My last Mr. Coffee basket lasted 6 years before the mesh pulled away from the plastic and I am not exactly easy on them because i make so much coffee.Mr. Coffee GTF2-1 Basket-style Gold Tone Permanent FilterThe filter arrived, as promised, and in good working order. I'm happy with the current construction of this filter, even with it's plastic bottom; it does the job well and appears durable. Only time and usage will tell, of course.Green alternative to paper but overpricedThis filter came free with my new Mr. Coffee. Walmart sells coffee filters 100/$1, that's about 500 to 1000 paper filters depending on your final cost for this filter. I've used a similar one before. It can last over 5 years, and it usually dies when the mesh cracks from age and repeated use.Pros It makes a slightly stronger brew because the filter allows more oils through and in the longer run, one saves buying paper filters. Its greener to use it, since its less paper and trash for land fills. It has a flat plastic sealed bottom, so the coffee is forced to strain to the sides, slowing the transit of hot water through the grinds like that of a paper filter. Cons Cleaning. You'll use water, time and effort rinsing this filter, after tapping out the grinds. Less grinds. The filter is smaller than the removable cup so it has less volume as a paper filter. Using 4 measures of ground coffee cause my grinds to overflow past the plastic filter and into my coffee pot. To clean it easier, I leave the grounds in the filter to dry out. I tap the inverted filter directly on a trash can or plate, and nearly all comes off as a lump or flakes out. You can wash off the rest. Its not any more a problem that cleaning a french press. Expensive, but go the job done.New coffee pot = $25replace lost filter = $13 + $5 shipping Barely worth it. Coffee FilterI thought I was ordering a Mr. Coffee filter. When it arrived, it was an off-brand. I ended up paying $10 more than something I could have bought at Wal*Mart off the shelves. I just didn't know that stores would carry them. The basket does the job just fine. Just don't order it unless you are 100 miles from civilization and will not be shopping at a Target, K-Mart, or Wal*Mart soon.Product DescriptionThe Mr. Coffee GTF2-1 basket-style gold tone permanent filter is compatible with most 10-12 cup basket-style coffeemakers.Read more...
