to the # 4 paper filters.

Get the Simple Cup filters. They fit good and I use them all the time. I buy the box of 300. Got to get another box. They are thinner than the Melitta Java Jig filters. Cheaper though and work great in the MyCafe cups. I use them all the time. I will get 2 boxes this time.

I am a fan of paper filters -- flat bottom 8-12 cup filters work with this Bunn. I guess you could use the gold, reusable, flat bottom filter, too. I just prefer the paper ones.

This is a STANDARD 2# COFFEE FILTER. If you buy 2# paper filters for your coffee maker, this would fit correctly. I use a pour-over that requires a 2# size paper filter but prefer 4# because it prevents accidentally getting grounds in your cup.

You can use any #2 or #4 cone filters, that you can get at the local grocery store. I bought #4 brew-rite from my local WalMart. The reason I bought #4 size is because it fits above the cone and allows you to put more coffee and water without worrying if it is going to run over. I did find that you also need to use boiling hot water if you want your coffee to come out with the right flavor/concistancy.

permanent filters are just another big mess to clean up. Stick with the paper. If its the expensive cone shaped filters your trying to avoid, stick a regular basket type filter in the melita cone. it will work.

I haven't been able to find a gold-tone filter that fits. I tried #4 and #2 and neither fit. I'm using paper filters. Let me know if you get a positive answer please.

Using it in a Gevalia Model # XCC-12. The recommended filters are Gevalia No. 4 cone shaped paper filters. Had been using the Melitta number 4 paper filters. Good replace for the paper filters.
