NO IT DOES NOT COME WITH FILTER!!!!!! I could not find any where on site that says this either so was expecting the filter! The system is NOT worth the money. Leaks no matter how you tighten it.

The Brew Express uses "basket" filters for the full and half carafe, and can use cone filters if you are filling a cup or travel cup. If your gold filter is the correct size and shape it will work fine.

it does come with a gold mesh round filter. Cone shaped filters will not fit in this coffeemaker.

Yes, we do. Pages 4-5 of the owner's manual says that "#4 cone-shaped filters must be used." We've been using ours for about 6 wks. with the paper filters and have had no problems.

Allison, Yes it does come with the filter. I had it for a month or so and it stopped working. I had to get a refund. Not very good. My advise don't get it.

It has one. I use it with a gold mesh cone filter and it makes a good cup of coffee. :)

No paper filter - comes with gold filter - they last at least a couple of years

#4 Cone Filters (paper cone) for the coffee brewer. The machine comes with a metal basket for the espresso brewer.

This model uses Cone #4 coffee filters. I just use whichever filters are the cheapest at the the grocery store and haven't had any problems.

#4 Cone. We use the brown unbleached paper ones, plus it comes with a "goldtone" reusable screen filter that we use if we run out of paper ones. Paper filters tend to leave less "silt" in the coffee, but the mesh one works well.

It does not. I bought the Cuisinart Gold Tone Filter along with it and it works great.

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

The gold filter is included, I also use the paper filters, less mess to clean.

Yes, we use a cone with Melita filters; shortly after we bought it, however, we got a cone that was meant for carafes so we did not have to hold the filter in place as we poured, which regular Meita filters required. .

You can use other filters ... just so they are the cone shaped filters; however more Melitta filters are available in this size ... but I am using a Kroger filter at the moment.

As far as I can tell, just so the filters are the "cone" type I don't think it should matter about the brand. I bought the Melitta filters because the price was so good on Amazon and I bought enough for that super saver shipping! But, if you can find a picture of this cone type of filter (try Google images), then you could take the pic to the store and see if you can find a different, less expensive brand. (Maybe that's what I should have done!!)
