Does the drip side come w/ a reusable coffee filter? If not, which one fits this model?

You have to buy the filters. We buy number 4 coffee filters, shaped like a cone.

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.

No, the filter only fits into the EZ-cup device. It works beautifully and is so easy to clean up and is dishwasher safe (top rack). The device that uses the filters has a spring at the bottom that presses the grounds (coffee, tea, herbs) up to fill the space and forces the water completely through the grounds. I have used mine for 2 years, at least twice a day and it's still like new. I couldn't be happier with my savings on coffee and the ability to use my favorites brands and flavors. Hope that helps.

I don't know, I think it is very similar but I definitely recommend a drip coffee maker over a keurig. I'd take a $19.95 drip unit from the cheap crap store over this thing.

These models use cone filters. I have the 10-cup model and it uses a #4 cone filter, but also comes with a reusable filter. I'm assuming the 5-cup model comes with a reusable filter as well.

No...I'm in the same situation and have not found a reusable yet. It's an outstanding model though, great cup of coffee.

Yes, there is. It is located on the inside of the handle, so you can't see it in the picture. Love my percolator! Switch from the "traditional" drip back to the classic percolator. Coffee tastes great!

Just the dripper. But I love mine. I bought filters on Amazon and they are really good. No leakage. 100 for five bucks.

I don't think you can use another filter on this drip coffee maker. The special filter snaps in and is made especially for the area where coffee drips through. However, I will try using a different filter to see if it works.

Thank you for you answer. Do you have one of those coffee brewers that fit the filter?

The Melitte 64008 Red Ready Joe has only one drip hole in the bottom and is the usual size hole for drip makers. The permanent gold mesh #2 filter fits inside a bit smaller, not snug. The white ceramic holder (I can't remember what it's called but I got it too from Amazon), has 4 holes; the gold mesh #2 filter fits inside about the same as the red plastic; however, I like it better and it didn't cost much more. Unfortunately, you can't see how much water you're pouring into the cup as it has no see-through spaces in the bottom. I still like it better.

Yes - it comes with filter basket, and we also use a paper cone filter - just to prevent grounds from getting into the coffee.

Does it even have a filter? I know it has a filter for the coffee but does it have another somewhere and where?

no it does not. i use paper filters that cost about one dollar for one hundred. you may need these if you use common coffee because the grind is typically more suitable for drip method.

Does the single serve side have a smaller sizer filter? Can you put a regular coffee cup there without it being too far away and splashing? Like a 12oz. Cofee cup. Or the ones used on the sitcom Friends at Central Perk?

Yes - Although it comes with a reusable mesh filter, I don't like those. I use a #2 cone style coffee filter and just fold it over the filter holder. Works PERFECTLY.

Filter isall one piece. So I can't see there being any other additional parts. The carafe is GREAT. keeps coffee very hot for hours. I love mine
