Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The mesh in this Gold Tone filter, made of stainless steel, will stand up to years of wear, which is why they call it "permanent." It eliminates the need for paper filters, which is better for the environment and will shorten most shopping lists, too. It's made with the usual Krups workmanship, and is both simple to hand wash and dishwasher-safe. This filter will be used every day--I use it so much I wonder how I started the day without it. --Maria Dolan

4.0 out of 5 stars The gold standard in our house --and some hints for using it, July 28, 2002

We had to go back to paper filters while our coffee pot and Krups gold filter were in storage during a move. So I had a chance to compare, again, the gold filter versus the paper cones. Here are my observations:

1. It is a pain to remember to buy filters, and sometimes the grocery store is out of stock. I like the brown unbleached filters and those are not always available.

2. If you use this gold-coated filter, you should NOT grind your coffee too fine. (We grind our own in a small electric mill.) The filter allows somewhat more sediment through than the paper variety. I don't like finding even a small amount of sludge at the bottom of my mug. A careful grind does take care of this problem, however.

4. Despite the fact that gold is relatively inert and stainless, it doesn't hurt to rub down the filter and plastic with a paste of baking soda and water, once a week. This removes any bad-tasting residue that can accumulate.

All in all, when we unpacked our filter and started using it again, I was very happy. It saves paper, money and time. I recommend it if you have a cone-filter type coffee pot.

Product description doesn't tell you what size filter this is. It is a size 4. It did not fit our size 2 filter holder. Product returned.

5.0 out of 5 stars worth the price, August 20, 2000

This review is from: Krups 026-33 Gold Tone Coffee Filter (Kitchen)

I use my Krups coffee maker and this gold tone filter every single day and this is a must have! It's very durable and easy to clean. I usually dump it in the dish washer. My filter has lasted over 2 years and it's developed a small tear at the bottom of the filter and I'm about to replace it. Nevertheless you will save over buying paper filters in the long run.
