Do regular #4 basket paper filters fit, or some other size? (Thanks one and all for your replies.)

I just use the Mr. Coffee 12 cup basket style filters. I punch a hole in it and push down in the coffee stem. It works wonders.

I use the 8-12 cup basket style filters. They fit just fine, but I do have to cut a slit in the center of the filter in order for it to fit over the percolating stem. It just takes a second to do with a pair of scissors. I cut a small X shape and thats all there is to it.

I don't use filters. I use Maxwell House Original Blend.After light comes on I wait 5 min in case there are any grounds floating around.I supose you would call this the old fashioned way but it works,better taste.

this is the one I use and it fits perfectly in the bottom. The filters don't have any measurements on the package because I just looked but, the picture of them on Amazon (see link) say they are 3 1/2 inch. 1 X Melitta - 3.5" Disc Coffee Filter

My favorite filters for this percolator are the "Disc coffee filters" which are a small paper circle with a hole in the middle - it fits on the bottom of the coffee basket to keep grounds from going through, and I put a second one on top to keep them from floating out the top - however my husband only uses one . It works very well, easier than the complicated folding filters designed to go into percolators. The disc filters are usually available in the supermarket.

I use regular 12 cup coffee filters and push center over the basket so there's a hole and fill. Works great and cheap.

I haven't had to use filters. I find that little or any coffee grounds escape the basket.

I use a 8-12 cup size filter and that works, might also be the same size as a regular #4 filter. Just punch a small hole on the middle. :)

By the way, some folks have mentioned grounds in their coffee. I used to buy the little round percolator filters at Kroger, but haven't seen them in a while, so I just cut little circles out of the basket-type filters I already had, folded them in quarters, snipped a little bitty hole in the point and - voila! Coffee filters that really work!!

We've used all kinds, even cone shaped filters work by just pressing down, the rod will poke a hole through the paper and then just use your fingers to gentle circle and press the filter down. A few grounds may get through but they stay in the basket. The more important thing is to remove the basket and rod within 5 min. after perculation completes.

A few weeks ago I would have had the answer. Threw the old filters away (don't have part number). Just get the measurements from your old filters and match them up with the new and you will be fine.

You really don't need a certain size filter. I use regular size filters by folding them to fit. Works for me!

I use paper filters for easy clean up but the mesh is sufficient on its own. Paper filters fit right into the mesh basket.

Ours did not come with the separate filter basket but yes you can use paper filters.

These are the 20115.0000 filters. I have ordered them and confirmed. The description matches the Bunn description. This website might help with confusion about the many types available from Bunn. https://commercialcatalog.bunn.com/category/Commercial-Catalog-US/PARTS-ACCESSORIES/PAPER-FILTERS

If your measurements are 20 inches in length, 7 inches in diameter, with a 3 inch hole in the center,you should be good to go. These were replacements, for the original filters, and they have held up very well.

There is an "actual" size and a "nominal" size. I ran into this concept when I ordered filters. Yes, I believe they will fit. Mine did.

Yes, but I found the round filters still to be too small for my canister, which I bought last year. Can't find the right replacement filters.

If you currently use smaller paper basket type filters in your coffee maker, this filter is bigger in diameter. Not much bigger, probably an inch or two. If you use a large filter than the normal coffee filters available, this basket filter will suit you. It is a commercial size filter which is larger than the smaller filter baskets used in small capacity coffee makers. If you currently use a smaller filter, they are also cheaper than the bunn 1000 filters.

No, you sure don't. Regular basket style filters work fine. The Bunn filters are expensive but are a little deeper. I have no problems with standard one's.

I'm not sure about that model, but being that it's a 4-cup maker, I'd suggest that it would fit because the basket is designed for that size. Just be aware that if it has the cone-shaped filter, it won't fit.

meaure the disposable filter you have in the unit. That will be the size you need.

Go to their web site filteryourlife.com they are now offering a size that is 25% small, I have had no trouble with the original ones and my husband and I both can use them, but I might try the smaller ones for myself.

Sorry for the delay in my answer to your question of Dec. 30th. I had to buy new filters myself. If this helps, the dimensions are 6" w x 3 1/4-3/8" h x 1 1/2" d. Good luck!

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

Basket filters do not have numbers, any basket style 10-12 cup filter will work.
