do u need a gold filter or can you use a paper one

You can use either. I use a No. 4 Melitta paper filter or a gold metal filter depending on my mood. There will be some grit with the metal filter.

You can use paper filters (#4). If you order from Roastmasters on Amazon you will receive paper filters, a gold filter, 2 lbs of their house blend coffee, and a pack of cleaning powder; all of which is free.

You can remove the gold-tone filter and use a regular paper cone filter instead. I have been doing it this way for months.

I don't know what you mean by gold tone filter. My unit came with a black filter which I can remove to rinse out. This is the same unit I have, but there is nothing gold about it; black and silver like this picture. Sorry if this doesn't help.

No paper filter - comes with gold filter - they last at least a couple of years

Yes you would still need a filter, this is just a bubble wand. A good filter would be the aquaclear. It gets the job done and it's pretty inexpensive. By the way I have had 2 of these bubble wands for over a year and they are still working!

You can use the filter that comes with it, however it needs to be rinsed each time you use it with soap and water. I don't use it at all. I use a paper filter.

Please see my review for the "BUNN Reusable Basket Style GoldTone Permanent Coffee Filter by Gold Tone " you will get the same result as with the paper filter with half the work.

My understanding is that this product cannot except a gold tone filter. Sorry!

Sorry I don't know about the gold filter basket, but these things work great in cleaning coffee stains off of the metal and glass used on my Bunn coffee maker. When I use them, I don't use a filter, I just place the tablet in the basket.

Yes, either paper filters as standard or Krups offer a metal filter as an optional extra. We chose the permanent metal filter to avoid the mess around endless paper filters.

What size filter do you use in it? If you don't use one now ask a friend or neighbor if u can borrow a paper size filter size 4 and then you will know

The machine comes with a metal basket filter. You don't need paper filters.

Off hand, I would ask, WHY? The gold filter is made to work on its own. The ceramic FILTER HOLDER is meant to be used with the 4 cup paper filters (bleached or unbleached). I've not tried using the gold filter I have inside my ceramic filter holder as it seems redundant. The single problem that I have had with my gold filter is occasional granular leakage when the coffee is ground too small. I can not really see any benefit to placing the gold inside the white ceramic except, perhaps, to save the cost of the paper filters.

I use paper filters inside of the mesh holder. Makes it easier to clean up.

Twenty years ago I purchased a BRAUN/Swiss Gold permanent filter for our Gevalia. No paper filter necessary ever. It's still like new. Plastic with metallic gold filter and lift out handle. I have a paper Gevalia filter which when placed flat measures 7 1/2 inches across the top and has 4 1/2 inche sides which slant to a narrower 2 inch bottom.

I've tried it and it works and I've also tried putting the paper filter in the gold plated mesh filter too. You might as well leave the gold plated mesh in place just in case the paper tears... Although using the white paper filters may expose you to very small amounts of toxin that potentially is residual from the bleaching process to make those filter papers white... you might alternatively use the "natural" brown colored filters to avoid possible dioxin exposure... Another minor point about using paper filters is that it will slightly slow down the liquid flow thru the filter area which may or may not cause an issue... I've never used paper long enough to know if there is a problem with this...

You can use paper filters but you don't need to. The stainless drum has fine holes in it that strain the juice just fine. This juicer is wonderful, but takes a lot of cleanup.
