The best answer is the last one: the Erlenmeyer flask is the only glassware that will accommodate a filter funnel. While beakers and other flasks (for example, the Florence flask) may be able to accommodate a filter funnel, it is inefficient and unstable. The perfect partner of the filter funnel is the Erlenmeyer flask.
