What 'grind' of coffee do you use for this filter?

I use a near-fine grind. It's the second lowest setting on my burr grinder. But lots of people have different opinions on what's best and depending on your method. Kaffeologie's site has some tutorials too you could check out.

Standard grind like you get at the store for a Mr. Coffee drip coffee machine. My blade grinder is too fine it is like a powder and leaves sediment in the coffee with this filter.

I use a manual grinder but I aim for a grind that's slightly finer than what you would use for drip coffee.

Mine is set at 8 on my Baratza Virtuoso, so out of the 40 adjustments it's quite fine.

4 cup filters. I tried the regular, but sometimes they would fall and coffee grounds would get in the pot.

I use regular off the shelf grind and have no problem. You're supposed to just wet the coffee first, and then pour in the water a little at a time. Don't pour in all the water all at once. Maybe that will help?

I am no coffee expert, making coffee seldom. I followed the directions for pouring a little water on top of the ground and letting them swell first before s.l.o.w.l.y pouring in the rest of the water. This resulted in coffee sticking to the sides of the screen, which seems to filter pretty well. With what I think is medium grind, a little sediment gets in, but it's not much. I think more comes through if you pour the water faster.

Mavea maxtra filter. Just search for that. It's the same as the one for tassimo coffee machine.

I use the standard grind that comes in packages of Starbucks bags at the grocery store. In other words I used a flat bottom drip grind for standard coffee makers. I also filled my reusable pods to the top, but just eyeballed it. It was slightly less strong than if I had had it drip, but the good flavor made up for that. Good luck.

I use the ground coffee part nearly every day. I have found if you rinse it under a running faucet soon after you run a cup, it cleans more easily.I have never tried a filter.

I just use the regular filters, poke a hole in the center and put the grounds on top. The filter doesn't come all the way up the sides, but it works well enough for me. Any grounds that would get in would sink to the bottom and would be below the spout so I haven't noticed grounds in my coffee. I don't know where to get bigger filters though.

I use the filter because I don't like the sediment on the bottom of the coffee cup. I hope this helps you with your decision.

Yes, I use paper filters all the time. I prefer to throw away the paper filters with the old coffee grinds instead of cleaning the gold mesh filter after every use.

I don't use a filter. I find the coffee made in a press is richer and much better tasting than from a drip machine. I also grind my own beans every few days. I'd grind fresh every day if I had time. And I would never use pre ground, it always seems to taste flat or stale.

From what we read in the owner's manual, it uses a conical shaped paper filter. But we prefer the mesh screen filter basket that came with it versus the paper filters, the coffee seems to be more flavorfull this way.

I use Costco columbian, which I assume is a regular grind, although I don't think it would matter much. The coffee comes out of a small hole in the cone. I ordered a package of #2 Melita filters, but found that the Costco filters could be easily cut to fit the cones.

I use paper filters. You have to be careful the paper doesn't fold over because it doesn't fit perfectly. Other than that, I am very happy with the coffee maker.
