Could I put this inside my Melita cone? I use #2 filters.

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.

We use a larger Melita at our cabin. When making coffee I sure wouldn't want to make it the way you are saying, but if you do not have anything except the cone, glass carafe and a cup I guess you could try. (Perhaps try it sometime before)

I have a cartridge filter, so I place it inside the filter cartridge. If you have a sand or DE filter then you'll need to get the Nature2 system which has the external container (and an extra filter hose). Hope this helps.

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

This Filter Cone has four holes and the diameter of the bottom is 4 3/4". I use #4 Melitta paper filters. I hope this answers your question.

Yes you can but rinse it really good before you put it in there. And it's more brown then black, which really bothered me, so Fyi in case you want a certain color substrate. You can definitely add more but rinse it very good or it will make your tank look like crap and clog your filter.

I had number 4's on hand and use those. They are larger than the Melitta (taller) but work just fine. Logic dictataes that #2's would be smaller, so they should work. Good luck!

Yes you can , it fit best in chamber 2 will spit loads of micro bubbles for a while till it breaks in but works excellent

Yes, I believe it uses the larger cone-type "Mellita" style filter. Much easier for cleanup.

I can't swear to it but a number of on-line retailers state that Melitta plastic cones are BPA free. I am not sure it would matter in a filter cone.

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. with the cone shaped filters, you can make a small or larger quantity. good luck.

I have a metal filter and it's much too small for this. If you have a metal filter that is about the same size as a two cup paper filter (the top of your filter should be no more than 4 inches across), then it will probably work, but most metal filters are designed for four cups.

I haven't tried standard cone filters in this dripper. That being said, I'm not sure they would fit. Standard cone filters are flat across the bottom, and the V60 is designed for a a cone filter with a point. These filters are not very expensive (5-10¢ each). Sticking with the V60 filters are your safest bet.

Paulette: Yes, a #2 cone filter is required. I prefer the brown filters over the white - they seem a bit heavier & allow less residue. Family tradition "requires" that I use 7 level scoops for 4 cups of full flavored coffee! Are we nut cases? - probably, but four generations can't be all wrong. Enjoy!

I have used mine in a therapure filter based on my experience it should be okay to try it. Make sure the builb is not touching any part of the unit. Keep an eye on it for the first 24 hours.

Yes, we do. Pages 4-5 of the owner's manual says that "#4 cone-shaped filters must be used." We've been using ours for about 6 wks. with the paper filters and have had no problems.
