Do we need to use paper filter to this machine, or the filter that comes with machine is enough? Another question is that which coffee do you use?

No filter needed. The inner basket is a filter. I use any coffee that's on sale.

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.

You have the option to use the filter that came with the TF6, or you can use paper filters. We also do not recommend using soap on any product that the coffee touches.

You can definitely use the filter that came along with the coffee maker. But to escape the hassle of washing the filter after every use, people mostly use paper filters which are available in all grocery stores and supermarkets. Use any grounded coffee of your choice - ground it yourself or buy one from market. Enjoy your Coffee!

You can use the filter that comes with it, however it needs to be rinsed each time you use it with soap and water. I don't use it at all. I use a paper filter.

I don't think you have to use a filter but I do. I don't like those little grinds at the bottom of my cup. I'm not the biggest coffee drinker but I use Folgers.

For the second part.. any coffee is fine. It does a fine job on any. You may want to use a bit less than normal. Tends to make maximum use of the coffee.

We bought this sometime ago. The answer is yes, you can use a paper filter and your own coffee. It is a little awkward and you have to be sure to not use too much coffee, but it works. We haven't found filters to fit the little basket, so we cut the bigger ones to size. We aren't coffee drinkers so we only use it for company and it works fine for us. If you would be using it daily I think you can purchase the necessary basket and filter. But the machine works great and we use it at least once or twice a month every month and January through March we use it daily.

You can use it either way. If you do not use a paper filter it has a few grounds in the coffee but still tastes great.

No, paper filters are not needed, the stainless steel basket that holds the coffee works well without a paper filter. I suppose if you used a real fine grind you might need a filter, but I have been using mine for 5 years and never had a problem.

I don't but some of the fine grounds get into the coffee. For me I don't mind, I have tried using paper filters and the cost just made me consider buying a prefilled k-cup. I hope this helps!

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)

No it does not require filter paper. It is a mesh cup. This little coffee maker makes a great strong cup of coffee, better than a Keurig. Just remember to unplug it after use. I like it because I could make a cup as needed. It looks flimsy but it really work, for the price; give it a try.

hello there,as a matter of fact, i do use paper filters, in order to acquire stronger coffee. but be careful not to fully load water, since it will not be able to brew it (paper filter delays brewing). usually i fill it with 2-4 cups of water and it brews o.k. give it a try and i am at your disposition for any further information. thanks a lot, christina mavraganis.

Paper filters are not needed, though you will get a few fine grounds in the bottom of the cup. Also, this cup works best if you don't don't grind the coffee too fine. Some pre-ground coffee doesn't work too well because it is ground too fine.

You can use paper filters but you don't need to. The stainless drum has fine holes in it that strain the juice just fine. This juicer is wonderful, but takes a lot of cleanup.

I just buy Folgers or Maxwell House or whatever Ground coffee. There is a metal filter basket. I do not buy the paper filters but there are some available, I just throw the coffee out when it gets to the dregs.

Yes, you need to purchase either paper #4's or the gold metal mesh filter to sit inside the coffee holder. Great machine for the money.

some grocery stores or hardware stores carry this; also places like Williams Sonoma. However, if you wish a personal opinion, I definitely prefer paper filters, as the permanent ones impart a metal flavor to the coffee or the taste of the soap used to clean it.

Susan,No coffee filter is required. See this short intro at youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbxWE4TSPvk

None. There is a plastic basket inside where you can put your coffee. I never used a filter but suppose if you get a really small one it might help if some of the grounds, if small, escape into the coffee pot.

The filter is built in. Where you put the coffee in the machine it is a holder with tiny little holes in it. Doesn't use a paper filter if that's what you wanted to know. Yes it is a part of the actual percolator. Hope that helps...BTW this thing makes a GREAT cup of VERY HOT coffee!

We just put a paper filter into the "basket" for our coffee. The coffee maker has a lift out brown plastic basket that uses paper filters. I tried buying a "metal mesh" permanent filter but it did not fit correctly in the coffee maker. It was a Hamilton Beach brand filter. Amazon was very willing to refund our money for it. We are perfectly happy with the paper filters.
