Is there a filter at the spout to stop scale from getting into your cup?

yes, there is a filter but this is a unreliable kettle. I bought 5 months ago. when it worked it is okay, not the best. It started leaking and I have to ship it back for a refuns

... I ordered this Tea Kettle but did use it. After I ordered it, I saw another one that I liked better, ordered it. When the one you're asking about arrived. I sent it back. Sorry I cannot help.Regards,Dave

Yes, there is a fine-mesh screen at the spout to halt particles from being poured into a cup, bowl, etc. That being said, there is not a "Britta-type" filter to purify or collect/capture impurities from the water. In general, I bought this kettle approximately a year ago and have used it (almost daily) without issue. I'd recommend it.Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, no. The 2-cup level is right below the white line. I have found this cup more trouble than it's worth!

I haven't found filters but would love to. My husband doesn't like the sediment left in the cup using the reusable filter. It doesn't bother me but would love to find some for him.

Mine is similarly scaled. I don't bother to remove the scale on the sides; it doesn't affect the operation or the taste. Before each refill, however, I scrub the bottom with a nylon scrubber to prevent major buildup. I don't bother to try to get it sparkling clean. The water always tastes fine.

No. I had one before that allowed the coffee to kinda run behind the spout, this one doesn,t.

Yes. There is a spring-held plastic catch device that "blocks" the grinds from falling from the top portion into the carafe.

I use a 8-12 cup size filter and that works, might also be the same size as a regular #4 filter. Just punch a small hole on the middle. :)

Yes. There is a small drip through spout on the bottom of the filter for the coffee to drip through. Hope this helps!

There is no filter per se. You should use distilled or purified water particularly if you have hard water at the tap. There is a cleaning procedure that uses a mild detergent to clean the "transducer" in the event it gets dirty which is pretty simple. I have not had cleaning problems (scale) using the water I have but the transducer should be cleaned every so often especially before you store it.

I'm able to squeeze a regular mug (3 3/4 inch high) under filter basket. If you need to, take the tray out for a larger mug.

I don't think you have to use a filter but I do. I don't like those little grinds at the bottom of my cup. I'm not the biggest coffee drinker but I use Folgers.

You need to buy a filter. One thing we don't like about this machine is that the water gauge is on the top next to where you add the water and it's hard to see if unless you are standing on a chair to look while filling. We've gone to a Cuisinart.

There are vertical slots at the spout, perhaps more to slow the flow of water than to filter; there is no filter screen. I suppose you could fill through the spout, but it would be more difficult than filling through the large opening at the top (with the lid open) and would have to be done at a very slow, low rate. The lid opens up fully; it pops up part-way when the button is pushed, and can be opened wider by hand. The lid does not separate from the kettle.

The unit is not designed to stop filtering when the bottom container is full. It will run over if you over fill it.

When my electric kettle first arrive, the filter fell out and I quickly replaced it. The filter is important if you live in a place that has hard water as is the case in my city. Since every once in a while you should boil water with a little white vinegar to remove hard water build-up, just as you clear your drip coffee maker, I recommend that you do the same to remove scale that the filter is intended to keep out of the water you pour from the kettle. I do NOT recommend that you drink water that comes from a water softener because it contains too much salt--bad for the human body as well as for plants. Also, the kettle is intended to heat only water, not other fluids.

No it does not appear you can. I always use a container of some kind and if say I am measuring loose or wet items I use a disposable paper coffee filter.

There is a metal filter available which can be cleansed and reused. I don't recommend it - it allows small bits of grind to pass through into your cup.
