Cuisinart GTF Gold Tone Filter

I really enjoy my new gold tone filter for my coffeemaker. It is so superior to paper filters that I will never go back to using them. THe clean up is easy to, just discard the coffee grounds down your disposal and rinse the filter under the tap. It's a keeper!

If this is anything like the original filter that came with my Cuisinart coffee maker, it will last a long, long time. I wasn't aware of how long I had had my coffee maker until I was checking the owner's manual for the filter make. The filter I am replacing is almost 9 years old. And for those that are new to using these type of filters, I gently handwash mine.

It is clear that it makes the taste of coffee better, but it doesn't filter coffee powder enoughly. I can see the powder in the pot after I brew it.

I ordered this because I got so tired of using paper filters. Also I got a new coffee maker so I wanted to change. I have to say that I love this. To be able to save a little money and the taste of the coffee is much better. Well made also. Thanks!

I have had this filter for about 2 years and have never regretted buying it. I have saved money on not having to buy paper filters and hopefully have contributed just a little to the environment. The filter is very easy to clean and is always there and ready to do its job. I can't speak for others on the subject of paper filters affecting the taste of the coffee, but personally I think they do, so the Cuisinart might have an advantage there as well. Please note that Cuisinart say this is "gold tone". That doesn't mean it is gold plated, just that it has gold colored paint on it. There are other, more expensive, filters that claim to be plated with real gold.
