I have the coffee it came with. Is it ok to use my 5 cup coffee maker with a brown filter? The coffee maker has a stainless steel holder.

Sorry I can't help. I have only tried boiling for 3 min. as the instructions give. I have a Kurig and nothing larger to make more than one cup.

Yes, I cut a hole in the middle of a coffee filter and place in the coffee holder. It saves a lot of grounds getting into the coffee.

Hi, The filter seems to hold the same amount of coffee as the original filter that came with Cuisinart. If you want strong good coffee try buying French Roast or Italian Roast, it has a strong good flavor taste, and you filter is good to go.

None. There is a plastic basket inside where you can put your coffee. I never used a filter but suppose if you get a really small one it might help if some of the grounds, if small, escape into the coffee pot.

Yes, I would push the filter down but the coffee grounds would be packed at the lid when finished brewing. But since I got then I don't have grounds in my coffee. I'm just bummed, keurig brewer stopped heating the water after I got my second order of these.

Yes, you can add brewed coffee, it's glass so it shouldn't absorb the coffee flavor, but you can't use it to brew coffee, the filter is to course for grinds.

The coffee is placed directly in the filter and then brewed. Generally this works well but there is sediment (coffee fines?) at the bottom of the cup. Also coffee is not as strong as the K-cups which I think is because the water passes too quickly through the filter.

I bought a "standard" size 4 gold filter from Bed Bath Beyond and it just barely fits into the existing brewer basket (where the paper filter would sit). I tried using the gold filter with the existing brewer basket AND without using the removable brewing basket. Without the basket, the coffee drains faster and doesn't steep as long, so could effect coffee taste.

For Yes I need to put paper filter because some of the coffee is not filter from the hole and so the coffee you drink have coffee fiber on it, but its up to you weather u like to put the paper filter or not its ok by me because I use it with or without the paper filter

Hi Mary - no you don't have to use the filter but I do because even pure water has minerals that can build up and clog the water inlet.This is my second one - the first lasted over 15 years. makes the best coffee - enjoy

Hello Vera, I don't know why - all I can say is how I use it, and that I am happy. I use the typical round filters on top of the filter supplied, since I do not wish to clean it each time. I use a mug, so it takes 2 1/2 scoops for the strong coffee I love. My mug and the supplied mug hold the same amount of liquid. I timed it, and it takes 3 1/2 minutes from the time you push the button until it stops dripping. I then tip the unit to get every drop, remove the paper filter, and I have my morning coffee, the way I like it and saved a ton of money rather than the premeasured pods. It shuts itself off after the 3 1/2 minutes is up; but you cannot turn it off once it is on. It is so small, it would easily fit in my travel case when I go out of town. I am so happy with this that I am giving it as a Xmas gift as well. It is exactly what I wanted! I hope all this helps you, and you are welcome to ask me any other questions you may have. Happy Thanksgiving, Suzanne

Yes, I do. I can just pick up the used filter and throw I in the trash. When you don't use a paper filter some of the coffee grinds stay in the filter and you have to rinse it out in the sink and will clog the drain. So I use the paper filters. Also and my little coffee ot didn't come with a basket filter.

Hey P. Radcliffe, Ekobrew filters arrived today7/28. They work Great. Using the included Bunn measure spoon reads 2 cups per 10oz water. I put 2 Flat level full grinds into filter & closed filter lid fine. So, I know it will hold 2 spoonful, I usually make my coffee slight less than 2 spoonful & 8oz water. The beauty part is I shook the full used grinds & filter from the holder in 1 shake. Do not have to rinse holder after each cup. Just rinse holder when I am thru drinking coffee each day. TIP: used grounds + filter dropped out of holder in one try. I think it will drop out faster while still hot instead of letting the grounds dry in the holder. Enjoyed chatting with you.

You can definitely use the filter that came along with the coffee maker. But to escape the hassle of washing the filter after every use, people mostly use paper filters which are available in all grocery stores and supermarkets. Use any grounded coffee of your choice - ground it yourself or buy one from market. Enjoy your Coffee!

I'm not sure. I have the 5 cup Mr Coffee with the Stainless steel Carafe. The mesh filter works great with my machine.

My boyfriend is a coffee lover, and what he taught me to do is to put the coffee filter first and then Kcup, it will work the same way, but any coffee grounds will stay in the paper filter. It works in the individual brewer or the 12 cups brewer perfectly. :) Hope it works for you as well!

I always brew a full pot and dump what I don't drink (about half a pot) you use the same amount of coffee for a half a pot as full a pot, so why not. The grab a cup during the brew works just be quick or it will overflow the filter basket. Otherwise it is one of the best coffee pots I have owned.
