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.

I really don't know. I bought because the paper filters kept flipping over and letting grounds into my coffee. I have continued to use the paper filters with the basket.

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.

None. You can use it for about a month. You move the filter ring around so when you know when to change it. But actually I never kept up with it and used it until I felt the filter needed changing again. I have changed coffee pots since I bought these filters but to answer you question the filters fit right in and work like a charm. You can see when the filter needs changing. I think a month and 1/2 and then a change. If I was still using the same coffee maker I would have kept buying these filters. too easy not to. Enjoy your coffee

inside basket to put the coffee in. Some use filters inside the filter basket. We don't

Yes, the grinds will go in the basket-instead of the top grinder. I do love the coffeemaker, but suggest paper filters over the gold permanent one as if not the coffee will be weak. With the paper I use the same amount we did in all other machines we have owned!

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

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.

JJ,I just measured the filter basket for the A10 and it is exactly 3 1/2" high. The distance between the plate where the basket slides in and the top of carafe is 4". So there is a 1/2" space between the bottom of basket and carafe top when set in place. Hopefully the height of the HG basket is within this range.I have looked on several Bunn supplier websites searching for a s/s basket of this size, but no luck. If the HG basket fits these measurements, let me know the model number. Thanks for the info...- Jeff

Any rugular large basket filter will fir this coffee maker. The standard large basket filters sold at most supermarkets will fit.

The plunger fits snug. If you have too much grounds in the pot, it doesn't allow the plunger to go down all the way thus the lid does not lay securely on the lip. I have several Frieling coffee presses and don't any issues. They're the best.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but I'll give it a try. The filter on the rim of the lid is simply a group of open slots. The coffee would have to be VERY coarsely ground to be strained by these openings. The rim of the lid is solid all around except for that group of open slots. The lid can be turned so that the slots are not in play, but there is no fully open area on the rim. Hope this doesn't confuse you further.

I have a small Rival one cup coffeemaker. If the basket size on the HB model is like mine then no, the JavaJig filters are too small. The JavaJig filters fit into a small cup not much larger than a KCup that pops into a Keurig machine. I just use a regular basket paper filter on my single brewer and fold the excess over the edge before I put the lid down to brew.

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.

There is almost 3.5 inches of clearance from the tray to the filter basket. Normal coffee mugs need to be tipped to get under the basket, so I have been using a small steel pitcher which fits better.

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.

The strainer kind of snaps into place in each funnel. It is not the most secure fit, but if you don't bang the funnel around or drop it, it stays in place and does its job.
