Norpro 551 Gold Cone No. 4 Coffee Filter

I use this product only when I want to avoid the mess of a filter. I am not always happy with using it as I think if ground very fine it tends to fliter through and then the coffee has a thick taste at the bottom. I usually have to throw out the last quarter cup or so as it tastes strong and thick. It does however save time when making a quick cup. Also if you take out the filter as soon as it is finished perking it doesn't tend to bleed into the caraf as much.

I'm very happy that I purchased this product. I don't have to mess around with paper filters any more. All I do is rinse it out and make more coffee. I would most definitely purchase this product from Amazon again.

I bought this for a Krups 12-cup model, thinking that a #4 filter would fit all models, but it's not the best fit. I really should have purchased the correct filter for my particular Krups model, however more expensive it was, than trying to save a few $$. It's usable, certainly, but I have to be sure that the filter is properly seated and the machine door is shut tight before starting the brewing cycle; I've had it pop open while filled with hot water during the brewing cycle; a not so great ocurrence. Anyway, I do like this filter, aside from the fit issues; and hope to never have to buy paper filters again. Saves 50% over what I pay for filters in a year, and a few trees in a life time of use to boot.

Ond tip, one comment: hand wash carefully, no dishwasher, these filters are delicate; there most likely will be some "sludge" in the bottom of your coffee carafe, but not any grounds; that's not a big deal for me. I'm used to grounds accumulating in my coffee when I'm out of paper filters and am forced to use paper towel.
