How wide is the opening? I would like to place a cone-filter that is designed for use with 4.5 inch diameter cups on this to make coffee.

I gave it to my mom so I don't have it anymore. It's not 4.5inxh diameter though... Maybe a 3inch

I don't think it's designed for that, but it might work. The lid has sort of a lip that makes it look more like the letter "D" than "O", if that makes any sense, so the opening of the pot itself, which I love, has one flat side. So with practice and patience, it could work...

The opening for my filter is 16 inches vertically and 5 1/4 wide. Filter size is 16x5 so I think you need a different filter.

There is 5" clearance, so it would accommodate a cup just under 5 inches, maybe 4 1/2 to 4 3/4 inches tall.

Difficult to answer your question with out knowing the width and depth of the Mr. Coffee filter. However, our coffee pot has a basket width of 5 inches and the depth is 3 1/4 inches but there must be a lip at the top of the Mr Coffee filter to keep it from falling down. We love our coffee pot and Helen, you can't go wrong buying it especially because of the price. It still works perfectly and is very fast.

diameter of disc is 4 in. problem that made this unusable (and a waste of money) for me was that the central projections are ~2.5 x 2.7 in (and extend ~1.3 in down below the disc), so could not fit into the opening of my carafe. hope this is helpful

The opening in 4 inches in diameter. You will have to be the judge on this issue.

I would not recommend it for that. The way the thing is designed, it would not seat properly into a 2.75" opening .. but you could do it if you held it up yourself. I have two of these, but if I had to do it over again, I'd choose the Melitta or a ceramic one from Starbucks. Both of those only have a single drip hole for slower drip and greater ground saturation, which is what you want for a great cup of coffee. This one has two holes .. which lets the water drip through too fast, in my opinion.

I have the Cilio Porcelain No. 2 Filter which uses No. 2 cone filters. I works great with 3 1/2" diameter mugs and works with slightly larger and smaller mugs also. A No. 4 filter holder is really big and unstable (top-heavy) on top of most mugs. Only get the No. 4 filter holder if you need to brew for 2 people at once into a larger container.

The filters are 9 inches square with holes in each corner - diagonally 10 inches. The filters will fit and would safely hold at least 3 scoops of coffee.Barbara

The product calls for #2 cone so it should. When we ordered ours we had #4 cone from our previous coffee maker and didn't realize it would call for a different size. Since we had a ton of #4 filters we just trimmed them.

It fits like a #2 filter. I use it in my dual cup coffee maker. The two very large cups are the equivalent of a 4 cup coffee maker. To recap, its a #2 filter equivalent.

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.

Melitta #4 Cone Coffee filters (or equivalent) fit perfectly. Diameter at the top is 5.0" inside; about 5.25" outside; height = 4.0". How much liquid would fit into the funnel? Going downward from one outside top edge it reads 4 ... 3 ... 2. 4 cups?? We have a ceramic one (different brand, different shape) but purchased this plastic one for use while camping. Works great for making 1-2 mugs of coffee at a time.

The filter has a cylindrical shape. Since it is for a single cup of coffee I think the shape is just fine. It allows the water to drip through the coffee and the entire batch of grounds gets wet so I believe it allows the water to drip through at a slow enough pace that it gets full flavor from the coffee. If you want a stronger cup then adjust the amount of grounds you use until you get it the way you want.

I am not sure what's the size of 4 cup carafe... But it is about 9 ~ 10 cm between the filter holder and the drip tray grid. Please judge by yourself. I use small espresso cups on this machine...

I measured it several times at 4 5/16 inches (or approximately 11 cm). Out of curiosity, which drip device are you going to place inside? I have an Able Brewing Kone Coffee Filter that fits nearly up to the plastic structure support ring.

This machine uses the 8-12 cup filter size. If you use the smaller (lower) 2-4 cup size and make more then four cups, the grounds will overflow the filter and end up in the carafe.
