Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart GTF Gold Tone Filter
Customer Review: Durable
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this filter for almost two years now. I usually hand wash it, but it holds up to the dishwasher as well. The only complaint I have is that it has a tendency to get grounds caught in the bottom of the filter, where the plastic joins the screen. Overall, I've been very happy with this filter, and if it wears out, I plan on replacing it with another Cuisinart.Customer Review: Save the plant
Summary: 5 Stars
You never run out of filters and you can feel good about not contributing to the depletion of trees for this one small item. Plus, no worries about toxins from bleached paper entering your hot beverage.Customer Review: Gold standard?
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Customer Review: EXCELLENT!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Customer Review: Totally disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this item with the impression that permanent coffee filters made coffee taste better, but I can honestly say it doesn't. Once more, there are still grounds in my coffee and a disgusting syrup at the bottom of my cup. I'm not sure if the filter I got is bad. It did come from Amazon and I haven't had problems with anything I've got from them, so I'm not necessarily accusing them of giving me bad product, but I'll leave that open for later interpretation.
Cleaning this item is not easy at all. Some of the grinds fall out, but not enough of them. You get a huge clump on the bottom that will not move.
I bought this filter with my grind and brew coffemaker and I have to say that both are becoming more trouble than they are worth.
