All it will do is compress the coffee, and so even if it is too small, just move it about. Its hard to know what size without having the basket directly in front of you. You could just contact Mr. Coffee though, and ask. Maybe they do one that fits the machine perfectly. I haven't seen one however.
But just measure the basket, and see what size fits. Make sure you buy an aluminium/steel one, not plastic.
