Product Description
Frieling Gold Coffee Filter is high quality 19/10 stainless steel, foil-coated with gold tone. The foil is designed with minuscule opening to allow the flavor carriers (colloids) to pass while holding back all solids. Easy to clean, no residue build-up and no waster. Think of foil filters as "smart" filters", they know you want desirable flavors and aromas in your cup, but not the undesirable sediment. Gold Filter #4 fits all coffee machines that use a #4 cone filter for 6 - 12 cups.

I had a Swiss Gold coffee filter a few years ago, and I used it several times w/ regular grind coffee. I always had grounds/sludge in the bottom of the pot.
I gave away the Swiss Gold and went back to paper filters, but I'm trying to economize and "go green," so I thought I would try one of these again and just learn to live with the grounds in the pot, or maybe strain them out with a tea strainer when I poured from the carafe or something.
So, I ordered this Frieling Gold Coffee Filter last week, and the holes in it are smaller than on the Swiss Gold. Guess what: NO GROUNDS IN THE POT! NO SLUDGE!
If you use a fine grind, I would guess you MIGHT have some grounds get through, but with a regular, commercial grind, no problems. In the morning, I just want my coffee quick, and I either use commercially prepared regular grind coffee or grind my own on medium.
I have a Krups coffee / espresso "combo" machine.

I ordered this to pair with a Bonavita BV1800 8-Cup Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe, Brushed Aluminum after I got tired of messing with paper filters' cost and waste.
The filter fits perfectly in the Bonavita (and presumably other #4 filter holders), and seems to be reasonably sturdy. I alternate washing it by hand and dishwashing (top rack), and it looks as good after three months as it did when new.
As for the grind, I use freshly ground beans, ground on a medium fine setting with a Jura-Capresso 560 Infinity Conical Burr Grinder, Brushed Silver, 8.5-Ounce grinder.
I have not had issues with sludge or coffee that is weak: it has been well brewed every time, perhaps a bit on the strong side. You can easily tell that it's not a paper filter, too: the coffee oils are (slightly) visible in the brewed coffee. If you worry about those, then you should stick with paper.
For the price and quality of the coffee so far, I can recommend it. Cheers!

To be fair, this is the first one I've had, so I don't know how this compares to other metal/reusable coffee filters.
About 50% of the time, Coffee drains through too fast unless you preform some sort of voodoo ritual and have the grind and water temperature at just the right size-maybe, still not sure what size that should be. Even with a perfect paper filteresque drain, You get a fair amount of sludge in the bottom of the pot.
HOWEVER, its worth it to know we'll never have to worry about running out of or buying filters again, and it makes perfectly drinkable coffee. Though I've got into the British habit of leaving the last 1/4" of liquid at the bottom to avoid the sludge.

Good quality, easy to clean.
I won't be going back to filters again. This only required 10 seconds to clean under the faucet and/or sprayer hose. Read more

It works fine
It fits well in my Gevalia coffee maker and makes good tasting coffee. The only problem I have is the grounds are hard to clear sufficiently before washing out the filter. Read more

Filters better than expected
I like paper filters because they usually produce a "cleaner" cup of coffee and purchased this filter as a back-up. Read more

WHY USE PAPER FILTERS AND FILTER OUT ALL THOSE WONDERFUL FLAVORS?
Paper filters, #4 in this case, do one thing well for drip and pour-over coffee brewing methods: They keep the grounds separate from the brewed coffee very well. Read more

In theory it's a great idea
Like other reviewers I also found that too much gets past this filter. This is particularly true for pre-ground coffee. Read more
