Does this attach to the plunger or is it an extra filter to place at the bottom to catch the grounds and make the press easier to clean?

Good question, LoveJasmine. The round mesh filter attaches to the plunger between two solid steel parts; a flat piece under & a piece rimmed by a spring above the filter. These help keep the soft filter mesh in place while using the press. Enjoy!

It is simply a replacement for the original mesh that attaches to the plunger. It is not an additional part.

It's a hole with a spring clip so that if you pull the pot out it will stop pouring until it's replaced. Saturates the grounds pretty well though, not like a french press but about as well as any other model of this type I've used.

It comes with two really extra-large filters but once those were gone we never use them. It's kind of the beauty of it because you don't have one use things you're throwing away. Just dump the grounds in the garbage or outside in the garden.

No, the screen filter is a pretty tight fit on this model, so no grounds escape. It helps to stir the coffee and let it set for 3 or 4 minutes before using the plunger. You'll get better flavor and the grounds tend to sink to the bottom.

It comes with a filter in the machine itself but no extra. Hope that helps.

This is a coffee press. No filters are required! You put coffee in the bottom, fill with hot water, and then put the "press" in to hold the coffee at the bottom! Its great!

The plunger fits snug. If you have too much grounds in the pot, it doesn't allow the plunger to go down all the way thus the lid does not lay securely on the lip. I have several Frieling coffee presses and don't any issues. They're the best.

I doont dissassemble the plunger, I just get a cheap white stgandard coffee filter and trim it a lil then wrap it around th bottom of plunger. Just enough for filter to be do its job it wastes a lil coffee but it does the job last cup is clean

The filter is built in. Where you put the coffee in the machine it is a holder with tiny little holes in it. Doesn't use a paper filter if that's what you wanted to know. Yes it is a part of the actual percolator. Hope that helps...BTW this thing makes a GREAT cup of VERY HOT coffee!

For standard coffee you don't, but for espresso you want to compact the grounds both for strength of the espresso and the different type of filter used

The cup is plastic; the filter is metal, fused together. You can't separate screen from the cup. That's why we use a paper filter as well that we can dump out . . . easier to clean. . . a large, flat bottomed paper filter works great!. A French press without the press. It works by gravity. Steep the grounds for 5 minutes for best flavor. We love this because one of us needs decaf coffee, so we can have two different kinds of coffee in the am without a lot of trouble. Good Luck.

It's a recessed button right by the words "clean filter". I had to use my fingernail to press it, but a thin pen or nail file would work. It is a long oval shape.

It comes with a filter cup that fits into a case that is placed in the machine. I remove the filter cup which is part mesh for coffee flow and wash after each use. I looked for paper filters and so far have not found any that small. I don't think it was meant to use a paper filter due to the design of the filter. The coffee grounds stay in the filter. It does a good job. Easy to wash

The filter goes on the bottom of the water tray and the motor/pump sits inside it. It keeps debris from entering the motor and clogging it. Then there is the cylindrical filter that goes inside the black tube that fits on top of the conical covering and attaches to the motor.

No plunger. It has a freshness valve in the lid that is replaced approximately every two months. Works perfect for me.

Sure - though you likely wouldn't need/want the plunger/filter - which is easily removed as it screws apart. :)

The filter comes apart. The filter "disks" screw onto the plunger stem. The glass carafe is attached to the holder. I like this because you can hold onto it by the handle while washing and the plastic somewhat protect the glass while draining. I used to have a stainless steel version of his and the carafe slid out of the holder. In that case, if the carafe breaks it can be replaced.
