Does this have a permanent basket as a coffee filter? My last B&D had one and I am trying to find the same thing. Thank you

It has a removable basket. However, I use a basket with a coffee filter. I feel the metal basket holds the paper filter easier. I hope this helps you.

Other than instant coffee--no. I use a percolator. I also use a small filter for the basket, which stops sediment from getting into the water in the percolator. This is really good coffee but needs a coffee maker or percolator. Good luck!

No. It comes with a single & bouble basket for coffee, But the holder still has two holes either way. You can easily center one cup under both holes, or do as the picture shows. My favorite which the pictures doesn't show is to you double in the coffee basket. The tray pulls out from the bottom and I use a glass 1 cup measuring cup and fill it to the 1 cup line with the brewed coffee and dump it in a travel mug. I then frothe 1 cup of milk using the same cup and mix thaat in the travel mug. Add whatever sweetned or syrup that you lkike and you have an excellent drink to go!

This coffee maker uses the basket filters! I was glad it did because I can find these filters on sale at the store for a great price!

No permanent filter. I'm actually using the disaposable kind, though because they're made for the 4-cup, they're a little small for this coffee maker. 100-Count Coffee Filter 4 Cup

I use paper filters with the basket because if you didn't the coffee grounds would pour through with the coffee. I prefer not to drink the grounds! :)

I don't think you can. There is no place to put coffee in a filter. The basket is for chunks of chocolate that melt from the heat of the milk.

It has a permanent mesh filter, I returned this item, because of being plastic, the coffee had an odd taste.

This coffee maker has a basket filter, no need to buy filters for it. I will however add that when the pot is 3/4 full to full, it pours terribly. I have yet to find a way to pour it when full that it doesn't spill, regardless of the speed or proximity top cup. If I had it to do over, I would not purchase this item.

The instruction booklet lists using a Mr. Coffee 4-cup paper or permanent filter in the replacement basket. So, I would say yes.

No experience in that subject, but just reviewing the coffee maker my answere is no. The bottom of the filter basketis designed to not only activate brewing but provides the ability to remove the coffee pot during brewing and stop thebewing procedure. Without the basket in place; a mess at worst, no colffee at all in the least.

This unit has a removable basket which holds the paper or permanent filter. The basket should be easily removable. This model does not include a permanent filter.

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.

i just checked, and amazon.com sells them. search: Mr. Coffee BVMC-ZH1B basket filter. i didn't think to use a basket reuseable filter, thanks!

I haven't had to use filters. I find that little or any coffee grounds escape the basket.

No, the coffee grounds stay in the filter basket. As for paper filters, I've always used Bunn filters and never had a problem with the grounds overflowing in them either.

The drip basket acts as a filter for ground coffee. You can purchase paper filters at the food store, but with a percolator I never found it necessary to use a filter as long as you us the correct coffee grind.
