Cuisinart GTF Gold Tone Filter

Works quite well. It's not permanent, but does last about 5-6 years with daily use and the occasional top-rack dishwashering. Typically just rinsed out after use.

A gold filter that does what it is supposed to do. It seems to hold up well, and I personally haven't noticed any sludge at all. I've had many filters and this one really seems to be the best. i wonder if they make a larger one??

Good design. Cleaning: Time consuming and I use a lot of warm to hot water. Does not filter as well as the paper cones. Leaves a lot of dark heavey coffee in the bottom of the pot and in your cup if you mix it up. Coffee tastes ok. If you really want to use this, buy two or three. That way you can rinse it out and put in dishwaher instead of cleaning it so much. We went back to the paper ones. Wanna buy mine!

This is a very sturdy, easy to clean basket. A great addition to your coffee maker.

Hope it will last long enough to make it a better choice environmentally than paper. It's nice not to worry about running out of paper filters, but now I spend some extra time & water every day to rinse this one out.
