Yes - it comes with filter basket, and we also use a paper cone filter - just to prevent grounds from getting into the coffee.

It comes with a mesh filter basket, which you can remove to use paper filters if you prefer.

I had to get a gold tone filter for myself. The Mellita filters fit fine if you don't have one. If you buy the BROWN paper filters, they filter out the cholesterol in the coffee !! YES, I found out there is cholesterol i coffee !! Enjoy that cup of joe !!! Remember, hold top down while loading pot to "adjust" tension of downward spring from filter frame.

Ours did not come with the separate filter basket but yes you can use paper filters.

You'll need to get #4 cone filters but I use the filter basket that I bought separately

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

I use paper filters for easy clean up but the mesh is sufficient on its own. Paper filters fit right into the mesh basket.

Yes, it takes a standard #4 paper filter. I think you can buy a reusable gold filter too.

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

This uses the standard regular basket shaped filters. Sorry if that doesn't help, I'm not sure if it's a numbered thing like other filters.

It does not come with a permanent filter. It does have a standard filter and you can purchase a permanent filter inexpensively (when compared to paper filter replacement costs) at most supermarkets.

Mine came with some #4 Melitta unbleached paper cone filters along with a coupon to buy more. I have not opened it (I already had filters so it wasn't an issue), but it looks like there are about 5 of them. Coffee maker makes great coffee.

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!

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)

Yes, this coffee maker takes the cone filters. My last coffee maker also took cones, so I could use the ones I had. It worked for me.

You still need the paper ones. It has a plastic filter basket but it still requires the paper ones. For the money, you can't beat it. It has delay brewing also

Just the filter is enough. I use only paper filters (without the "real" filter), I don't know why! I use either Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. Enjoy! It is a great little coffee maker.

I believe the filter you need (if you wish to use one) is called the "Basket Filter." I know the unit comes with it's own metal filter but I find them messy to empty and clean, and I also believe that the paper filters contribute to a better tasting brew.

A plastic basket that is designed to hold disposable paper filters is included. A fine wire mesh filter basket that is sometimes used in coffeemakers in lieu of paper filters is not included.

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