Doe it use paper filter, or a mesh brewing cup for the coffee grounds?

It has a mesh filter but a tiny amount of ground filters through, in mine at least.

The basket is a white nylon mesh. Very easy to clean. I LOVE this coffee pot, makes a great cup of coffee or tea!

It has a mesh brewing cup, but I place a small piece of paper towel inside it to keep the very tiny bits of coffee grounds from slipping through.

No it does not require filter paper. It is a mesh cup. This little coffee maker makes a great strong cup of coffee, better than a Keurig. Just remember to unplug it after use. I like it because I could make a cup as needed. It looks flimsy but it really work, for the price; give it a try.

It includes a mesh cup that works fine but you can add the mini filters if you like

I am not sure, since I put a paper filter inside it anyway to make coffee...

It's made of paper. It doesn't filter well. There were coffee grinds in the cup, and spilled over into the machine. I don't know you have to try it for yourself

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)

It does require a filter - we use paper filter for 8-12 cup size brewer. Not sure if a 'permanent' filter is available for sale separately.

We just used it for hot water. If I remember correctly, there was an insert into which you could to make coffee. I would assume you would use a paper filter for it.

No, paper filters are not needed, the stainless steel basket that holds the coffee works well without a paper filter. I suppose if you used a real fine grind you might need a filter, but I have been using mine for 5 years and never had a problem.

No. It's a standard percolator coffee pot with tiny holes in the coffee ground basket, just use coarse ground coffee and there's no need for filters. (Like coffee pots in the 50's)

I agree with the other 3 answers. A paper filter would have to have a hole cut in the center to insert it into the mesh chamber. And if you were thinking of eliminating the mesh and putting a filter into the brewing chamber, again a hole would have to cut in the center to accommodate the mechanism which releases the water into the pot. The mesh chamber is easy to clean and works well.

The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use. I do not prefer to, just because (for me) it is easier to use the smaller (non-conical shaped) paper filters. I have been known to 'toss' out the mesh one into the trash forgetting that I had used that instead of the other ... Be Aware of which one you are choosing to use that day, if not always! Personally, I prefer the small paper filter liners - Not a Cone Shaped! The coffee is, although, just a bit richer if you do choose the permanent filter as your option. It is because of my mistakes that I am 'safer' with the filters! The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use.

I use a regular or drip grind with this filter. However, since I use a Mr. Coffee grinder, it varies. The mesh is extremely fine so any grind would work. It depends on the user's preference.

It is a permanent metal mesh filter, just like you would have with any French Press. You can also unscrew it from the plunger to wash out any particles of coffee grounds that might go underneath it. It will last as long as the whole press does! Tip: Make sure to grind your coffee coarsely for the best results taste-wise.

Actually, there is no need for paper filter. The fine mesh gold tone basket included did the filtering job for both our Cuisinarts. First w. built in bean grinder that served us for a decade and now this second easier version that uses the fresh ground local purchases from our local favorite coffee houses.

hello there,as a matter of fact, i do use paper filters, in order to acquire stronger coffee. but be careful not to fully load water, since it will not be able to brew it (paper filter delays brewing). usually i fill it with 2-4 cups of water and it brews o.k. give it a try and i am at your disposition for any further information. thanks a lot, christina mavraganis.

You can use loose ground coffee. The one cup maker has a filter with an extremely fine mesh that keeps the coffee grounds from flowing to your cup.

I use a #4 paper and then a reusable screen filter on top of that. I have found that using just the paper filter tends to clog up with my grind. The screen seperates the fine particulate mater from the larger ground pieces of coffee. I use 2 large scoops (I believe they are 2 tablespoons each) for my carafe, and one large scoop for my travel mug (Starbucks medium size).I hope tis helps.

It's a blade inside a mesh cup so there's no need for filters. (it grinds an brews through the same cup) I had this coffee maker for years. Used to be able to call Melitta for parts but they don't make this unit anymore. When my second grinder gear stripped on the bottom after YEARS of use, I finally had to throw it out (although you can put pre-ground coffee in it), and I bought a Breville BDC600XL which has a burr grinder.
