A:AnswerI just purchased this a couple months ago. This 4 cup model does not come with the gold filter. I do know of a 5 cup version that does. But this 4 cup does not. You can buy a gold filter separately. I was disappointed to see the 4 cup doesn’t come with one. But that’s my fault for not reading the contents included on the outside of the box. I assumed it did. Never assume. Lol.
A:AnswerI have not personally seen a white one. The manual for this model shows a white one on the cover; however it isn't programmable like the black one.
