If you buy your own paper filters at the store, is there a certain size to get? I never had the cone-shaped filters before. The manual doesn't say.

I've seen both large and small at the grocery store. The larger size is the correct size for this coffee pot.

I use the #4 Melitta filters and also bought other #4 filters. So I think the magic number is 4.

Good Question! You would need to purchase #4 cone style coffee filters (for 8-12 cup coffee makers). I hope that you find this information helpful.

Some say 1 to 4 cops. Other say all the way up to 12 cops. The small size will work fine up to eight cops. If you are doing more, it probably is best to use the larger size.

I understand your desire for size information. The round filter is 6 1/2 inches in diameter. Too small to stay in place in the pail we have. Had to fashion a internal plastic rim to keep in place. The enclosed square of filter material is 4 7/8ths on a side. (unknown usefulness)

This is a STANDARD 2# COFFEE FILTER. If you buy 2# paper filters for your coffee maker, this would fit correctly. I use a pour-over that requires a 2# size paper filter but prefer 4# because it prevents accidentally getting grounds in your cup.

For the pre-filter to fit any model filter it needs to be cut to size. Its a messy job because tiny pieces from the cut spread easily throughout the work area. After gaining some experience, I made a cardboard templet and using the part of the stick on strips provided, glued them on the templet. I next laid the large floppy pre-filter flat on a large work area and placed the templet w/stick on strips facing the pre-filter on top. This firmed up the pre-filter material making it easier to cut a more accurate duplicate. A lot of work but found it necessary because pre-cut to fit pre-filters seem not to be readily available, well not for my older model filter. All said and done, it works. Good luck with your search for a pre-cut to size. Can't find one, hope this info will helps.

Sounds like you are not putting the filter paper into a "reusable" filter basket If that is what your doing. The paper filter needs to be into the filter basket, do you have one? If not you need to get one

I'm also having this issue. None of the filters here on Amazon seem to be the requisite (approximately) 6-3/4 diameter that would work. Right now I'm thinking I'll buy this larger size Counter Composter Replacement Filters: Large 2 Gallon, and cut it down to the correct size. It may be something that could be purchased elsewhere, but I'm just not finding it on Amazon. It is more than a bit frustrating!

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.

I use a paper filter! To me you need one, I don't get that permanent filter term they use. You need a filter!

Not sure what you're asking. Do you need a replacement cone filter for this model? If so, ereplacementparts.com will probably have it. You don't need to use paper filters with this model, but some people use them anyway for easiest cleanup. If this is what you want, depending on where you live, you can order these online as well. Most grocery stores have them where I live. Hope this helps. I like this coffee maker a lot.

Just a few minutes ago I have tried seven different permanent #4 cone filters. None fit. The only thing that has actually worked is cone shaped paper filters #4.

I buy my filters from filtersfast.com and they carry most sizes. I've bought my filters for both my home and my converted garage, which requires a unusual size of 18x30x1, from them for years and it's a great company with good prices and great customer service so far. I hope you can find what you need with them.

What I did was to go to a hardware store like home depot or lowes and brought a inexpensive large filters and then cut them to fit. One filter makes 4 to 5 small filters after cutting them up. You can even find some in walmart just cut them to fit.

It's #4 size, round at the top and tapering to a narrow line at the bottom -- just like the #4 paper filter.BTW, I've been using this for years now and it works really great. I've never had any problems with it.

Get the Simple Cup filters. They fit good and I use them all the time. I buy the box of 300. Got to get another box. They are thinner than the Melitta Java Jig filters. Cheaper though and work great in the MyCafe cups. I use them all the time. I will get 2 boxes this time.

I don't use cone filters. I use the cheap regular filters that fit in any coffee brewer. Push the filter into the Melitta. Dampen the filter slightly with water to make it stay in place. They work fine.

The photo does look like it has a reusable filter, mine didnt come with one either. What they are showing is the filter basket, dont know why it looks just like a reusable one. To answer your question, I doubt you will find one to fit, the basket shape is a little irregular, not quite symmetrical. I also use cheap #4 paper filters.
