Most definitely. I bought the permanent filter at the time i bought the coffee maker. Make sure it is round and not coned. I bought the filter on amazon also at the same time.

Yes, they sell them and one of the proper size should work with it, though I cannot comment on how well since I've never tried one with it.

You can use paper filters. #4 size. They fit into a plastic filter holder that snaps into place. You might be able to use a reusable gold filter instead of paper--you'd need to check the manual.

I bought the permanent filter, I prerer it. You could use normal paper basket filters as well.

Probably the best way to answer this question is to tell you that this filter fits exactly into a #4 cone-shaped paper coffee filter. It has pretty much exactly the same dimensions, so if you can use a #4 cone paper filter in your Hamilton Beach coffee maker, you could use this permanent filter.

I actually havent found a permanent filter large enough but, a size 4 filter is about a half inch short and works fine. Infact I order mine from Amazon, its the largest one they sell, think it was less than $5.Hope this helped

There are a variety of filters available in the 4.5x20" size. All of them will work. You need to choose for yourself based on your filtering needs. I get mine here:http://123filter.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=64_32

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.

This maker doesnt come with a permanent filter. I have seen them available but have never used them.

Just the filter is enough. I use only paper filters (without the "real" filter), I don't know why! I use either Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. Enjoy! It is a great little coffee maker.

I recommend you buy similar but the Cuisinart brand specifically designed for 4 cup. Amazon lists it for $6.80. GTF-4 Goldtone filter. Very great to use!

I only use paper filters........but in past have used permanent filter and seemed to have no effect on taste of coffee. My husband just prefers the paper ones...easier clean up.....

While I did not buy my 5 cup Mr. Coffee coffee maker on Amazon, it came with the permanent gold filter. My question was what size paper filter could be used and i see the answer that you can use the 8-12 basket type coffee filters.

Possibly using too fine a grind for the permanent filter. I use paper filters since cleaning the permanent filter is too messy and not worth the trouble.

No permanent filter. I use an old 5 cup filter which came from a pot I had before.

I bought this gold filter separately: Mr. Coffee 6659 4 Cup Permanent Filter, for $1.50 plus shipping, from Seneca River Trading Inc. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WMTBD8/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1well worth the price of shipping...fits perfectly...no more wasted paper

I have used these filters for years, but can't find them locally anymore. I won't pay this price for them either, so I bought basket filters made for 4-cup drip pots for a song. I just tear a 1/4 inch slit in the middle of the bottom and they fit my percolator basket perfectly. Cheaper than tissues.
