Important compatibility notes

  • The booklet specifies a "#4 paper filter" and, in its safeguards, a "standard cone-shaped paper filter".
  • Use either a paper filter or the permanent filter, not both: the booklet lists using them together as a cause of overflow.
  • Cuisinart warns that other gold-tone permanent filters may cause this coffee maker to overflow.
