    i have registered my coffee maker re-call for the new basket. I have the ODC440B, however, it also say’s Type 1. Will the new basket fit on the ODC440B ( Type 1 )? Thank You Fran C.

    The new baskets requires a paper filter. I have always used a gold filter and they are to tall to fit under the new safety contraption, and if you vse paper filters it still leaks.

Have something to share?
