Dear Lynne, You can use cone filters in the coffeemaker, not cupcake ones. It actually comes with a gold filter which you can use if you don't want to buy paper filters. I have not heard of a 4 cup model. ILA has it through Monday for $69. This does not include shipping, but if you spend $75.00 shipping is free. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lynne To: infoshare@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, November 29, 2009 1:13 PM Subject: [infoshare] questions about the coffee maker Hi, Sharlene. A listener to the podcast has the following questions: "Does it take regular filters or does it take the cone shaped ones? Do they make a four-cup model or just the ten cup one?" Thanks much in advance for your reply, which I shall forward to her. Lynne
