No. You do not need to buy the permanent filter. Regular paper filters will work just as well. In fact, I purchased the permanent filter separately.

Paper filters are fine. Use both if you want. The clock does not light up & is very hard to read.

I use the regular paper filters, never had a problem (I've never used the permanent kind). The paper filters work great. (the round "Mr Coffee" kind, by the way, not the cone shaped ones)

You would have to buy one separate if you wanted one. I just use paper filters.

I bought the permanent filter, I prerer it. You could use normal paper basket filters as well.

Not sure what you're asking. Do you need a replacement cone filter for this model? If so, ereplacementparts.com will probably have it. You don't need to use paper filters with this model, but some people use them anyway for easiest cleanup. If this is what you want, depending on where you live, you can order these online as well. Most grocery stores have them where I live. Hope this helps. I like this coffee maker a lot.

I only use paper filters........but in past have used permanent filter and seemed to have no effect on taste of coffee. My husband just prefers the paper ones...easier clean up.....

While I did not buy my 5 cup Mr. Coffee coffee maker on Amazon, it came with the permanent gold filter. My question was what size paper filter could be used and i see the answer that you can use the 8-12 basket type coffee filters.

I just bought this coffee maker at Costco and it did come with a permanent filter cup. Some do not come with it, don't know why. If buying look on the box for descriptions.

This unit has a removable basket which holds the paper or permanent filter. The basket should be easily removable. This model does not include a permanent filter.

You pour water in the back and use either paper filters or a nondisposable filter, both sold separately. I use the mesh metal nondisposable filter with filtered water for better tasting coffee.

No it doesn't come with the permanent filter, it has one that is designed to fit in it that you can buy though Amazon. It's around $9 and fits the maker perfectly. I sent for mine at the same time as the maker and got it a couple days later. The filer holder (called a "filter basket" in the description, which is why people are getting confused) is removable for easy washing so I was able to use filers for a smaller pot in it the first couple days.

You should purchase extra coffee filters for it, as it only comes with about 4 paper filters. I like the paper ones, instead of getting the lining. They are from Amazon also. I purchased the "Brew Rite" for 4 cup, 200 count filters. Even making a latte every day, that will last quite a while.

I have not tried, I actually like the permanent filters better. It looks as if you can though, the basket that holds the filter looks very similar to an older Mr. Coffee that I used to have that used paper filters, just deeper. Don't know if that would cause a problem though.

It does not come with a filter. I use paper filters. But if it helps I've had this coffee maker for a year and I love it!

The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use. I do not prefer to, just because (for me) it is easier to use the smaller (non-conical shaped) paper filters. I have been known to 'toss' out the mesh one into the trash forgetting that I had used that instead of the other ... Be Aware of which one you are choosing to use that day, if not always! Personally, I prefer the small paper filter liners - Not a Cone Shaped! The coffee is, although, just a bit richer if you do choose the permanent filter as your option. It is because of my mistakes that I am 'safer' with the filters! The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use.

I always use the permanent filter... try it without, perhaps a small cone filter would work just as well..love my PHY. It looks beautiful, and makes a small amount of coffee,as I am the only coffee drinker in this house.

This coffeemaker has two filters. Screen filter and charcoal filter. The screen filter is the somewhat annoying one, that is in the way of installing and removing the permanent filter. It does appear that the screen filter can be easily removed if desired. The screen filter is a pre filter that screens the water that you pour into the unit. If you choose to use this screen filter, it does affect the size of permanent filter that you can use with this unit, EASILY! Because the screen filter is in the way, I've had to use a slightly smaller permanent filter, or my other option was to literally wrestle with the unit every time I removed or installed the permanent filter if I chose to use the size that the unit calls for, I believe it is #4. So I have measured both permanent filters for you and the smaller one of the two is the one that we use. It doesn't overflow, but the coffee grounds are near the top of the filter. The smaller permanent filter that we use is: 3.5 inch height --- diameter across the top is 4.75 inch wide, The larger permanent filter, probably the correct size but to difficult to use, the size is 3.75 inch height---diameter across the top is 5 inch wide. The only reason I haven't removed this annoying screen filter is because it is under warranty, but that very well may be the best solution. Good luck!

Just the regular flat bottom filters. This is the longest Lasting Unit I have ever owned with all my favorite features. I usually burn through a coffee maker in 1 year or less. My first one of these lasted almost 3 years. I am on my second one, and it is going strong.

It does have a permanent filter but we like the paper filter better because the coffee comes out stronger. We usually grind our own coffee.
