I have used this filter with my Grind-n-Brew for 2 years. I put it in the dishwasher at least twice and have never had any problems with it. I have no idea what these other reviewers are doing wrong, but I love this filter. I never have grounds in my coffee. There is always a little darker/thicker coffee in the bottom of a good cup of coffee!
As for price, $20 is NOT the actual price for this filter. $10 is the “real” price, so you are not getting a deal on Amazon especially when you add shipping (unless you are getting free shipping). I have seen the same $10 filter at Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Ace Hardware, and Publix.
Overall, if you enjoy a good cup of coffee and do not want to put the chemicals added to paper filters in your body, buy this coffee filter!
The first one I had I frequently put in the dishwasher and it lasted a little over a year, so I will hand wash this one. The price here is the same as the manufacturer’s site, but for now you save on the shipping.
Ah, my new gold tone filter is the envy of all my friends (well, one of them at least)! With over 58,000 holes, you can be assured no course grounds of coffee will sink to the bottom of your carafe, leaving a layer of coffee unworthy of drinking. You won’t catch any floaters in your carafe either. What does this mean? This means you won’t drink your savory cup of coffee not realizing these little pesky floaters. You won’t get that scratchy feeling slithering down the back of your throat, itching at every breath. You won’t be embarrassed to smile, knowing your teeth are free and clear of dark brown specks lodged between. So… is it sad that I took this amount of time to write, or sad that you spent that amount of time actually appreciating a review for a coffee filter?!

There are pros and cons to this conical, gold-coated filter.
Pros: You can reduce the use of paper products.
Your filter never runs out
Makes an ok cup
Cons:
Finer grinds make more sludge in the bottom of the carafe, just not as good a filter as paper.
The gold eventually wears off. It is bonded to the mesh, but gold is relatively inert and doesn’t bond well to anything.
I’ve bought a few of these over the years, but overall, I prefer brown filter paper for coffee making.

what can you say about a replacement filter? it works, fits just right and is cheap. kind of like my husband.

So, seriously, it’s a coffee filter. It works.
