Cuisinart GTF Gold Tone Coffee Filter, 10-12 Cup Cone, Burr Mill

Filter
Works great

Great all around
I love these for what they do—less consumable costs means I can buy fancier coffee. I’ve been using it for quite a while, banging on the sides daily to get the stuck coffee out of the filter and it’s held up an absolute treat…the filter that gave out on me did last me a good eight years, but I hope for the same from this guy. My only caveat for people who are making the switch from paper filters is that, depending on your grind, may allow a minimal amount of scum to form in the last dregs of your coffee. For me, I don’t mind it at all…I usually like to leave the last sip in the cup anyway so it doesn’t dry to the bottom of the cup. The scum texture is drinkable, but it gets stuck in my throat. Great filter though!

Works great– as a PAPER filter support system!
I give this 4 starts because it works perfectly for what I wanted it to do, which is to hold the paper size 4 cone filter properly in place. However I would not be happy with it if I were using it as a stand-alone filter because of the large amount of sediment which passes through into the coffee, as I will explain. I was tired of brewing coffee only to find the the paper filter had collapsed and coffee grounds passed freely into the coffee pot. I began searching to see if there was a product made to support the paper filters so that they could not collapse, and found none, but came across this item and decided to try it.It works (for me) by placing this permanent filter INSIDE a regular size 4 paper cone filter, then placing it inside the brewing compartment in my coffee pot (Giada Programmable Coffee Maker) and filling it with coffee grounds and brewing as usual. This solves the problem of the paper filter shifting.I read reviews that indicated it was too tall for a coffee maker to be able to close properly. I can’t imagine this happening since it is still slightly shorter than the paper filter once it is placed inside my coffee pot- so if a #4 cone filter fits your machine, this should work. One thing I would note is that because it is a more rigid item than a paper filter, you must wiggle it side to side, and/or spin it slightly as you insert it into the brewing compartment for it to properly “seat” down to the bottom.I rinse it daily and thoroughly wash it occasionally. I have been using it daily for about six months now with no signs of wear at all.The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I believe this item is marketed as a replacement to paper filters and is intended to be used on its own. However, there is a LOT of sediment that will pass through (assuming you use a standard size grind- like from the supermarket). I understand that some people like their coffee to have this sediment and that it is a trade off they are willing to endure for “better tasting coffee.” However it seems excessive to me. Therefore, I have posted an image of my paper filter which, as you recall, I use underneath this filter when I brew coffee, so that you can make in informed decision about this Gold Tone filter’s capabilities with respect to what you intend to use it for.If you are just tired of the collapsing paper filters, and don’t mind using both filters simultaneously (i.e using this permanent filter for support), then I highly recommend this product.

Perfect replacement!
The original filter, after many years, developed a gap at the very bottom. I let it go for quite a while but noticed it had gotten a bit bigger so finally decided to replace it. The price seemed reasonable and the description of which models it would fit covered my aging model, so I ordered a new one and was so pleased that it actually does fit perfectly! And, of course, was delivered almost instantly.

Se ajustó perfectamente a mi cafetera Cuisineart, funciona muy bien y se siente de excelente calidad.

Así como se lee, éste articulo muy probablemente será de mejor que calidad del que acompaña a tu cafetera cuando la compres. Lo recomiendo.
