Medelco #4 Cone Permanent Coffee Filter

Way better than paper filters! Cleans so easy!

It is a bit more shallow than the original Braun filter that came with the coffee maker but does fit perfectly. I have been using Braun coffee makers (KF 400) since the mid-1980s when you could breeze into Target and pick up one for a small bit of money. In the Braun filter, a small separation between the filter material and the plastic frame had developed at the apex and while only a very small amount of grounds was evident in the bottom of the carafe, it was not going to improve on its own, justifying this purchase. First pot brewed today with the new filter, works fine. Worth the money to me. An update on 022325: after brewing a number of pots of coffee, I have found that the wider frame at the bottom of this new filter makes removal of the grounds easier for dumping into the garbage can...

Good quality, and it makes good coffee. Easy to use, just place it in your coffee machine and fill with your loose coffee to brew without creating all the garbage waste of those single-use pods. Remember that even those pods labeled recyclable are still creating garbage that goes into a landfill, so don't be lazy and selfish and just use a permanent filter like this one!

I bought this to go with my Clever Coffee Dripper. Unlike some other universal #4 reusable filters, this fits well. It does a good job with store-ground coffee, but my home grinder isn't as consistent, and the finer grit makes it through this filter. My wife thinks too much gets through, but I don't consider it too bad. The bad thing is that after seven months of daily use it has a tear in the seam of filter and plastic at the bottom. It's about an inch wide and certainly allows a lot more through now. I'm ordering another one since it was worth the price. I would give it that fifth star if it lasted longer.

I recently bought the Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker and love it. However, I was annoyed with having to deal with coffee filters! I make a pot of coffee ever day so that meant I threw away one paper filter, day-after-day. On top of that, the way the filters are made, with the seem on the bottom and side, you have to really finagle them to get the filter to sit just right in the machine. Still, I was worried about buying a gold cone filter. I had read reviews of gold cone filters that didn't fit right in the coffee maker, or after buying a gold cone filter people ended up with a lot of coffee grounds and sludge sitting at the bottom of their brewed pot of coffee. I bought this coffee filter anyway and it has been perfect. It plops right in and fits perfectly in the coffee brewing basket of my Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker . No coffee grounds get through. And it has a swivel handle on top so I can easily take the filter out and clean it each day. I've also read reviews of tears in the mesh for other filters. The mesh on this one is a bit delicate, but I've been washing it by hand every day for a few months now and I am not concerned of creating a tear. However, I wouldn't recommend putting it in the dishwasher because that might be a bit too rough. Overall, I would highly recommend this gold cone coffee filter. It works just as it should and, as far as I can tell, has no faults!

I am so tired of the "buy it and then buy it again" world we live in. It's products like these that I am so happy still exist! The first time I bought this filter was in 2012, and now (12 years later) I am finally replacing it! What an amazing product to have lasted so long. We take care of our things, but this product helps in the way it's built. This fit perfectly in our Cuisinart coffee machine. We have had coffee through this filter almost every single day since purchase. We bang out the rinds and simply soak out what remains with hot water. Let it dry on its own and it has lasted us this long. I don't ever write reviews as most products nowadays don't last long enough for me to feel it's worth it, so I hope this helps others in their buying decisions. In our goal of not being wasteful and constantly adding to the landfills, this product does its job! I just feel bad for the company if I'm only going to need to buy from them ever 12 years ;)

Works well but would be better to use a course grind of coffee, as it let's a lot of coffee sediment in the pot.

Flows well, cleans easy. Makes for an easy-to-use, clean cup making filter.

This filter fits my coffee machine perfectly, and does exactly what I want.

Received damaged with holes in the filter...

Awesome product. No more filter issues. No more coffee grounds in our coffee.

Superb fit!

Justo lo que estaba buscando, de buen material, pensé que sería algo débil o endeble, pero se siente bastante firme. Compraré otro para altenarlos mientras se secan luego del lavado. Muy recomendable.
