Will #2 Melita filters work with this cone?

Yes, and no. They WILL work, but you have to fold them a bit to get them to work. It isn't difficult, but it is an additional step.

Yes, it doesn't sit well in it empty, but once coffee is placed in it and water poured you should be okay.

I have used both melita and generic #2 filters and they are ok by me. BUT some people might not have patience with these filters I understand that. They do not fit perfectly, but once you fill them with coffee grounds and pour water in, they do conform to the cone and work just fine. Don't try to use your finger, however, to make them conform to the cone before adding coffee grounds and water - that's how the filters get torns.

Yes, but I found the round filters still to be too small for my canister, which I bought last year. Can't find the right replacement filters.

I do not have a cone nor would I use for practical reasons. The extra filter to buy did notseem practical if you use filtered water, like thru a Britta.

I have tried the generic cone filters and they clog because they don't have the tiny holes that the Melitta brand filters do.

Easy to find at local grocery store, melita cone filter size 2 is what came with, but I buy a size 4 so I can use in my larger coffee maker too. It saves having two boxes in my small kitchen space.

I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. I have the Filter Queen filters and have only used this product on those filters. Good Luck though.

Just a few minutes ago I have tried seven different permanent #4 cone filters. None fit. The only thing that has actually worked is cone shaped paper filters #4.

I am not sure about the size difference but I put the Melitta #4 cone filter inside this for easy clean up and it fits perfectly.

I have a Braun cone permanent coffee filter that I use with my Melitta, the dimensions of the braun filter are 4 3/4" Diameter by 3 3/8" high. The bottom of the filter is oblong and about 5/8" by 2 1/8 inch. This is probably a #2 cone filter. The top of the filter comes flush with the top of ceramic filter piece on my Melitta.

Not really. Better to use a Melitta type cone filter if you can't get the wave filters.

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.

If U use a #4 paper filter then the # 4 cone should fit it. If it doesn't U can always send it back. Hope this has helped.

Cone filters. But I dont use them. The mesh filter works great for me. When it wears out I will switch to the # 4 paper filters.

Usually, all I find are the Hario 02 filters, but you could use any #2 single cup filters that are cone shaped. PS Still loving my Hario!

It uses standard paper filters so any flat bottom gold filter should work fine the cone filters will not work.

#2 cone filters fit this basket. I accidently bought some #4 and they are way too big.

the filters with the flat bottom like the ones made by Melitta and readily available in the grocery store won't work as you found out. We use ones with a pointed bottom made by Hario available through Amazon.
