2 Questions: Do these require the use of an additional paper filter? Has anyone used these successfully with cocoa, cappuccino & cider mixes, or teas?

They do not REQUIRE the paper filters, however, you do get a very small amount of coffee "debris" in the bottom of your cup, which is so small it is not a problem for either my husband or myself. I have not tried using them for anything other than coffee. Hopefully, someone else can answer your question concerning the other items.

No paper required. I imagine you could use anything else in them, but I have not. Just coffee.

I have only used these with coffee but I would definitely use them with other cocoa etc. I purchased two large cans of my favorite Tim Horton's coffee and I fill 12 reusable cups at a time. After emptying them out, I rinse them and put them into my dishwasher on the top shelf. So much money saved. Newest and best refillable cup yet.

No additional paper filter needed. I have use them for tea & it worked great! Haven't tried them on coco or cider yet but see no reason why it wouldn't work.

You don't need another filter, haven't tried them with anything other than coffee

These do not require a paper filter, just fill, usually a good scoop, but you can adjust to your preference after experimenting. I tap out the grounds after use and rinse well and air dry. I have used loose tea, but generally put a t bag in the cup and use the hot water. Any of the other mixes would either need to be purchased k-cups or do the same as for the tea. These are wonderful cups, have used the same ones for over a year.

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!

hello there,as a matter of fact, i do use paper filters, in order to acquire stronger coffee. but be careful not to fully load water, since it will not be able to brew it (paper filter delays brewing). usually i fill it with 2-4 cups of water and it brews o.k. give it a try and i am at your disposition for any further information. thanks a lot, christina mavraganis.

Are you inserting the filter in a plastic filter cup or directly in the machine? We use ours in a filter cup and have never had a problem. They work great with our own ground coffee.

I use the make-your-own pod papers for filters. 2 for 1- top then bottom separately. Makes it easy to empty. I now also make up pods to use in the loose coffee drawer. No messing with dragging it all out & measuring first thing in the morning. Keep them sealed in a container & can even freeze or refrigerate if you want to retain freshness.

There is no filter- do you perhaps mean the capsules? I have seen some refillable ones on Amazon, as well as some foil closures that say they enable you to reuse the capsules bought from Nespresso. Unfortunately I have not yet tried either.

no filters necessary. I also bought the plastic ones and actually like them better. They are also cheaper. Brew and Save Refillable K Cup for Keurig Brewers, 2 Count by Brew & Save

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.

I ended up using these bottles without the filters because they were too hard to squeeze when the filters were in. I do, however, us a Brita water pitcher to filter our tap water, and it's made a huge difference in the amount of hard water stains in our pod-style coffee maker and our pets' water bowl. Hope that helps!

Using a one:one machine too. Was ordering unbleached replacement pod filters, but site is no longer available.Would like to know if these filter pads work with the one:one myself. the prefilled Senseo coffee pods work fine.

Sorry, the only thing I have used them with is a single cup funnel type maker. They are however a very strong, good quality filter.

I have used these lids for several months now and they work just fine. Do not try to use lid more than once or you will have grounds get through. You may have to watch to make sure when putting than on that it is evenly and completely snapped in place. I wash out my pods and rinse the filter gently then let dry for 24-48 hours before refilling them and inserting lid. Depending on the quality of the pods filter, one can reused pod 3-5 times before the filter becomes too week. Some pods are tighter than others and may crack preventing multiple use. If you get filterless pods as in cider or some use instant coffee methods, you can also buy insertable filters from this company too. Hope this helps!

We called the company with the same question, but got no answer. I do know the new filters take longer to filter the water bc they accumulate air pockets. We were told to tap the sides to dislodge the air bubble, but found it easier to disspell the air by punching small holes in the top screen and THEN tapping the sides, They still make the best filters for excellent Keurig coffee makers. I'm guessing when I say the reason is probably to use less plactic. I wish they would start a recycling program. Like a dollar off your next order for each filter returned, along with free shipping to return them. I also wish there was a way to recycle the coffre cups. From what I've read, they've become a landfill blight.

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.

I use Melita single serve coffee filters for Javajig. They are not reusable and tiny little paper filters like the big ones used is large coffee makers for ground coffee. I find it much easier to dump out and it does catch most of the grounds. I found at grocery store a small red & green box of 60 filters and they have them on Amazon. I've also used the paper filters people use who make their own coffee pods and they are on amazon as well and called Coffee Pod Replacement filters by Easy Pack. They are a little paper filter with a connected lid that opens and closes. I have found both these type of paper filters work great for ground coffee in the Bunn My Café MCU. I use both types .

If you mean the cone shaped Melita type filter, then no those will not work with this. While it is touted as having a "commercial grade permanent basket filter" so no paper filter is required note that it will accept a standard 8-12 Cup basket filter such as is used on Mr. Coffee, Black & Decker etc. The Bunn sized basket filters are too big. Just a regular Mr. Coffee sized one will work. On mine I get too much sediment using just the permanent filter, your results may vary depending on the grind used. With the paper filter lining the permanent filter inside it makes cleaning the basket much easier also. It is a great coffee maker and makes an outstanding brew. Next best thing to a commercial Bunn. In fact it has features a Bunn Commercial Pour-Over doesn't and uses tons less electricity.

I don't understand your question - could you please be a bit more specific and I will be happy to respond. I did purchase one of these for my coffee make and I just love it - no more paper filters :-)
