Is the brew basket filterless? My current Black & Decker coffeemaker is.

This Coffeemaker no longer works. I just can't seem to find the right system! I literally have gone through at least 1 Coffee Maker every 9-12 months since May of 2002 due to the HEAVY Calcium in my water, so choosing a good "Name Brand" maker makes little difference! So, I have tried many makes. Reviews affect my choice as a moot issue, I am beyond frustrated. Sooooooo, I will be glad when I get a water filtration system to stop the Calcium wrecking my makers regardless of the name and model. -At Wit's End in Michigan!

It does require a filter - we use paper filter for 8-12 cup size brewer. Not sure if a 'permanent' filter is available for sale separately.

There is not filter in the basket, you have to add a filter. I have always found that with the paper coffee filter my coffee is always clearer than with other types of filters.

What do you mean by filter basket? Do you mean the gold permanent filters? If that was your question then no it does not. If your question is about the standard filter holder that every coffee maker comes with then the answer is yes.

I would say yes, the water you pour into the coffee maker might be filtered but the water has to be circulated through the coffee machine and might come into contact with something inside the machine. The filter will eliminate those articles from inside the machine. Hope this helps.

Yes, the brew basket is plastic and there is a long plastic tube that extends from the lid of the carafe which funnels the coffee to the bottom of the carafe.

I'm sorry; I think this question was misdirected to me. I don't own a Hamilton Beach dual coffeemaker and so cannot answer your question about the one-cup paper filter.

No, there is no water filter that I am aware of, just the water reservoir. The instructions recommend using filtered water for the best taste, but we use tap water and the coffee tastes just fine. About the only problem I have noticed....and it's an annoyance, but not a deal breaker.....if I make more than a couple of cups, I have to hold the "brew" button down for a few seconds in order to make the unit start the cycle again. Other than that, nothing.

Yes. You can set the cycle to brew only without grinding. I recommend using a quality grind, make sure it is fresh and use a filter, rather than the basket.

For the short time I used this coffeemaker, I used it without the filter. My home water is filtered by a better system than any coffeemaker filter could provide, so I wouldn't buy any coffeemaker that insists on using their filter as a condition for the appliance working.

yes, a filter basket is included. I don't use the filtration system either. No complaints about the pot....

I use basket-style filters when I make a full pot. Otherwise you use the insert provided with machine to make individual cups, which does not need a filter.

You don't really NEED a filter if your coffee is "percolator ground," which is a coarser grind than you would use for an automatic or drip coffee maker. The larger pieces won't go through the holes in the basket. BUT, if you prefer to use a filter or if your coffee is a finer grind, then you can really use any paper filter and cut it to size, as needed.

Yes you do. It is a removable basket that "holds" your filter. Without a filter you would have a very messy and chunky pot of coffee. I use the "Pure Brew" brand for a 4-cup coffee maker. They are very inexpensive at Walmart and work great!

you don't need filters for that coffee pot, it works great without filters. If you try to use filters it clogs the coffee up and doesn't drain properly.

Yes, both the large brew station and coffee filter basket can easily be removed towash and the advantage of not having a glass carafe to contend with. I'm verysatisfied and would by another one when the time comes!

Yes, the grinds will go in the basket-instead of the top grinder. I do love the coffeemaker, but suggest paper filters over the gold permanent one as if not the coffee will be weak. With the paper I use the same amount we did in all other machines we have owned!

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!

It has a filter basket so it doesn't need a filter.... the filter basket is small and dome shaped so a 'pod' filter (the kind with coffee already in it) might fit, but not a 'traditional' filter.. even a smaller size.
