EXCELLENT!,
I have used this filter with my Grind-n-Brew for 2 years. I put it in the dishwasher at least twice and have never had any problems with it. I have no idea what these other reviewers are doing wrong, but I love this filter. I never have grounds in my coffee. There is always a little darker/thicker coffee in the bottom of a good cup of coffee!
As for price, $20 is NOT the actual price for this filter. $10 is the “real” price, so you are not getting a deal on Amazon especially when you add shipping (unless you are getting free shipping). I have seen the same $10 filter at Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Ace Hardware, and Publix.
Overall, if you enjoy a good cup of coffee and do not want to put the chemicals added to paper filters in your body, buy this coffee filter!

|Gold standard?,
There are pros and cons to this conical, gold-coated filter.
Pros: You can reduce the use of paper products.
Your filter never runs out
Makes an ok cup
Cons:
Finer grinds make more sludge in the bottom of the carafe, just not as good a filter as paper.
The gold eventually wears off. It is bonded to the mesh, but gold is relatively inert and doesn’t bond well to anything.
I’ve bought a few of these over the years, but overall, I prefer brown filter paper for coffee making.

|Basic filter,
The first one I had I frequently put in the dishwasher and it lasted a little over a year, so I will hand wash this one. The price here is the same as the manufacturer’s site, but for now you save on the shipping.
