does the filter basket fit snuggly in the coffee pot or does it have room to wiggle and move around?

We have found that the basket fits very well. Our coffee pot gets used at least once per day. You might want to also order an extra glass bulb or two for the top because we had to replace ours after about a year of use. We are very happy with our purchase. HIGHLY recommended.

The filter basket assembly is held snugly to the pot by a perforated metal cover disc which fits over basket cover.

The basket can move around. But once you put the top of the basket on, it fits snuggly. The glass top will fall off, so be careful not to lose it.

No experience in that subject, but just reviewing the coffee maker my answere is no. The bottom of the filter basketis designed to not only activate brewing but provides the ability to remove the coffee pot during brewing and stop thebewing procedure. Without the basket in place; a mess at worst, no colffee at all in the least.

Hello, no I tried the k-cups and they don't fit. Had to open them up and dump the coffee in the little basket. Other than that I love the little thing; it's easy to use and clean and as I keep a stockpile of large containers of ground coffee, we use less and waste less so I consider it a good deal.

I'm able to squeeze a regular mug (3 3/4 inch high) under filter basket. If you need to, take the tray out for a larger mug.

You have to slide the espresso carafe from the left or right [depending on the position of the espresso carafe lid] of the filter holder for the carafe to fit around the filter holder spouts. This of course is without the two-cup adapter on the filter holder!

It's the width , ie. from left to right on the sink . And it's light enough weight to easily lift , push in the expanders and use on the counter. It holds a fairly substantial coffee carafe and all its components easily . I love the thing!

The basket is easily removable. We almost never use ours, with the basket in, as we drink mostly coffee from it.

I bought a "standard" size 4 gold filter from Bed Bath Beyond and it just barely fits into the existing brewer basket (where the paper filter would sit). I tried using the gold filter with the existing brewer basket AND without using the removable brewing basket. Without the basket, the coffee drains faster and doesn't steep as long, so could effect coffee taste.

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.

the basket is pretty easy to clean because the holes on it are too small for tea to clog in them. The lid fit pretty well but the basket is a bit oversized and wobbly. still, not much steam will be let out.

Monsieur Jimmy, DW-12's are very esoteric and can present a significant fit problem. I don't know that this basket will solve your particular coffee issue. I'm going to suggest you delve a bit deeper into research on this one. Research never fails to pay handsome dividends. Sincerely, Charles...

Yes. Fits snuggly, but works. I was not happy with drip rate. Drilled two more holes to increase. Works well. Ok with one hole, if you're not in a big hurry for your coffee. Pour some hot water into carafe to warm it up before you make the coffee. Keeps coffee hot for several hours.

No, the coffee grounds stay in the filter basket. As for paper filters, I've always used Bunn filters and never had a problem with the grounds overflowing in them either.

I have no problem with this. The arm that pivots over the coffee basket puts some pressure on the basket and the top cover snaps shut and holds the basket in its most downward position. This creates interference with the coffee pot and the valve on the bottom of the basket, permitting the valve to be in the open position position and letting the coffee flow. When the pot is removed, the valve closes and shuts off the flow. Take the empty basket, fill it partway with water and manually operate the valve on the bottom of the basket and note if it operating properly or perhaps it is broken.

You have to position the basket correctly so that it is flush inside and the handle folds flat. Make sure it's turned the right way or you will never get it to sit properly. When you put the carafe underneath, you may have to jiggle a bit, but it fits. Personally, I have a small issue with the lid staying OPEN long enough to put the coffee in. Minor problem, as I do like the Frigidaire.

I use paper filters with the basket because if you didn't the coffee grounds would pour through with the coffee. I prefer not to drink the grounds! :)
