can you use paper filters with this coffee maker instead of the permanent one that comes with it

Yes, I personally use a melita filter inside gold one and it works great at keeping the extra fine grounds out of your pot.

No, the unit brews coffee so fast usually within six minutes and by itself it occasionally fills the basket getting coffee everywhere. Adding the paper will slow the flow resulting in a flood on your counter. Please do not ignore the bad reviews on this maker like I did. You'll wind up with buyers remorse very quickly as it's beauty does not last. All the open seams allow stains and coffee grinds to get everywhere inside this unit where you cannot clean.

hello there,as a matter of fact, i do use paper filters, in order to acquire stronger coffee. but be careful not to fully load water, since it will not be able to brew it (paper filter delays brewing). usually i fill it with 2-4 cups of water and it brews o.k. give it a try and i am at your disposition for any further information. thanks a lot, christina mavraganis.

We use a paper filter in ours. We had some left over from before. They are just like the ones used in a regular Mr. Coffee, but one size bigger; fold in quarters, cut off tip and it fits over the percolator tip. The last ones I purchased were at WalMart, but I have not purchased any in the last year. The holes in the basket filter are quite small, you could try it without the paper filter, but you will likely have some grounds left in the bottom of the pot.

No permanent filter. I'm actually using the disaposable kind, though because they're made for the 4-cup, they're a little small for this coffee maker. 100-Count Coffee Filter 4 Cup

Yes, it gives you a small amount of paper filters. You will have to buy new paper filters later on. I love this coffee maker because it's easy to clean inside out. The powered coffee maker is difficulty to wash inside and you have to plug in.

You can use paper filters but you don't need to. The stainless drum has fine holes in it that strain the juice just fine. This juicer is wonderful, but takes a lot of cleanup.

Yes paper filters, unfortunately they don't have a reusable filter that fits this particular model.

of course you can, in fact I never use the permanent filter as I think it is a pain to have to dump the grounds then having to wash the basket out, paper filters in my opinion are better with no mess! but then again there are a lot of people who like the permanent filter basket, I just happen to not be one of them, it is your personal choice, 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!

Yes, you can use disposable paper filters. I haven't tried using the disposable filters when making two travel cups at once. I use the paper filters that you can get at the dollar store. I really love this coffee maker!

Yes, either paper filters as standard or Krups offer a metal filter as an optional extra. We chose the permanent metal filter to avoid the mess around endless paper filters.

This does take paper filters. However, after using I found that the insulation of the pot was poor. Coffee was not hot when pouring even the first cup. Disappointed in this coffee maker & disposed of it

Yes, I use paper filters all the time. I prefer to throw away the paper filters with the old coffee grinds instead of cleaning the gold mesh filter after every use.

We bought this sometime ago. The answer is yes, you can use a paper filter and your own coffee. It is a little awkward and you have to be sure to not use too much coffee, but it works. We haven't found filters to fit the little basket, so we cut the bigger ones to size. We aren't coffee drinkers so we only use it for company and it works fine for us. If you would be using it daily I think you can purchase the necessary basket and filter. But the machine works great and we use it at least once or twice a month every month and January through March we use it daily.

No permanent filter. I use an old 5 cup filter which came from a pot I had before.

The machine has a built in permanent filter; however, the coffee tastes better if you use a standard #2 filter instead.

You can use it either way. If you do not use a paper filter it has a few grounds in the coffee but still tastes great.

There is no paper filter made for it. The opening is so large that most any paper filter would fall down into the coffee. You can try a normal 8-12 cup flat bottom filter and folding it over the edges to see it it stays put. Try a rubber band if not. But it would be much easier to just buy a regular dripper with paper filters than to jury rig some filter arrangement on the Hario. BTW if you think the cloth filter is "too much work" you're probably doing more work than you need to.
