Do you need to purchase replacement filters for this press?

i have had this press for about 15 years and just started thinking about replacing the filter. It has held up well to daily use and dishwasher cleaning.

My filters for this press have all been terrible. The one it came with was bent in several places. After a lot of hassle convincing the manufacturer that it was their fault, they shipped me 3 replacements, all of which were also bent on arrival. I have to strain all my coffee through a secondary tea ball to avoid massive quantities of ground coffee in my mug each day.

Mine fell apart at the edges and finding a replacement has been more difficult than I expected.

I washed it and used it without a filter right out of the box. The press itself filtered most of the grounds very well. Be careful of how much you grind your beans if you are using whole beans.

We've had the press for a year now and the screen is still working just fine. I've had inquiries about where to buy replacement screens, so I'm sure some people have had problems. I wash mine by hand and it still looks brand-new after almost a year's daily use.

No. The unit uses the standard press with the mesh filter. You can wash it with your other dishes. Works quite well for me.

No.there are cartridges that need to be replaced but if you use filtered or distilled water you do not absolutely have to use those cartridges

This maker doesnt come with a permanent filter. I have seen them available but have never used them.

I assume your asking if the filter needed to be replaced and the answer is no. That said, after several weeks of continuous operation there was more dust on the outside of the unit than the filter. I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone.

What cartridge do you change. Or do you change a filter? Where can I buy them?

They do not REQUIRE the paper filters, however, you do get a very small amount of coffee "debris" in the bottom of your cup, which is so small it is not a problem for either my husband or myself. I have not tried using them for anything other than coffee. Hopefully, someone else can answer your question concerning the other items.

No filters. Yes, grounds remain in cup at bottom, held there by press. Fabulous mug/press!

I believe the filter you need (if you wish to use one) is called the "Basket Filter." I know the unit comes with it's own metal filter but I find them messy to empty and clean, and I also believe that the paper filters contribute to a better tasting brew.

Nope, Ive now had mine for quite a while and everything is working just fine. No filters needed.

I believe that it doesnt need replacement filters. however, i would recommend u buy another more sturdy brand. this one was a very cheap made in china product which was the reason I returned it . In addition, when it arrived, the charger was missing. when i returned it, they only gave me half the money back, so needless to say, I am a disgruntled, unsatisfied customer.

No, no filter is required. However, mine came broken... I do not recommend.

No, they don't require them. I use the paper filters just because I'm used to my coffee that way.

It comes with all the filters you need. It says they will last for 6 months. Then I believe you will have to order the replacements.

On some presses you may need to change the ram. If your press doesn't have the priming ram then buy the $40 kit

of course filters need to be replaced. try reading the description of item before asking such rediculous questions.

Yes, there is another filter you can purchase for it. I did, and have not had to use it yet.

The newer models dont require filter replacement. Some of the older ones we sold do have optional ones. Historically they did not use filters on these, but modern drinkers don't want grounds in the bottom of the cup.The easiest way though is to just use some fine cheesecloth which you can put around the siphoning piece if you like
