The original filter I got with my Hario TCA-5 seems like it doesn't have an elastic "fastener". So it seems like the cloth filter is sewn pretty tightly on the side where the spring is located. How do I swap the filters? Does the "neck" stretch wide enough to get it around the metal plate? The original filter I got with my Hario TCA-5 seems like it doesn't have an elastic "fastener".

I have the Yama siphon, so it might be a tad different, but when I purchased these replacements, I had to cut a string that was tying the filter to the plate. Then I had to tie the Hario replacement filter back over the plate. I didn't experirence any elastic way of fastening, just a tie string. I hope that helps.

You have to cut the string that is sewn into the cloth, on the underside of the metal plate. To swap a cloth, cut the current string and remove the cloth. Take your replacement, place it on the metal plate so the side with the string is on the underside. Cut the string to remove any excess.

The replacement filters are tied on. With regular cleaning I've been using the same cloth filter for three months and going strong.

What's the difference between the two? Is it just size or are there other parts? Mine was just a basic brown Hario V60. It came with everything shown here, plus filters.

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.

I remember when I first got this product It listed that U can reorder a filter. I do not have the paper work now. but I had also bought a universal filter before I knew one came in the box. It is smaller. if U have the filter U can also take off the top and U still should be able to use it. sit it right where the water drips in . If U search the web U should come up with better Chef web site. Luck to UUU...

Its for all Cuisinart Coffeemakers that have the charcoal water filtration system.Mine is a side by side coffeemaker/water heater so I change 2 filters at a time.Hope this was helpful.

Agreed . . . not so easy.Push a chopstick or something through a hole in the top. Aim at the center and push the filter fully forward.While doing this, use thumb and finger to squeeze filter together, and pull out.Hope this helps . . . .

I bought this coffee maker today, but the box had been opened before and resealed, and I don't find the manual inside. There is any way to find a manual online for this model? Also I'm wondering if is coming with a permanent filter like:"Coffee GTF2-1 Basket-style Gold Tone Permanent Filter", or it has only that plastic bin for paper filters!

The full filter assembly is available from Hario on Amazon for $9.95. I ended up breaking the glass stem and discovered that the glass replacement parts are too expensive to replace. As it turns out, the Yama brand siphons are better made and better designed, so I've made the switch. Good luck!

When you open the top, on the side opposite where you put the water, is another well with a thin plastic filter holder. Pull it out and on the bottom is a basket. It opens with a snap and you remove the old filter before inserting the new one. The filter holder is long and thin, like the wooden mixers you get to stir paint in a can, except it has big oval holes in it. It sits upright on the left side and you just pull it up. Watch this YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tuMB5piAWA. Good luck

I am in the same boat as you Colleen. I got the Melita filters that LuLu recommended, but haven't had the chance to use them yet. I am thinking of using the Melita filters with my reusable K-Cup and see if that will be easier to clean up. Did you know that the bottom portion of the loose coffee drawer from the Bunn MCU does snap out for easier clean up, and just snaps back in place when clean?

I love the bullet-proof thermal carafe and the looks of this unit, so I am determined to keep it going forever. I will fashion whatever parts I need to make that happen. If enough people are interested, I'll start making parts for their units as well and selling them on eBay or Amazon. The screen on this unit is not the best. It should have a grommet around the center hole and have better strength around the edge. This isn't a pretty fix, but what I did was order a new screen for the same sized carafe from Bodum, then slightly filed down the center post to fit the Bodum screen. I would say this would be your last resort. The preferred option is that you may also order a complete filter assembly (upper disc, lower disc and filter) from Bodum, and last I checked the threads fit the Cafettiere plunger rod exactly. Alternatively, just order one from La Cafetiere: Here is your product: http://www.lacafetiere.com/coffee/cafetieres/thermique-cafetiere.html Here is the contact page: http://www.lacafetiere.com/contact-us.html You can also try these guys in the USA...but they are currently out of stock so get on the list (looks like a universal fit): http://www.enjoybettercoffee.com/La-Cafeti-re-4-6-or-8-cups-replacement-filter-p/lc022.htm How's that for an answer? If you like it, please write 'thank you' on a new, full-sized 2013 Cadillac Escalade and park it in my driveway with keys and title :-)

I saw this tip on one of the reviews and it worked for me...put on rubber gloves, they will give you extra gripping power. Hold on to the top of the casing with one hand while twisting the filter with the other hand. Also twist it clockwise since it's upside down.

Assuming you have bought the right filters (hopefully, as it is a bit confusing) all you have to do is hold the plastic pod basket in one hand and grasp the the long plastic piece (which serves as the handle and water level indicator) close to where it meets the basket. This is also the top of the basket/pod. GENTLY unsnap. It does come apart. Toss the old filter, hold the new one under cold running water to rinse loose carbon media (approx 2 mins.) insert new filter into pod and snap the top/handle back on. Insert into water resevoir, lining up the pod so it fits into the notched hole in the resevoir, ENJOY your coffe!!!

If you have an NXA-5, you should have the metal filter plate with tiny holes, and I don't think you will need the cloth filter. Looks like they should fit in size, but they are normally for use with the other siphon pots that have a metal filter plate with larger holes.

Are you using it for a Black and Decker coffee maker? I Personally had a hard time finding the correct filter for mine, but this one does fit and is actually the one I needed. Not sure about the size difference.

I just bought one to replace my original permanent filter which was somewhat smaller. I've noticed that water flows through faster with the new filter, and the brewed coffee is weaker. Adding a paper filter has helped.

No, it has plastic "feet" that protrude on the botton, would not fit. Of course, you could cut them off and try! Maybe the Able Brewing Kone filter would work in the Hario V60. It was designed for Chemex but who knows...
