I have ordered the Eco-Fill 2.0 Deluxe pod. It says it can be used with or without the filter papers. Should I buy the filters?

Yes it will IF you do not use the screen filter which comes with some eco-fill units.

I use the solo fill pod which is similar. I like using the filters for several reasons and would highly recommend them! 1. It seems to eliminate the occasional overflow. Without them, I sometimes get grounds or just plain water in my cup.2. It is easier to clean your pod, especially if you are going to reuse it immediately (as for a second cup). Without a filter, you have to handle the hot wet grounds directly, which is messy.After using one, I let it cool or dry. I empty the grounds into a container to save using ony plants later. I put the empty paper filter in my compost. Much less waste than a kcup! I use the solo fill pod which is similar. I like using the filters for several reasons and would highly recommend them! 1.

To eliminate mess and grounds in your cup. I love the ease of dumping the filter and coffee in the trash.

I have the filters and the empty pods either way is good just less mess with the filters

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.

I have a Keurig mini, so I have not used this system. I notice it says you can use it with or without the filters. Personally, I love the convenience of just plucking the filter with the coffee in it out of the container and dropping it in the trash. This, plus a better cup of coffee, is what makes the EZ-Cup system superior, to me, to the My K Cup system Keurig offers. I've used My K Cup, and it's a pain to clean that stainless steel basket each time. I wonder if cleaning the stainless steel basket in the Eco-Fill system might also be a pain. Hope this helps.

This is a listing for 50 paper filters...the Perfect Pod Maker is sold separately in another listing.

I order precut pod filters from www.yourcoffeepod.com and fill with ground coffee. These pods are pre-cut and ready to fill and seal. Full directions are included on this website. Using a google search, I have found other suggestions for re-purposing standard filters, but the pre-cut filters work best for me.

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 have a hemp cloth filter which I use with this and it filters EVERYTHING, but the cloth filter alone gets clogged too quick. I like using both because together they work perfectly, and the cloth filter can be washed or just rinsed out. Been doing it this way for many years now and am very happy with it. If you can't find a cloth filter to go with this, I'd also use paper filters with it. (Which I hate because of the environmental issues, not to mention the ones that are white are made white with bleach, and the brown ones cost more, and you have to keep buying the paper ones.)

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

Do not believe you could insert the pod into one of the reusable filters. The grounds annoy me as well but not a deal breaker. Would like the see Rodgers coffee add paper filter inside the mesh or a finer mesh to provide a ground free cup.

Not sure what you're asking. Do you need a replacement cone filter for this model? If so, ereplacementparts.com will probably have it. You don't need to use paper filters with this model, but some people use them anyway for easiest cleanup. If this is what you want, depending on where you live, you can order these online as well. Most grocery stores have them where I live. Hope this helps. I like this coffee maker a lot.

Yes u can. The environment filter is a better filter. The cartridge is the same .

i dont you use filters, infact i bought the permanent lid cover cause the provided lid cover kept falling off the lid blocking the container ,leaving me with a mess

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.

any coffee can be used. That is what I don't like about Keurig as you have to use the premade pod or use the contraption to make your own pod which is messy. It says no filter is necessary but I use filters size #2. Otherwise it will have some sediment.

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.

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)

You can use them in addition to your disposable cartridges. In the penguin 200 filter there are two slots, one can be used for the disposable cartridge and the other for the refillable. I use the refillable one for Ammonia Neutralizing Carbon. You could if you wanted to, use the refillable cartridge for your general filtering by filling it with a filter pad and some carbon.

I cannot be sure, but the demo video I just watched used the Folgers pods which I have used in my Senseo in the past. You can get a smaller package of these filters from Amazon if you'd like to try them first.

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.
