Are these paper filters treated with chemicals? I want to find toxic free coffee filters, hopefully, this is the one!

I can't be certain about chemicals, what I do know is that they are NOT bleached and the filters don't smell at all. I like them. Maybe you could write to Hario to find out.

I don't know. If it doesn't say so on the package, then I probably would be skeptical. I had to send my Hario plastic cone to recycling recently as it was showing stress cracks or streaks and I figured had outlived its life. How non-toxic can a plastic cone filtering device be anyway and for how long? Still better than using an electric coffee maker. I use Melitta plastic cones and No.2 brown paper filters now. Hope this info helps you.

They're not treated with chemicals the papers are whitened using an oxidizing agent that not toxic or harmful. That's why it doesn't leave a taste behind.

It has been some time since I purchased this, but I seem to remember that it is set for paper filters and I ordered elsewhere a permanent gold-like filter. I am completely satisfied with this coffee maker.

Yes. The permanent filter is preferable to paper for the neutral effect on taste. I can taste a paper filter now. Been using the metal filter for years (this is my 2nd machine). With reasonable care should last indefinitely.

I always use paper filters with this coffee maker, as I have done with previous coffee makers with permanent filters. Permanent filters will never be able to filter out the very small coffee grounds.

Filters are necessary. Paper towels likely have recycled content you wouldn't want in coffee.

Yes, they sell paper filters that are ok... plus they have plastic ones which I use , put the ground coffee inside but don't use the lid that comes with it... works great...

I have not tried, I actually like the permanent filters better. It looks as if you can though, the basket that holds the filter looks very similar to an older Mr. Coffee that I used to have that used paper filters, just deeper. Don't know if that would cause a problem though.

Sorry for the delayed response. You already know they're paper, but I want to share a tip. Instead of filling the press with water and have the first part dribble out weak or turn it upside down and mix it then add the filter and bottom piece after like some suggest, I've found that just by adding a little water and making it like a paste, then adding the rest of the water keeps it from trickling out sooner than those of us who like strong coffee would like.

I only use the bunn filters. You can purchase them at most grocery store for a few bucks. The bunn filters are taller than most other brands, using an off brand cause grounds in my coffee:)

Do NOT be fooled. You still need to use a Paper coffee filters in this basket. There is a certain type of Unhealthy oil material that comes off of All coffee..Only the coffee filter can catch it.If you notice with this is sold separate, Melitta 628354 Disc Coffeemaker Filters - Pack of 2 (200 Filters total)by Melitta ...Btw Dr. Oz talks about the need for coffee filters all the time even if your coffee pot comes with the mesh, or percolator , for a good reason.

no metal filter only those small plastic ones are available. I made my own paper filters, put coffee in reg coffee filter, then fold tightly and you got it.

For Yes I need to put paper filter because some of the coffee is not filter from the hole and so the coffee you drink have coffee fiber on it, but its up to you weather u like to put the paper filter or not its ok by me because I use it with or without the paper filter

Ooops, sorry. The company got back to me the same day and I forgot to post the answer here. Copied and pasted from their response. "The filter paper we use is made of natural components, the primary component is abaca (manila hemp). We've gotten many requests such as yours recently, so we had our Technical Director contact our filter paper supplier and this is what she has found: In checking with our filter paper supplier, they use a TCF (Totally Chlorine Free) bleaching process, one that is recognized as a global standard in processing of wood pulps for the food industry .Response to Epichlorohydrin inquires: All filter paper tea bag types used for Newman's Own Organic Teas are safe for direct food contact. They have all been tested for epichlorohydrin / 3-MCPD residues to ensure that they meet FDA regulations for materials in direct contact with food. Recent testing by an outside lab shows epichlorohydrin is non-detectable in the filter paper."

Yes, they are Basket Filters. I use them with a little 4-cup "Mr. Coffee" coffee machine. The filters are made of textured paper.

Also, there are paper filters that you can use to put your own coffee into. Then throw the filters away.

I am not sure how long I have had mine, but never replaced filters in the past. I wash them after each use. I purchased this one because I changed coffee makers.

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.
