Like my dad used to make his coffee...grinds in the basket, then dump the grinds. I find it easier than dealing with the paper filters that never fit properly, that would occasionally clog and overflow. Better water flow through the grinds.

The shipping cost makes this filter much more expensive than one you can buy at any hardware store. Strangely, only the sides of the filter basket are metal mesh. The bottom is just solid plastic, no doubt saving the manufacturer a few hundredths of a penny. The solid plastic bottom makes cleaning it a little more difficult, too. The hardware store variety has a better flow-through design - metal mesh sides and bottom.

I was very dissatisfied with the shipper's packaging of this product. The retail packaging is simple cardboard box. The seller sent it to me in a PADDED ENVELOPE, which at some point got crushed by the USPS.

The product's plastic framework withstood this treatment and popped back into shape, but the gold-plated metal filter has a dent. So, it's functional and I'm not going to bother returning it.

My issue is that I paid $6.68 to get this shipped to me. So, my $12 coffee filter costs me ~$18.00. I might as well have gone to a Bricks and Mortar establishment to purchase this and gotten an undamaged one for the same price.

This is the same filter that comes with Black and Decker coffee makers. I don't like the plastic bottom because it prevents all the water from draining into the coffee pot and is harder to clean. I plan to buy a replacement that has mesh on the bottom. You can also find some at grocery and hardware stores that have mesh bottoms and they don't cost a lot of money.

The basket filter is easy to clean and much sturdier than the cone shaped filter, which promptly broke within the first week of use. Solid purchase for those who are environmentally conscious - and too forgetful to stay stocked with paper filters (like me).

I have always used the permanent coffee filters. it beats the paper ones getting stuck in between your fingers in the morning when you are half a sleep. the coffee grounds i just dump in the garbage bin and rinse the rest down the the sink (of course they are biodegradeable). I occassionally wash it in the dishwasher or with soap and water and if their is a buildup i soak it in vinegar. They last a long time. Also, helps if you want to save a few pennies. i would say i saved by not having to buy approximately 12 boxes per year of the paper filters. Great product!

Filters all but the finest grinds. Turkish let's a little thru. Well made and easy to rinse. Stores inside of coffee maker. Works for me.

It works very well and is more convenient than paper filters. Shipping was unbelievably expensive and hating paying so much for shipping.
