I have misplaced my filter basket for my 4 cup Cuisinart. Can this filter be used without the basket?

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.

Unfortunately, no it cannot. The basket is necessary to both hold the gold filter in place as well as to direct the water into the pot.

I used 'Cuisinart DCC-450 4-Cup Coffeemaker with Stainless-Steel Carafe'. I lost the filter basket ,so I cannot use paper filter anymore. I bought this filter to use without basket. It works good. I love it very much. Very easy to clean up.

I suggest visiting the Cuisinart web site to see which item they recommend as a replacement. My coffee maker had two removable pieces, one that was a basket that holds the coffee in a paper filter, and the other directed the water to the cup. The basket fit into the other piece. The basket broke and for my coffee maker (Two 2 Go), the GTF-4 basket fit perfectly. I am able to use it with paper filters, even though I don't have to (easier cleanup).

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.

You have to buy the FRAME for these filters. That frame sits on your filter basket ONLY with the Mr Coffee that has the drip spout that sits over the basket. Mr. Coffee WF10 Water Filter

I believe the filter you need (if you wish to use one) is called the "Basket Filter." I know the unit comes with it's own metal filter but I find them messy to empty and clean, and I also believe that the paper filters contribute to a better tasting brew.

The instruction booklet lists using a Mr. Coffee 4-cup paper or permanent filter in the replacement basket. So, I would say yes.

Yes you can either put a filter into the slot where your splitter basket would go, or you can get the easy to use the Hamilton Beach 80675 Permanent Gold Tone Filter, which makes your pot easier to clean than simply using the paper filter alone in the slot.

It should fit any basket that holds a 4 cup paper filter. And it does a MUCH better job! :-)

None. There is a plastic basket inside where you can put your coffee. I never used a filter but suppose if you get a really small one it might help if some of the grounds, if small, escape into the coffee pot.

Mine does have a removable filter basket, but I still use my organic coffee filters.

If you want to use filters (which you do not need), you can take three regular filters and poke them through the hole in the plastic filter so that each one covers approximately one third of the basket. Make each hole off center. Three cover the basket very well.

What do you mean by filter basket? Do you mean the gold permanent filters? If that was your question then no it does not. If your question is about the standard filter holder that every coffee maker comes with then the answer is yes.

Yes, the Medelco GF214CB #4 Cone Permanent Golden Coffee Filter sold here on Amazon will fit if you remove the plastic handle from the coffee maker basket, i.e. the part the paper filters lie against. The handle interferes with the mesh filter seating properly but you really don't need it. You'll mostly be using the handle on the mesh filter since that's what you'll be removing to dispose of grounds. This link should work: Medelco #4 Cone Permanent Coffee Filter

yes, a filter basket is included. I don't use the filtration system either. No complaints about the pot....

of course you can, in fact I never use the permanent filter as I think it is a pain to have to dump the grounds then having to wash the basket out, paper filters in my opinion are better with no mess! but then again there are a lot of people who like the permanent filter basket, I just happen to not be one of them, it is your personal choice, hope this helps.

You don't really NEED a filter if your coffee is "percolator ground," which is a coarser grind than you would use for an automatic or drip coffee maker. The larger pieces won't go through the holes in the basket. BUT, if you prefer to use a filter or if your coffee is a finer grind, then you can really use any paper filter and cut it to size, as needed.

I recommend you buy similar but the Cuisinart brand specifically designed for 4 cup. Amazon lists it for $6.80. GTF-4 Goldtone filter. Very great to use!

No basket with mine, but I have one from an old steamer than fit it, so this was not a problem. Works great overall.
