Great Filter!
This filter works very well if you like strong coffee. A thin film of oil from the beans will end up in your coffee, and it lets through more richness than a paper filter. It also lasts a long time, and you won't have to purchase paper filters, which probably helps the environment over the long-run. Ours seem to last quite a while (a year or more?) and you can also put it in the dishwasher, which is a good idea to remove some of the residue. (Oily residue build-up in both the filter and coffee m...

Go for the Gold
Our UGSF4 has lasted for 10 years of daily use, even after the screen has separated from the plastic, the gold has faded to silver, and the handle has been lost since who-knows-when. We wash it by hand. Coffee still tastes great!

Gold Screen Coffee Filter
You're better off with paper filters. They allow less sediment into your coffee than this thing does. Don't bother.

Works well but...
you still have to wash the coffee grounds out. I dump them in the garbage, of course, but then the filter takes quite a lot of rinsing, and coffee grounds get all over the sink, and you have to rinse that out. Takes a lot of water. So I still use a paper filer inside this, then the filter just takes a quick rinse. But at least if some of the grounds are outside the paper filer, they don't go in the coffee like they would with a conventional filter. Not quite worth the money to me.

Gteat Filter
Been using this for as long as I could buy Braun Coffee Makers (which may not be for long from what I hear). Always made great coffee. I find it easy to clean as long as I rinse it from the bottom to get rid of the residual coffee grounds. Considering the cost vs. what you would pay over time for paper filters, this is a no brainer.

Braun filter basket
There is one design problem with the basket; the indents in the upper rim and the configiration of the basket handle make it impossible for the filter to accomodate a #4 paper cone filter as an insert without considerable folding and creasing. I use such a filter with the basket so as to make cleanup easier as well as to filter out more of the particles from the grinds. A design change is in order in my opinion.

Coffee filters not meeting demand
These reusable coffee filters appear to no longer be on the market, or
at least their inventory has been exhausted and not replenished. Despite
promises from the supplier, the filters have not yet appeared...after
weeks. So, we are back to using paper filters, which work just fine.

Replaces #4 Filters
This filter works as advertised - it replaces the #4 paper filters we were using.
Slightly difficult to clean - the bottom plastic part "u" seems to catch and hold those old coffee grounds, so you have to us a little bit of water to rinse it out completely. The strangely placed indentations on the lid also make it so that the brewing pot does not close completely over the filter - but it still works.
