5.0 out of 5 stars An ecological solution to coffee filters--and a warning, December 27, 2003

This is an economical solution to using paper filters for coffee--even the unbleached ones that stress the environment less than bleached paper does. The gold coating on the plastic makes for a neutral flavored filtration. You will get a few more fines than with a paper filter.

However, when cleaning the filter, do not be tempted to put it in the dishwasher. The action of the metal cleaners in the detergent and an electroplating effect caused by other metals in the dishwasher (like your silverware) will remove the gold from the filter. Just wash it by hand with a few drops of dish detergent to remove coffee oils. This should last for years.

2.0 out of 5 stars There Are Better Ones Out There, February 4, 2006

I have been using gold coffee filters for years for all my coffeemakers, however I was very disappointed with this one by Krups. I love my Krups Aroma Control with stainless steel carafe, but the Swiss Gold filter is far superior to the Krups 049. You can find the Swiss Gold brand all over the web -- the #4 is the same size as the Krups 049.

A good gold filter will give you the best coffee because it allows the coffee's oils to brew into the pot.

This review is from: Krups 049-33 Gold Tone Filter (Kitchen)

This is the filter that fits the Krups FME2-14 12 cup coffee maker. It does not say this and the other filter description states that it fits all Krups makers. This is false information.
