Is the filter insert piece removable or does it have to stay in the pitcher even after brewing is finished?

After brewing, you remove the basket containing the tea leaves (to stop the steeping process) and put the lid back on for serving. Then you can either re-brew with the leaves (if your tea allows for this, double the steeping time during re-brew) if you're making a double batch of tea, or pitch the leaves and wash the basket out. Super easy!

Hi! The filter is removable plus a little black basket under that. I do clean those and the to clean the machine I run a cycle of diluted white vinegar and then clean water through two more times to keep it all nice and new. I also keep the water basin lid open if its empty and let it dry

It is a permanent metal mesh filter, just like you would have with any French Press. You can also unscrew it from the plunger to wash out any particles of coffee grounds that might go underneath it. It will last as long as the whole press does! Tip: Make sure to grind your coffee coarsely for the best results taste-wise.

Not in the filtered water. A few grains of carbon show up in the top reservoir of unfiltered water, but they do not get into the filtered water in the pitcher.

The filter is an integrated part, that is a permanent piece.Just pull up and out, then rinse let dry and re-insert

If the water is not flowing down into the pitcher, the filter is clogged. If you mean that the filter is stuck to the top, you must turn the filter to remove it. You cannot pull the filter out. You must twist it out. If it is hard to twist it because it is wet, take a dry cloth and hold onto the blue filter and twist it out.

It absolutely can be removed (unscrewed) before adding your ice cubes and additional water. I really, really like this. Have a green one for my husband and a raspberry one for me!

all the parts come out pretty easy, you will not damage it. it does take a little bit of force to pull it all apart but like i said you will not damage it. i have done this several times to clean the pitcher or change out the filter and i did not damage it. hope this helps!

The lid is not removable, it flips open on a hinge while staying attached to the tea maker. The strainer can be popped out by pulling on the little knob that rises out of it. After washing, it can placed back into its seat and needs to be pushed until it it well seated again. That might take a few tries as sometimes one side of the circle goes in while the other side doesn't. You need to have it level and balanced when you push in so that all sides go in and get seated together.

No removable spout filter. It has a series of holes to help slow the water as you pour, but I don't see how a filter would work. I use a filtered water pitcher to provide clean water before heating it.

Mine is kept on the counter. If you instal it under the sink, of which I spoke to the US dealer about, you need to rig up some extra tubes so the spout comes out on top as desired. Essentially though it is not an under the counter model. As filters go I feel it is a great one. This generic non-brand is the same yet half the price of the big branded ones. Flows really well.

On my coffee maker, there is a 5-6" long plastic piece that holds the filter at one end. It goes into the reservoir where you put the water, filter side to the bottom.

It sits open unless you close it. I wouldn't remove it, but it looks like it can be popped off. I like it b/c sometimes the pulp builds up on the external filter screen and I close it to give the juice a minute to filter down. Closing it allows you to keep juicing while controlling the output flow.

Filers screw into the water tank. You keep the water tank (pitcher) and replace the filter.

Yes, it screws off but the threads are on the outside. Some aerators thread on the inside. See if your filter can screw on that way. I don't have a filter on mine.

Yes, the spigot is removable. It is difficult to reach. Small hands would help. Must be very tightly installed or will leak. No idea about the filter bucket attachment.
