Average Rating:
Rating: - No good for fine grounds
This filter seems like a good idea but in practice it allows far too many fine grounds to enter the pot. This drastically changes the flavor of the coffee and makes the last few cups in the pot completely undrinkable. I suppose if I had a burr grinder I could adjust the grind to be less fine but I have a normal spinning blade grinder that has served me well and makes great tasting coffee otherwise.
I am sticking with my Melitta #4 Natural Brown paper filters.
Rating: - Krups 049-33 Gold Tone Filter
We bought the Krups gold tone filter for our new coffee pot so we wouldn't have to fool with paper filters. It's great! Easy to clean and a very fine mesh to catch the grinds.
Rating: - Useless
This filter is useless. I am extremely happy with the Krups KM7000 coffee maker now that I figured out what the culprit was (this filter). The filter does a terrible job of filtering out what I will call "coffee-mud". I was always getting a thick residue in the bottom of the pot and unless I made extra and carefully poured, I'd end up with this gunk in my cup. I still use the filter, but I use it with a traditional paper filter. Not sure if there is a need for this filter at all since I'm using a paper filter, but I like to think I'm getting some use for my $10.
Rating: - Economical and Enviro-Friendly
I bought this to use with our new Krups KM7000 Grind-and-Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker, Black
The filter works as well as any other gold toned filter, they all leave a residue and it is much better then using wasteful paper filters. They last forever, and in my case, longer then the coffee pot!
Rating: - This filter is great!
I usually need to replace my filter around every two years, and it would probably last longer if I wasn't such a klutz washing it. Not bad for daily use!
