Makes a much better cup of coffee for my taste than the paper filters. It's more like French Press, with some oils and fines. I'm not a "clean cup" kind of guy, I like the mouth feel of a slightly "chewy cup."
I found out something important that is not completely explained in the instructions. There is tiny printing on one side of the filter. The instructions say to put this side up, and they don't say why. The reason is that the holes in the filter are etched bigger on the unprinted side and smaller on the printed side -- they are shaped like tiny funnels. If you put the filter in with the funnels right side up, they fill up and clog, and the plunger gets more and more difficult to push. Hold the filter to the light and you can see the blockage.
I tried many unsuccessful ways to clean the filter and what worked was my electric toothbrush. I flipped the filter over and it hasn't clogged since.
Love this product.
