Gary, if your filter is just the frame and doesn't have the metal screens you will need either a mesh filter or cloth filter to place into the frame. I have used unbleached, cotton flannel, cut into circles and just punched a hole in the center to put the frame rod through. I also once cut out the gold mesh from a drip permanent filter, using a razor blade and cut it into a circle that fit the frame and punched the necessary hole in the center. This set up really worked better that the wire mesh that Sunbeam provided with their later model Coffeemasters. If you try to just use paper filters with the frame you'll need to use 2 or 3 to keep them from being sucked down with the return to the lower pot. I've also used the mesh filters from a french press pot. Necessity is the mother of invention. Play with it and see what you like best.
