I do not like paper filters (have 2 French Presses), much less bleached ones. So, even though there were some not-favorable reviews, I decided to order the Perma basket. First time I used it I only made 25 oz of coffee because one reviewer had said it overflowed. Using the Bunn BTX-B 10 cup, 50 oz machine, with 5 heap'n tablespoon of drip ground beans to the 25 oz of spring water, it came out pretty good. I could actually tell the difference and was going to use it 'permanently'.

Ooops, silly me! Today I jacked it up to 40 oz of spring water and used 8 heap'n tablespoons of drip ground beans and the sucker overflowed like the muddy, flooded Mississippi River! Grounds and coffee all over the counter top and a large puddle on the floor.....all in about 2 minutes while I was putting groceries in the fridge.

I realize Bunn does not make this filter but I got the impression they endorsed it.....that is my fault. And, the advertisement leads you to believe it will work full capacity with your java maker.

There should be a warning about the capacity capabilities of this basket....maybe some folks just want 25 -30 oz of java @ a time, then it might be fine for them...I am not even sure it could handle 30 oz...and I ain't gonna try to find out!!

Bad product for the Bunn BTX-B if you want to use your coffee maker full capacity, or close it. I will use this filter when I want just 2 or 3 cups of 8 oz coffee...it does do a good job in that range, with no sediment, which is good.

Bunn coffee maker requires tall Bunn filters and this one is not up to parr (it overflows). Other than that we can't use it, I am sure it is just fine

I was surprised to find this at my local closeout store, and I just happened to be out of coffee filters and needed a basket style replacement so this fit the bill. Having only seen gold tone permanent filters my expecations were not too high. This particular filter was just slightly smaller than what I expected, however it performed perfectly and no water or coffee spilled over. I guess that's why they named it "Fitz All". I was pleasantly surprised at how nice and smooth the coffee tasted. The filter cleans up so easily, just rinse and set on top of your coffee maker until it's needed. No coffee residue remained anywhere in this filter, and the coffee did taste better than when I make it with the paper filter. Overall I'm very happy with this product and would buy it again.

I purchased this product from Amazon, not to replace other coffee filters, but to have handy in case I run out of the paper filters. I used this product a couple of times. It works very well, but it needs to be an inch or so taller, as Bunn Coffee Makers brew coffee so quickly that the filter filled and ran over the top into the Bunn Basket. For a slower brewing coffe system it would work very well.

I've owned reusable filters for years and wish Bunn made one, but they don't...period. Shame on Amazon for linking these two products!

This little filter is a great addition to my new coffee/tea maker ensemble. I am especially fond of it's ability to filter out loose tea leaves after brewing in the carafe. It was a little pricey for what it is, but since I don't have to buy paper filters any more, I'm happy.

This filter works fine and makes a good cup of coffee. However, if you have a Bunn coffee maker, forget it. The Bunn machines require a taller filter. If you use a regular height filter (like the Perma-Brew) you'll end up with grounds in your carafe. This filter comes with directions to make a pot of coffee in two stages. So, it is really a stretch to say this filter works with a Bunn coffee maker. If I can't find a taller one I'll just stick with the paper filters.

It is worth it.Good product.I have to come back in 3 years to tell you if it was good for 3 years.

I thought this would be great so I didn't need to keep getting paper. I also heard paper keeps some of the oils from getting through. This filter has a bottom that is divided into six "compartments". Only 2 of the 6 allow liquid to go through. The other 4 were solid plastic like the frame. I do not know if it is the design or a defect but the packaging does not include anything to make me understand if it is intentional or not. At any rate, the water wasn't going through and what did took forever and too much was left in the filter when I gave up. I can't imagine it is meant to work that way but I would not recommend it as it is.

had to return this product. bought it with a bunn coffee maker, but it was to small i guess, coffee grinds in coffee. no problem with return though and i love the bunn coffee maker would not buy another type of coffee maker now that i have a bunn. makes great coffee and if you use the paper bunn filters no problem
