Cuisinart filter
It works well, but it is a mess to use and clean. It is much easier to use paper filters. Tough to clean and not heart healthy I have been using this (don't tell ;), but it is a pain to clean. You end up putting a lot of grounds down the drain. A bigger issue is that coffee has a lot of oils in it which are not good for you if you are a heart patient. The paper filter eliminates the majority of these fatty oils so it's one less source for you to be concerned with. (Learned this in cardio-rehab after my own heart attack). I will probably go back to using paper. overpriced This item works well for what it is designed to do, but it is overpriced in my opinion. Cuisinart makes top-quality products, but you have to pay top-dollar to obtain them. Good quality, saves money I always wanted a gold basket and purchased it together with a Cuisinart Grind-n-Brew. It is of high quality materials and labor, and works great. I don't use it now because I don't like the sediment left in the bottom of the pot and cup. I knew it did this because I read it in the reviews. As a personal preference, I continue to use paper filters and keep my gold filter in a zip loc bag for a backup. It's a coffee filter... It's a coffee filter! Works perfect w/my coffee maker (grind and brew)- cuisinart. No complaints. | |
