Product Description
Why use a permanent filter? For one thing you won't experience that painful moment of truth when you realize you have to face the day without a java fix because you forgot to put paper filters on your grocery list. For another stainless steel filters extract the most flavor from your coffee. They are environmentally friendly and they save you money in the long run. There now, all that should have you convinced!

 No good for fine grounds April 9, 2008
David F. Elliott (Hampton, VA USA)
This filter seems like a good idea but in practice it allows far too many fine grounds to enter the pot. This drastically changes the flavor of the coffee and makes the last few cups in the pot completely undrinkable. I suppose if I had a burr grinder I could adjust the grind to be less fine but I have a normal spinning blade grinder that has served me well and makes great tasting coffee otherwise.
I am sticking with my Melitta #4 Natural Brown paper filters.
 Krups 049-33 Gold Tone Filter March 29, 2008
PCarlson (Tomball, TX)
We bought the Krups gold tone filter for our new coffee pot so we wouldn't have to fool with paper filters. It's great! Easy to clean and a very fine mesh to catch the grinds.
 Useless March 2, 2008
JXP (New Jersey)
This filter is useless. I am extremely happy with the Krups KM7000 coffee maker now that I figured out what the culprit was (this filter). The filter does a terrible job of filtering out what I will call "coffee-mud". I was always getting a thick residue in the bottom of the pot and unless I made extra and carefully poured, I'd end up with this gunk in my cup. I still use the filter, but I use it with a traditional paper filter. Not sure if there is a need for this filter at all since I'm using a paper filter, but I like to think I'm getting some use for my $10.
 This filter is great! January 16, 2008
Mr. Matthew J. Ghali (San Francisco, CA United States)
I usually need to replace my filter around every two years, and it would probably last longer if I wasn't such a klutz washing it. Not bad for daily use!
if it doesn't rip it will last for years October 11, 2007

I have had Krups coffee makers for years in the family. They do what they are supposed do fairly well. I don't like to throw money away in disposable filters (and don't like to help environment a little) so we always had the "gold tone" filters. This particular filter does not fit perfectly like all the others I have had. It was listed as the one that fits. The shape does not get in the way. It is always reusable as long as you clean it carefully. Don't rip it or will find yourself dishing another 10 to 13 USD for it. Don't throw away the coffee grids, with the filter in hand throw them in your sink and let the water run. It naturally helps to clean the pipes. I say save some money and get this one (just look at the manual or the website for the right model for your coffee maker)
