Does the 3 cup version come with the wire bail ? Is it conical or straight sided ?

Not sure about this product. I looked at this version but went with the GSI Outdoors Glaicer Stainless Percolator with silicon handle. I needed the extra capacity and it looked much better built. I don't know if the one I got comes in a smaller capacity, but I wanted to make coffee for more than 1 person. When these percolators are measured by "cups" this is a coffee cup, not a measured cup. 3 cups would probably fill maybe my standard morning mug and a bit more. If you are looking at something for 2 or more people to have a couple mugs each I would go for 9 or more cup capacity.

I have had no problems with this. I would send it back. I fill just so I can still see the "whip" for one cup of coffee. It works beautifully.

No it is hinged on one side and is plastic. But still pretty sturdy. I have dropped it and it has dents all in it from clumsy children and abuse and it still works wonderful. I have a big family of 10 and it will do red beans and rice with sausage for all of us and then have to put some away. But can do a small bit. Comes with a little cup but just mix 1 cup of water to 2 cups of rice and it is perfect. Really recommend it, and for the price it cant be beat for what I have done with it.

It has all three...cups and ounces are on that "oval shaped indicator" and on the sides going straight up and down are "ml....oz"

No, it does not. It has a mesh basket that takes ground coffee. I use 2 scoops for 1 avg cup of coffee. This coffee maker makes a perfect hot cup of coffee in about 3 minutes. I love it!. Much cheaper to use, no kcups to buy, don't have to wait for water to heat up. I threw away my keurig coffee maker. Too much trouble.

It comes with one straight connector. You just squeeze it inside the edging opening on each end and it's such a tight fit that it stays snug in there. They sell 90drgree corners too. See my review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3CCPM1UIXEH9F

The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use. I do not prefer to, just because (for me) it is easier to use the smaller (non-conical shaped) paper filters. I have been known to 'toss' out the mesh one into the trash forgetting that I had used that instead of the other ... Be Aware of which one you are choosing to use that day, if not always! Personally, I prefer the small paper filter liners - Not a Cone Shaped! The coffee is, although, just a bit richer if you do choose the permanent filter as your option. It is because of my mistakes that I am 'safer' with the filters! The coffee maker does include a mesh-sided filter of which you can use.

It comes with a basket just like the electric perculators. My problem with it>> I left it on the stove and the stem that holds the perculator melted. they don't have replacement parts for it as far I can tell. But i love the glass. let's you know that's really clean when you make a cup of coffee. The coffee is really tasty too.

I have the 5 qt dutch oven with the handles instead of the bail wire handle and I'm going to go and buy one WITH the bail wire because it's easier to carry and to remove the lid. If you want one without the bail wire just buy the 5 quart that has handles on the side and the lid with matching handles, that doubles as a bowl/skillet. That's the one I use for baking my bread (plus you get a multi functional lid).

this cone has 3 holes... fortunately i kept the old holder with only one hole..it works much better for me.for some reason the filter papers tend to lay on the holes and block the coffee from filtering down into the container. i usually end up holding the filter paper up just a bit on one side then it works just fine...i get tired of this and go back to my old filter holder. when i have guests over i use both holders ...the one with only one hole finishes filtering the coffee before the new one is 1/2 way down.[perhaps i have a defective one ???]

The wire mesh is on all sides, including the lid. However, the bottom does not have mesh. It is open at the bottom.

This Mr. Coffee uses a basket shape rather than the cone shape. I found a supply at both Walmart and Kroger.

I fill my 10 oz cup in less than 3 minutes using a #2 cone. It would be faster but I like to pour slowly and around the edge to make good contact with the grounds. I also agree with the other gentleman that the size of the grind makes all the difference.John

No it does not. It works with regular ground coffee and coffee pods on the single serve side.

I'm not sure what a conical but grinder is. This one has two flat bur surfaces, one stationary the other rotates against it.

The Ready Set Joe single cup cone kit is only the cone. The owner must purchase the no.2 size disposable filters. I compost mine with the coffee grounds after making my cup of joe

I have used standard #4 cone shaped filters in my Chemex over several years of daily use. I simply fold the crimped edges over (bottom and side), and then use normally. Probably 3 times out of 100 you will get a 'blow-out' with grounds going through to the bottom, but for me its worth the convenience of buying filters when I need them at the grocery store vs. special ordering at a higher price + shipping. When we do have a blowout, we just pour the coffee through a small metal strainer when filling the cup. Or if I want that 'camp coffee' feeling I will just decant off the top and chew on the grinds that do come through.
