Can you use regular coffee filters with this? Or does it have to be the Melitta kinds

Yes, you can use regular coffee filters with this maker, but it's A LOT more difficult. I can't seem to find melitta #6 filters anywhere, but they do sell melitta #4 at Walmart. The #4 filters are cone filters just like the #6, only a bit smaller. #4s are cheap and you just can't pour quite as much coffee in at one time.

How wide is the bottom of the dripper ( part that goes in the carafe)? I would like to be able to drip the coffee directly into a thermal carafe.

That will likely not work and be to wide-depending on the size of your carafe. However, Melitta makes a smaller filter that is designed to fit travel mugs/ carafes.... I have both big and small and they are both excellent!

Amazon offers this through their Subscribe & Save program. Does it really break that easily or need to be replaced that often?

They are, in fact, surprisingly strong, much stronger in fact than other coffee carafes I've used. I've broken literally only one in the 30+ years I've been using them, and that I when I accidentally knocked it rather hard, squarely into the sink faucet. Of course, if you drop it on the floor, it will probably break (and personally, I'd replace it anyway since they're cheap and I'd be concerned about a stress fracture happening sooner rather than later.)

How does it work? I put the coffee in the top (in a filter) and then I pour over all ten cups of hot water at once? Does the top hold ten cups?

We have used this maker for about 15 yrs now. We heat the water to 180*, pour it over freshly ground coffee, and the savor the taste of the best coffee around. As I’m pouring the water into the cone, I fill it and the stir the coffee around. I fill our thermos directly and the maybe a coffee cup or two with the remaining water. I buy a case of the filters from Amazon. Good luck and enjoy the best coffee around.
