Product Description

24 carat filter. 24 carat taste. Swissgold makes the finest permanent coffee filters. Do not compare these to the common "gold tone" filters on the market. Genuine Swissgold permanent coffee filters have real gold plating and a specially designed mesh to let flavor through while keeping grinds out. The KF 4 is a size 4 cone filter with a 6-12 cup capacity and a collapsible handle for easy removal. It's the perfect partner of your drip coffee maker, easy to clean and always ready for use. Save money - no more paper filters to purchase. Never worry about running out of filters again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Much Perfect, February 7, 2006

I own two of these, for a Melitta Clarity and Presto Scandinavian Design coffee makers. The difference in taste between these and paper filters is unimaginable. It's not the same as French pressed coffee: not as thick mouthfeel, brighter. The SwissGold filter is fine enough that there is very little sediment, a problem cheaper (Krups) knock-offs suffer badly from.

The filter has an indented rim to let you pick it up, rather than a handle. This lets it fit into more machines, at the cost of making it less convenient to remove while hot from machines that don't have a detachable filter holder (both of mine do, so it's kind of moot for me).

One thing the write-up doesn't mention is that there is an extension ring hiding in the box under the little cardboard bit the filters sits in. I have never needed it, but I imagine there are coffee machines where it would help.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but the Online Price is Too High!, November 30, 2008

This review is from: SwissGold KF 4 Universal Gold Plated Coffee Filter

SPECIAL NOTE: At the time of my review, the onlice price was $34.99

I've used these filters for years. Completely eliminates that "paper" taste from regular paper filters. However, even these are only relatively permanent filters - they will clog up over time and you must replace them. I still buy and recommend them, but the online price shown here is exorbitant! I can buy this same item - same manufacturer and model - retail at many coffee stores here in San Francisco for $20.95. I order a lot of things online, but I go for price AND convenience. Caveat emptor!

I don't have much new information to add, except that the filter does work perfectly with the Technivorm Moccamaster, in case anybody was wondering (like I was).
