Can the metal filter from this be used instead of a paper filter in the ceramic v60 dripper?

this filter will not fit into a V60. it has "feet" on it that would get in the way.

Aside from the feet, the handle is attached to the metal filter. This is designed to be used by itself and not to be used inside anything else.

No, you can't. The metal filter is part of the filter and can't be separated. For the ceramic V60 dripper you can only use the paper filter.

No, it has plastic "feet" that protrude on the botton, would not fit. Of course, you could cut them off and try! Maybe the Able Brewing Kone filter would work in the Hario V60. It was designed for Chemex but who knows...

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.

see my comments on this product HOW NOT HAVE TO BUY PAPER FILTERS -unit has two 'filters' one fine metal mesh and other is a paper have to replace filter -----you can avoid replacing paper filters if just punch out original paper filter - replace with cut to fit piece of linen and then place back bracket with fine wire mesh filter - for me it works great , when linen dirty wash dry and place back in machine - NO MORE PAPER FILTERS TO PURCHASE ( if you do replace filters you are basically paying for a new unit with filters every year).

Yes u can. The environment filter is a better filter. The cartridge is the same .

There is a basket to hold Melitta type cone filters or a metal/plastic filter. I only use those Melitta paper filters. Makes great coffee!

The Melitte 64008 Red Ready Joe has only one drip hole in the bottom and is the usual size hole for drip makers. The permanent gold mesh #2 filter fits inside a bit smaller, not snug. The white ceramic holder (I can't remember what it's called but I got it too from Amazon), has 4 holes; the gold mesh #2 filter fits inside about the same as the red plastic; however, I like it better and it didn't cost much more. Unfortunately, you can't see how much water you're pouring into the cup as it has no see-through spaces in the bottom. I still like it better.

You could probably replace the carbon filter with it but not the sediment filter. Make sure it's the right physical dimensions for a good fit, otherwise the water will just flow around it. I'd strongly suggest you research what KDF media is and does. www.kdfft.com/HowItWorks.htm If you want to replace the ceramic prefilter with something better, search Google for: sustainable Hannish NanoAlumina Water Filters

I tried the melitta filters for java jig in the grounds drawer and found several problems. They do fit but they limit the room in the basket making it not possible to use the 20grams of grounds the drawer can fit without the paper filter... This alone is a reason to not use a paper filter in the bunn mcu. Grounds still escape up the sides of the paper filter so cleanup still requires running water through the metal filter...I will continue using the grounds drawer without paper filters as recommended... It makes an excellent cup of coffee.

Yes. The regular size paper filters work just fine and I think they do a better job filtering the coffee grounds than the permanent filter.

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 purchased (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LTOCSG), but am still using the filters that came with the unit. The filters are really only a paper circle, I don't believe you'll find a stainless or ceramic to replace it.

I own a metal filter, and I prefer it over the standard paper. I had to adjust the grind a bit coarser to compensate. Other than that, I've been very happy with it.

There is no paper filter made for it. The opening is so large that most any paper filter would fall down into the coffee. You can try a normal 8-12 cup flat bottom filter and folding it over the edges to see it it stays put. Try a rubber band if not. But it would be much easier to just buy a regular dripper with paper filters than to jury rig some filter arrangement on the Hario. BTW if you think the cloth filter is "too much work" you're probably doing more work than you need to.

I don't think so........ Berkey do a range of stainless steel filters in varying sizes a plastic one too. Sorry I can't be certain.

I use the regular paper filters, never had a problem (I've never used the permanent kind). The paper filters work great. (the round "Mr Coffee" kind, by the way, not the cone shaped ones)

I use paper filters. You have to be careful the paper doesn't fold over because it doesn't fit perfectly. Other than that, I am very happy with the coffee maker.

Basket paper filter. You can use a gold mesh filter but they allow too much sediment to pass into the carafe.
