Would this product work with a cloth filter instead of disposable paper? Which size?

I haven't used a cloth filter, but I don't see any reason they wouldn't work. I use the middle size paper filter, but it is a bit large. The smallest filter would fit just right.

I don't know why not, unless cloth would stick to the side of filter slowing the drip. I've never used cloth filters. We use #2 cone filters in this. It's really just a funnel with 2 drain holes in the bottom. But, it's been working great.

sure it will work with cloth. I use the standard sized paper filters. they fit the entire cup and hang over just a little bit at the top. you want a little bit more filter than the cup size because the water will move it around to some extent and the grounds will climb the sides.

I'm sure cloth would work fine. It uses the #4 cone shaped ones...I think that's what it's called

They are ment to be put in a reusable filter, so if the filter fits the paper liners will too.

Oops! I thought you were talking about the bags! As for the filter, I am not aware of any paper part. If you go to their website you should find answers to this question I would think.

no, it comes with a permanent, reusable filter. it's worked fine for me, and saves me the trouble of fooling with paper filters!

see my comments on this product HOW NOT HAVE TO BUY PAPER FILTERS -unit has two 'filters' one fine metal mesh and other is a paper have to replace filter -----you can avoid replacing paper filters if just punch out original paper filter - replace with cut to fit piece of linen and then place back bracket with fine wire mesh filter - for me it works great , when linen dirty wash dry and place back in machine - NO MORE PAPER FILTERS TO PURCHASE ( if you do replace filters you are basically paying for a new unit with filters every year).

Tim, the filter is real thick, but you can push it down enough to force the plastic piece with the "catches" to close enough to hold the metal filter in place. As an alternative you might be able to get some fine sandpaper in there and sand down the plastic for a little more clearance... Personally, I went back to paper because I found the metal filter just too much hassle. I'll keep it in case I run out of paper filters. RON.

Negative-This does not truly fit a size 2 filter. The manual shows you how to make a #2 fit with a little origami. I do not like having to fold my filter everyday to make it work.

I would suggest going a more economical route also better quality. I use this and it is easy to cut to size and you get alot http://www.amazon.com/Value-Pack-Filter-Floss-600-square-inches/dp/B00B50UPE0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428031204&sr=8-1&keywords=filter+floss

I use a paper filter! To me you need one, I don't get that permanent filter term they use. You need a filter!

The instructions say to use the cloth wet pad that comes with it and it works good with that. I don't think it gives an option to use the disposable

I have a metal filter and it's much too small for this. If you have a metal filter that is about the same size as a two cup paper filter (the top of your filter should be no more than 4 inches across), then it will probably work, but most metal filters are designed for four cups.

It fits directly into the filter holding dispenser. So figure it is the same as a paper filter.

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...

I am a fan of paper filters -- flat bottom 8-12 cup filters work with this Bunn. I guess you could use the gold, reusable, flat bottom filter, too. I just prefer the paper ones.

Absolutely... I personally don't like using paper, but it is much easier For cleaning. Leave the gold filter in place, won't hurt, then just a quick rinse.

It comes with a mesh filter basket, which you can remove to use paper filters if you prefer.

If the sediment is composed of particles large enough to be stopped by the filter paper yes. If not then you might look into other filter mediums like activated carbon.
