GREAT - GREAT AND THEN SOME!Jun 21, 2008
By Randy Arnold
"DVD Freak"
I purchased one of these and used it for over three years before the dishwasher bounced it around one-too-many times and split the filter media in several places. Still, over three years, I saved a little money over paper filters and kept a lot of paper out of the waste stream.
SwissGold is THE premier maker of non-disposable products. The mesh is just the right size for keeping your morning joe from getting "muddied" yet allows more of the true aromas and tastes to filter through. A paper filter traps a lot of these and prevents the true "coffee" from presenting itself. I use fresh roasted beans, ground coarse, from all over the world and if I forget to clean my gold filter and resort to using a paper one, there is a distinct taste difference. If you find yourself in this position, use a brown or unbleached paper filter, unless you want chlorine-tasting brew.
There is no doubt that the mesh in this product is somewhat fragile. To prevent damage, just wash it by hand or use some liquid dish soap and an old used toothbrush, which works great. I have a special place in my dishwasher when it needs a good cleaning but I rinse it out after with good, clean hot water and let it air dry. If you use this product AND pick the proper size, you will not be disappointed.

 Filter failureFeb 21, 2008
By nanomdr
We purchased this filter after owning a previous metal filter (different brand) that lasted for over 5 years. This filter developed cracks in the metal fabric within a few months and it became almost unusable after about 5 months. Also found that the plastic extender ring did not fit snugly and often fell off. The distributor says that the filter is very sensitive, and the cracks are from tapping the filter against the lid of the garbage can to get the grounds out. Since that's the only way to remove wet grounds without washing them all down the drain, this filter is clearly too sensitive for me. Anyone who uses the tap technique should not purchase this item.

I've been using this filter everyday for 2 months and there is no disappointments.Fits in the coffee makers basket like it should and is made with real gold on metal and not nylon like some filters.I keep it clean using non-detergent dish soap and a soft used toothbrush.Highly recommend this filter over all the others, may cost a little more,but it is worth it.swissgold® KF 4 Cone-Shape Coffee Filter

 Works As Well As Cheaper OnesAug 26, 2010
By rjg426
I did not notice any difference in performance (coffee flavor, etc) with this filter vs. my old $10 cheap gold filter. The old one still works fine but it's over 3 years old and I figured I'd give this a try. It is, however, constructed better than the cheap ones and includes a height adapter for large capacity coffeemakers (mine's a 10-cup and it just about fits without the adapter). In spite of the sturdier construction, in my opinion it does not warrant 3X the price.

Makes a great cup!Jan 18, 2007
By Justin
I use this filter every morning in my drip coffee maker. This makes a huge difference in the taste of the coffee compared to using paper filters. Did I mention that reuseable filters pay for themselves because you no longer buy paper ones and that less waste is produced? Better tasting coffee + more environmentally friendly = win.
