Yes, paper filters are compatible. Correct placement prevents overflow.
- Rinse the filter basket with water before inserting the dry paper filter. Damp sides help the filter adhere.
- Open the paper filter fully and press it into position against the sides of the basket.
- Ensure no coffee grounds fall between the paper filter and the basket wall.
- Use quality paper filters. Poor-quality filters can collapse or clog.
If overflow occurs with a paper filter, the primary causes are: grounds between filter and basket, filter not fully open, or using too fine a coffee grind. Use medium-ground coffee.
