What kind of filter does it have? Paper or some other kind?

There is no filter that needs replacing. The Optimus comes with a "permanent" filter. They're like little marble balls in a cone with slots in it. It just needs to be rinsed when you clean the unit.

I don't see a filter. So, I am afraid I can't help you. Although there is some sort of basket thing before the vapor comes out. Can't say if that's a filter or not but I don't see how it can be replaced.

They are little ceramic beads in cased in the cap that screws on. Super easy to clean... you just rinse them. I have had this for about 4 months and have yet to have to clean anything about this machine! (I use distilled water)

The box says "ceramic" and the instructions say that the filter optimizes the machine lifetime (I guess that means it doesn't need to be replaced)

It comes with a few paper filters. I ordered a permanent filter to accompany it that cost under $4.

Yes...not a filter...just a basket holder for a paper filter. I use the Melitta 4 cup filters which can be ordered on Amazon.

The machine comes with a metal basket filter. You don't need paper filters.

I cut one open to find out. Yes, it has a paper filter and was filled with ground coffee, not instant.

No filter. Have to purchase a seperate in line filter. I bought a culigan that should last me about 8-9 months for around $20

It brings a removable filter, however, we use paper filters in addition to its filter.

It's pleated paper like you see in automotive applications. I suppose you could vacuum or blow it out with an air compressor and get by a few times that way but eventually you're going to have to buy replacements just like every other HEPA filter out there. Mine came with an extra couple of cartridges when it arrived if that helps.

no, it comes with a permanent, reusable filter. it's worked fine for me, and saves me the trouble of fooling with paper filters!

I use paper filters inside of the mesh holder. Makes it easier to clean up.

It comes with a reusable filter, but I use a 2cup paper filter; because it is easier to clean.

Sounds like you are not putting the filter paper into a "reusable" filter basket If that is what your doing. The paper filter needs to be into the filter basket, do you have one? If not you need to get one

I removed it, and used paper filters....until it quit working, after 3 months. The next one lasted almost 7 months. Disappointed. It was great while it lasted. It was beautiful, had so many great features and matched my appliances! Good Luck!!

It uses a number 4 paper. Purchased from your local grocery store, any brand is acceptable. Simply place inside the gold filter basket.

Are you using a filter with it? You are supposed to use a number 2 paper filter.

I'm sorry, but I don't know. I've tried using anything other than paper filters.
