This unit has a filter basket that is flat on the bottom. It is compatible with 4-6 cup basket-style paper filters.

It does not come with a permanent filter. It does have a standard filter and you can purchase a permanent filter inexpensively (when compared to paper filter replacement costs) at most supermarkets.

From what we read in the owner's manual, it uses a conical shaped paper filter. But we prefer the mesh screen filter basket that came with it versus the paper filters, the coffee seems to be more flavorfull this way.

I don't use cone filters. I use the cheap regular filters that fit in any coffee brewer. Push the filter into the Melitta. Dampen the filter slightly with water to make it stay in place. They work fine.

This model uses regular flat bottom filters, I buy the standard eight cup size as they are cheaper and easier to find.

I bought the permanent filter, I prerer it. You could use normal paper basket filters as well.

I do not know - I use a melita filter cone which does not fit perfectly but does work.

Yes, I believe it uses the larger cone-type "Mellita" style filter. Much easier for cleanup.

#2 cone filters work fine, they don't fit exact but do the job. All I use. I love this maker. Perfect for the single coffee drinker.

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.

This will likely fit so long as it is a round filter that is called for--- will not fit into one requiring a cone.

We use a #4 (I believe) unbleached Melita cone filter and I fold the very bottom over for a great fit.

No permanent filter. I use an old 5 cup filter which came from a pot I had before.

Cone shaped filters are the only ones that will work correctly. Check the Chemex site for the correct size.

I use a paper filter! To me you need one, I don't get that permanent filter term they use. You need a filter!
