First off, this is a great coffee maker! We were using a Melitta plastic cone after drop-kicking Keurig (best choice ever!), then my wife bought a Kalita Wave 185 Drippers after seeing some favorable reviews/videos. We really love it, but I can’t stand having to buy special filters, especially for $9 (yes, I’m cheap and would rather put my money into good coffee!!).
