Is the reusable filter cone or oval/egg shaped? I find the cone shaped makes a stronger cup of coffee.

It's round with a flat bottom. I have some cone shaped baskets but haven't used them. I can see where they would make a stronger cup using less grounds tho.

The filter has a cylindrical shape. Since it is for a single cup of coffee I think the shape is just fine. It allows the water to drip through the coffee and the entire batch of grounds gets wet so I believe it allows the water to drip through at a slow enough pace that it gets full flavor from the coffee. If you want a stronger cup then adjust the amount of grounds you use until you get it the way you want.

It's cylindrical...about two inches high and almost 2 inches circumference. I wish I could show you a picture. I think it makes a nice, HOT cup of coffee full of flavor. Only hold about 1 1/2 c water, but I'm happy with it. I only drink one/day and my daughter only once in a while. I like it, just wish has disposable paper filters in that size so I don't get grinds in the sink. we buy the #2 cone papers, cut off about 1/2 inch, fold the ONE side straight at the bottom, open it and put it inside the filter. It works fine! Took a couple times to figure out, but hey, we're genius! I think for the money, you just can't beat it! It's cylindrical...about two inches high and almost 2 inches circumference.

I have no idea the cone is small in sizei if you didn't buy this let me inform you that when you pour out the coffee make sure you do it over the sink because it leaks from the bottom

In terms of access, I just turn the Coffee maker around a little which makes it easier to pour! It's the only access on the inside of the Coffee maker for water and it's an odd shape, the other is where you put your gold filter in an area which is cone shaped! Again it makes excellent coffee, just slightly awkward to pour in the water, but not a big problem!

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)

Yes, the Hamilton Beach model coffee maker uses the cone-shaped 10-12 cup- sized filter

I buy the No.4 cone coffee filters - they are slightly too tall so I just fold them over (along the seam) at the bottom. Works like a charm. I do not buy the band name, generic are just fine.

If you mean the cone shaped Melita type filter, then no those will not work with this. While it is touted as having a "commercial grade permanent basket filter" so no paper filter is required note that it will accept a standard 8-12 Cup basket filter such as is used on Mr. Coffee, Black & Decker etc. The Bunn sized basket filters are too big. Just a regular Mr. Coffee sized one will work. On mine I get too much sediment using just the permanent filter, your results may vary depending on the grind used. With the paper filter lining the permanent filter inside it makes cleaning the basket much easier also. It is a great coffee maker and makes an outstanding brew. Next best thing to a commercial Bunn. In fact it has features a Bunn Commercial Pour-Over doesn't and uses tons less electricity.

Yes. You can see into the cup from the bottom of the cone while the coffee is pouring in through the filter. At least you can with the one I received.

#4 filter is for a coffee maker that makes 8 -12 cups of coffee while the #2 filter is used for 2-6 cups electric & 1 cup non-electric cone coffee makers.

Yes, this coffee maker takes the cone filters. My last coffee maker also took cones, so I could use the ones I had. It worked for me.

Not sure what you're asking. Do you need a replacement cone filter for this model? If so, ereplacementparts.com will probably have it. You don't need to use paper filters with this model, but some people use them anyway for easiest cleanup. If this is what you want, depending on where you live, you can order these online as well. Most grocery stores have them where I live. Hope this helps. I like this coffee maker a lot.

I'm no scientist, so I'm not sure what this particular plastic is. It isn't a soft plastic like a silicone type, it's hard and as of yet hasn't stained the red cone. It's used every day (sometimes more than once) and it seems fine. If you are that unsure as to whether or not to buy a cheap little plastic cone that makes coffee I would tell you absolutely do not buy it. As for me and my husband, it works perfectly and and all you have to do is heat the water. We love it.

I think it is true, yes. I prefer my coffee fairly strong, so maybe I'm more likely to notice when the coffee is a bit weaker. I tried alternating between the permanent filter on some days and paper filters on other days. I could always taste a difference, so I put the permanent filter away and use only paper filters now.

The coffee maker uses standard 8-12 cup flat bottom filters; and I know there are reusable filters made for that.

This Mr. Coffee uses a basket shape rather than the cone shape. I found a supply at both Walmart and Kroger.

We buy #4 cone shaped filters at the grocery store. Krups KM1010 a good basic coffeemaker. We're satisfied customers.

I don't use cone filters. I use the cheap regular filters that fit in any coffee brewer. Push the filter into the Melitta. Dampen the filter slightly with water to make it stay in place. They work fine.
