This is a very valid question, indeed! Before answering the question, however, let's talk about why you might wish to use the Technivorm Brew Basket with Manual Drip-Stop. There are really two potential reasons you may wish to use a different basket with the Technivorm Grand:
- You want to brew less than a full pot of coffee
- You want to use normal #4 filters rather than purchasing the Technivorm Grand flat bottom filters
