Sludge, seriously, dude get with the program! The biggest advantage of a filter like this is that it allows all the oils from the ground coffee bean into the coffee instead of filtering it out the way paper filters do. THIS is real coffee the way it's supposed to be with all the lovely aromatic tasty natural oils from the bean included. On top of that it's environmentally friendly and thrifty, no more cutting down trees just to make a cup of coffee!

We've been using this filter in our Mr. Coffee ECM21 combination espresso n' coffee machine and have had no problems whatsoever in all this time. The filter is gentle yet strong, doesn't smell or anything, looks good, comes with its own handle and very easy to clean.

Nice Product and a lot of bang for its buck!!!

Nice substitution for paper filters. Plastic trim probably doesn't improve taste of coffee, but I haven't seen any alternative.

I think this filter is mainly for machines made by Mr. Coffee. It doesn't sit quite right with my coffee maker. Other than that, it does what it's supposed to do for decent enough price at $10.

We are really enjoying this filter. Just got it just over a week ago and have used it every day. Using it with pre-ground packaged coffee and have had great results.

Bought this one because it is the same brand as our coffee maker so I figured there should be no fit issues and have had none. This is a really great price and when you figure that it was about the cost of a small pack of paper filters we will be saving a fair amount of money.

Don't really notice a taste difference from the paper filters to this one and we haven't noticed much if any "sludge" in the bottom of the pot.

The other nice advantage is that we compost our grounds and now we don't have to keep seeing the filters when we are turning the compost pile and waiting for them to break down.

Had old filter for years. Once it disintegrated, I debated if I should purchase a new one. Couldn't find this style in any of my local stores. Initially, didn't want to pay shipping for a $8 item.... After using paper filters for awhile, I decided to splurge. Glad I did!! Hope it lasts as long as my first filter. PS: Well worth the shipping!!!

Although we like the concept of reusing our filter and using the reusable one seemed like a good idea we don't like how much of the grains get through. THe flavor isn't as dense for the coffee and we end up using more grounds to get the right flavor since it runs through much faster with this style of filter.

I was a little hesitant when I purchase this product. I was reading the reviews, I went ahead and purchased the item and it was a perfect fit for my coffee maker. I am glad I ordered 2. Fast shipping.

I bought this after I bought the Mr Coffee/Espresso combo machine and have used it several times. I did notice that the grounds do tend to get into the bottom of the coffee pot but then again that's something I'm used to so its not really that big of a concern for me. I do like the fact that I don't have to buy anymore paper filters so that's definitely a plus.

Only thing that is a little bothersome is the fact that the handle prongs on one side broke off after the first use and I kind of have to slowly extract the unit from the reservoir after every use, but other than that its not really something that takes all the much time to do. I would definitely get another one of these, it does pay for itself after a while when you think of the paper filters that you don't have to buy anymore. Besides, anyone that drinks coffee on a regular basis is going to have coffee grounds on the bottom of their coffee pot anyway, shouldn't be something to be too bothered with.

I really like having a permanent filter. It's nice to be able to rinse this or throw it in the dishwasher instead of buying filters all the time. But I do think it's a little flimsy. Just a little delicate for my taste.
