Has anyone found reusable filters that fit the My Cafe MCU? We like to use our own coffee, but the loose coffee drawer is not easy to clean btw uses.

I use Melita single serve coffee filters for Javajig. They are not reusable and tiny little paper filters like the big ones used is large coffee makers for ground coffee. I find it much easier to dump out and it does catch most of the grounds. I found at grocery store a small red & green box of 60 filters and they have them on Amazon. I've also used the paper filters people use who make their own coffee pods and they are on amazon as well and called Coffee Pod Replacement filters by Easy Pack. They are a little paper filter with a connected lid that opens and closes. I have found both these type of paper filters work great for ground coffee in the Bunn My Caf MCU. I use both types .

I am in the same boat as you Colleen. I got the Melita filters that LuLu recommended, but haven't had the chance to use them yet. I am thinking of using the Melita filters with my reusable K-Cup and see if that will be easier to clean up. Did you know that the bottom portion of the loose coffee drawer from the Bunn MCU does snap out for easier clean up, and just snaps back in place when clean?

The reusable kcup coffee holders that are designed to make your own cup fit the My Cafe MCU. They are marketed by companies for any kcup coffee maker. They don't use paper filters but have a screen surface that can be easily rinsed.

Hi. I just bought the Ekobrew Cups on Amazon. Not sure that they will work with the Bunn, but at $8.49, I'm not too worried if they don't. I should be getting them this week and can advise more intelligently then. If they don't work, they should make for great little disposable shot glasses! ;)

The loose coffee drawer comes apart for easy cleaning. The little screen pops right out of the cup.

"I use Melita single serve coffee filters for Javajig.". ditto.... just the paper filter, not the jig.

No, but I have seen a gadget that makes pods. Maybe you could make your own coffee pods and use the pod drawer that comes with the brewer.

I tried the melitta filters for java jig in the grounds drawer and found several problems. They do fit but they limit the room in the basket making it not possible to use the 20grams of grounds the drawer can fit without the paper filter... This alone is a reason to not use a paper filter in the bunn mcu. Grounds still escape up the sides of the paper filter so cleanup still requires running water through the metal filter...I will continue using the grounds drawer without paper filters as recommended... It makes an excellent cup of coffee.

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.

Usually, all I find are the Hario 02 filters, but you could use any #2 single cup filters that are cone shaped. PS Still loving my Hario!

I use paper towels to scrap the clogged grounds from the filter when I need to use it again - I have two filter cups to fill up with my decaffeinated coffee in the mornings after breakfast daily! Good luck in cleaning yours thoroughly!!

I would exchange your coffee maker! The one I have works just fine. In fact, I have to lessen the amount of coffee because it comes out too strong. --- I do use only the filter that comes with the unit.

We use two different filters. One is a large paper filter that we put the coffee in and only use that one once. The other filter fits in the bottom of the brewing container. We probably have used that one 12 times and have not replacced it. Be sure and rinse it out after each use. Just follow the instructions for its care.

I haven't used that brand of coffee with the filter. I am using Teeccino Java and I get a very small amount of dust passing through. It stays in the bottom of the coffee pot so it doesn't matter.

I use the make-your-own pod papers for filters. 2 for 1- top then bottom separately. Makes it easy to empty. I now also make up pods to use in the loose coffee drawer. No messing with dragging it all out & measuring first thing in the morning. Keep them sealed in a container & can even freeze or refrigerate if you want to retain freshness.

Yes Ma'am! I'm using up my old ones presently. However, the ones I have are a little short, so must be careful not to overfill. In times of need I've used paper towels. BTW, I use two filters which makes the coffee richer in one way, and filters out more caffeine. Have fun!

I am not sure and with that answer it would seem as a consumer like you that these things are universal. Does it say U may ret it? I would first go on youtube.com and put in K-cup reuseable filter. You have to have the recepticle to put the filter in. Do you have one. Added expense. I have both and a lot of trouble for that is why you bought the Keurig in the first place wasn't it? Now over complicating things. If you want fav coffee make ahead freeze in small containers and micro and go! Just a thought. Success! I have these and NEVER use, a messy deal. Cheaper to buy K-cups at disc. google disc k-cups. Sandra it's scary to tell address to someone U don't know but you may have one not used and I will send 1 to try.

I use only ground coffee in the filter...........hopefully someone has pod experience and can help you

Are you inserting the filter in a plastic filter cup or directly in the machine? We use ours in a filter cup and have never had a problem. They work great with our own ground coffee.

Here's what I do with my reusable K-cup filter. I grind my coffee to a size similar to that in the disposable K-cups. Then I put the desired amount of coffee into a size no. 2 t-sac paper tee filter, twist the top closed, and insert it into the reusable K-cup filter after I've removed the metal filter basket. Don't need that metal basket for my method. All you need is the gray plastic outer shell. Works perfectly for me. The t-sac holds all the grounds in place and you can just dump them out once the coffee is done. You can get the t-sac filters on Amazon or the are generally carried is specialty tea shops. Be sure to use the no. 2 or larger bag size. The no. 1 is a bit too small for this purpose. Enjoy! Constance Makela Minnesota

I only use the bunn filters. You can purchase them at most grocery store for a few bucks. The bunn filters are taller than most other brands, using an off brand cause grounds in my coffee:)

Using a one:one machine too. Was ordering unbleached replacement pod filters, but site is no longer available.Would like to know if these filter pads work with the one:one myself. the prefilled Senseo coffee pods work fine.

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

No, you can use any brand of filter that fits....however, the filter is slightly deeper than the Mr. Coffee, etc., size, so it would be the size larger than that. We bought a re-usable filter that we use most of the time, but I found Bunn filters at my local Ace Hardware on sale, and bought a bunch of them as well.FWIW, I'd buy the Bunn again. Makes great coffee.....fast.

did u ever get an answer for this? i LOVE percolator coffee but hate the leftovers at the bottom of the cup. i just use a metal filter and pour thru that into my cup. keeps all that extra out but here's a link for filters if u want to use them. http://www.amazon.com/Melitta-628354-Disc-Coffee-Filters/dp/B001M8K5TU/ref=pd_sim_k_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0BFD3RPTM182MCC5BB3X
