can you brew with cone filter on top?

Hi, We brew our coffee in the coffee makers regular steel pot then pour the pot full of coffee into this container. You could not brew coffee directly into this container. The container does work very well for its intended purpose of keeping coffee warm for a long time and dispencing it smoothly., Ray

Yes, the Medelco GF214CB #4 Cone Permanent Golden Coffee Filter sold here on Amazon will fit if you remove the plastic handle from the coffee maker basket, i.e. the part the paper filters lie against. The handle interferes with the mesh filter seating properly but you really don't need it. You'll mostly be using the handle on the mesh filter since that's what you'll be removing to dispose of grounds.

I have not tried, I actually like the permanent filters better. It looks as if you can though, the basket that holds the filter looks very similar to an older Mr. Coffee that I used to have that used paper filters, just deeper. Don't know if that would cause a problem though.

Yes you can, that's what I use. I tried the cone filters and didn't like them.

You can choose to use the filter however it works without itt, just a bit of coffee ground is found in the bottom

yes I have put it on top of the grinder (Cone shaped). Must remember NEVER to turn the grinder on with the paper filter in!! Another mess if you forget!

Yes, we use a cone with Melita filters; shortly after we bought it, however, we got a cone that was meant for carafes so we did not have to hold the filter in place as we poured, which regular Meita filters required. .

Sorry, I'm not familiar with this brewer so i don't know about the filters.

You can use any #2 or #4 cone filters, that you can get at the local grocery store. I bought #4 brew-rite from my local WalMart. The reason I bought #4 size is because it fits above the cone and allows you to put more coffee and water without worrying if it is going to run over. I did find that you also need to use boiling hot water if you want your coffee to come out with the right flavor/concistancy.

It does come with a reuseableable cone filter. I use #4 when I have them in the house but when I run out it works fine. I wash it out after each use. It's been several months and I use the pot every day. No problems. I'm not quite sure if the "strong brew" setting does anything or not. I just put in less water and more grounds. Good luck! I would buy it.

No you cannot. The Gold filter is the wrong shape as well. It is a basket shape and not a cone. The saving grace of this strange combo is the coffee maker is excellent.

I'm not sure it's been awhile since I bought it. It takes Cone shaped filters. But the best coffee maker I ever bought, makes great coffee simply and that's it. I bought one for my parent and they love it.

No problem at all.You remove the carafe from the coffee maker, take off the filter cone with the lid on top and replace the lid on the carafe.Because the filter cone is inside the carafe there will never be a mess by dripping coffee onto the hot plate .

From the instructions, no, you put the coffee grounds right into the grey/mesh filter. Put the grey/mesh filter into the white holder. You can buy paper filters to replace the grey/mesh, and I believe there are ones that you insert into the grey/mesh filter for easier cleaning, but it is not required.From what I've read you can also use a paper filter to help slow the brew process, and allow more water grinds contact time, to allow for a stronger cup of coffee. But it is not required, nor does it appear to be recommended.

Yes, the Hamilton Beach model coffee maker uses the cone-shaped 10-12 cup- sized filter

You can use other filters ... just so they are the cone shaped filters; however more Melitta filters are available in this size ... but I am using a Kroger filter at the moment.
