    The previous reviewer is correct about the “sediment” from the filter. Typically gold filters allow the oils and other properties of the ground bean to pass though, instead of being stuck in the paper filter. This gives a darker richer coffee. It also means you have a small “shot” of more dense coffee at the end of your cup. You can either drink it or not, some people really like the taste of the gold filter, others are used to the paper and don’t like it at all. I guess it’s just a matter of taste.

    We found that the paper filters just wouldn’t stay upright overnight in the basket, resulting in unattended surprise overflows and a great deal of “sediment” in the coffee and everywhere else. This filter is made for this model and fits like a glove, have yet to see one ground in my cups and the rest of the household has yet to declare any. As for taste, we haven’t noted any true appreciable difference, even using high grades of coffee which are distinctive, nor in the occasional purchase of more standard grades of coffee beans. All in all, I give this five stars, for a number of reasons: Far easier to “change” the filter when you have just gotten out of bed, having forgotten to set the coffee timer the night before, just dump out old grounds and sleepy fumble the filter back, rather than the floppy paper ones wrangling; Environmentally friendly, self explanatory; Cost effective over long run, those paper filters add up; Never having to find yourself needing coffee but sans filter again and looking at the roll of paper towels for rescue; Saves space on counter and/or in the cupboard, as you don’t have to store paper filters; Last but not least, I am so sick of trying to pick just ONE paper filter at a time out of the stack and coming out with multiples, more of that pesky fumbling, since they don’t just pop out one like a Kleenex box does. So, in conclusion, very worth it and I recommend it.

    It’s a coffee filter! Works perfect w/my coffee maker (grind and brew)- cuisinart. No complaints.

    The gold tone filter works good, we don’t see much in the way of little bits of grounds in the carafe at the end. It is also nice not to need to purchase filters or find a place to store them in the kitchen. However, the grounds do not come out of the filter easily. Whacking the filter on the edge of the trash can gets the bulk of them out, but then we still need to rinse a lot of them down the sink/garbage disposal.

    The filter is great and very easy to clean. It is much nicer than getting rid of a soggy, paper filter and it’s environmentally friendly, too!

    The only downside is that it does allow a small amount of grounds to get into the coffee. This doesn’t bother me at all and I think the coffee tastes better than when I used paper filters.

    I would definitely purchase this item again.
