Can you use this coffee maker without the Capresso filters? I already filter my water.

The capresso is not going to last , buy a cuisinart I did after returning 2 crapessos in 3 months cuisinarts have lasted me 3 years in the past.

Not sure but my advice is not to waste your money. This was one of the worse coffee makers I had ever bought and ended up returning it as no matter how many tunes I cleaned it, the coffee always had a " machine" taste. Save your money!?! Go for a Keurig

I think you can use either. We have had our Capresso a little over a year and we love it. coffee has never been so nice and hot.

Yes, you can. You don't need any specific brand filter, but you need a cone filter to keep the coffee out of the carafe.

You do not need an additional filter for this product. You spoon the coffee directly into the K-cup (I use 2 Tbsp) and brew.

For the short time I used this coffeemaker, I used it without the filter. My home water is filtered by a better system than any coffeemaker filter could provide, so I wouldn't buy any coffeemaker that insists on using their filter as a condition for the appliance working.

It has a filter basket so it doesn't need a filter.... the filter basket is small and dome shaped so a 'pod' filter (the kind with coffee already in it) might fit, but not a 'traditional' filter.. even a smaller size.

I have not encountered any problems with my Capresso. Not exactly sure of your question. Just a few thoughts that may be of help. If water is not coming down from the tank into carafe, make sure no objects or inside the tank blocking the process, such as a bean. Check to make sure the filter system is in correctly or remove it. Finally, contact Capresso. I have had a number of Capresso brew/grinders from them and they have always taken care of any issue I had. Which was usually me causing the problem, lol. As to all grinds not being water infused, don't forget to adjust the grind (at container) to coarse if using darker oilier beans. Or reduce the aroma level which will grind just a little less for the cup setting. I know I sound like an ad, but don't give up on this coffeemaker. We love coffee and this is the best machine out there for the price. A plus is the easy clean up. I am not a strict coffee afficianado, so I do use a paper filter.

I ran a cycle of water through mine before I used it. Just to rinse it out. Coffee tastes great.

Mine came with a few filters too. It takes a smaller filter than a normal size coffee pot but you could probably get the bigger ones to work.

The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use. I do not prefer to, just because (for me) it is easier to use the smaller (non-conical shaped) paper filters. I have been known to 'toss' out the mesh one into the trash forgetting that I had used that instead of the other ... Be Aware of which one you are choosing to use that day, if not always! Personally, I prefer the small paper filter liners - Not a Cone Shaped! The coffee is, although, just a bit richer if you do choose the permanent filter as your option. It is because of my mistakes that I am 'safer' with the filters! The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use.

My Capresso is on route to me. I bought an additional filter because we intend to brew 4.5 cups at 5am and then 2 cups at 8:30AM so need another clean/dry filter second brew. No time to clean and dry first one. We do that now with are regular drip coffee maker.

Hello, this coffee maker has removable cup, no filters needed but it's very different to one I just to had, this one has a plastic lid that I don't know how it goes and the only time that I used all coffee grounds come inside the coffee, oh well I guess I need the manual.M.

Hi Ms. Cohen, I have filtered water also, but I still use the Mr. Coffee water filters. It seems to give my morning coffee a less bitter taste. I change the Mr. C filter every 30 days. I hope this helps you.

No filters are needed. Great tasting coffee & it brews quickly! I just love this product!

I don't but some of the fine grounds get into the coffee. For me I don't mind, I have tried using paper filters and the cost just made me consider buying a prefilled k-cup. I hope this helps!

Just the filter is enough. I use only paper filters (without the "real" filter), I don't know why! I use either Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. Enjoy! It is a great little coffee maker.

I don't think you have to use a filter but I do. I don't like those little grinds at the bottom of my cup. I'm not the biggest coffee drinker but I use Folgers.

No, paper filters are not needed, the stainless steel basket that holds the coffee works well without a paper filter. I suppose if you used a real fine grind you might need a filter, but I have been using mine for 5 years and never had a problem.
