Cuisinart GTF-B Gold Tone Coffee Filter, Basket

Perfect replacement and speedy delivery.

Although the product is listed as a Cuisinart gold tone filter, nowhere on the packaging does it say that it is Cuisinart brand. Aside from that, this is a great filter. It didn't look like it would be tall enough to accommodate enough ground coffee for 12 cups with my Mr. Coffee maker. I was wrong; it handles all of the ground coffee and none of it ever spills over the side of the filter. Our morning coffee definitely tastes better using this filter. Our coffee tastes less bitter and acidic and tastes smoother, mellower and more flavorful. The filter lifts out and goes back in easily and accommodates the Mr. Coffee filter discs with no problem. The only criticism that I have is that even if you think you've shaken out all of the wet coffee grounds into the garbage, you haven't. You still have to run hot water over it to get the remaining coffee grounds out and then continue to run the water for a little bit to make sure that all the grounds go down the drain so you don't stuff up the pipes. Paper coffee filters are cheap and running the extra hot water over the filter to clean it out tells me that we're probably breaking even as far as the cost for a cup of coffee when it comes to paper filter versus a gold tone filter. But the coffee definitely taste better so it's well worth it. I'm sticking with gold tone filters from now on. I also want to add that this coffee filter is made very very well. The surgical mesh filter is extremely fine and it's open on the bottom so all of the drip coffee flows out naturally.

As advertised, works in my Cuisinart coffee maker. Durable.

I have never much cared for gold tone filters for my cone machines, as they never seemed to make much difference to the flavor on those, but I love gold tone filters on basket machines. It's mystifying to me that the cone shape is more popular than the basket shape for the gold tone filters, because the result in taste is more dramatic on a basket machine. Basket machines are not terribly efficient at delivering maximum flavor due to the way that the water soaks the grounds and filters down, but they do tend to make a more economically efficient purchase when money is tight. The gold tone filter helps make up for the lack by ensuring more of the coffee oils make it through into your pot. It's also economically efficient because you'll save money on filters over the long haul. It's really the best of both worlds if you have a basket machine. There is a bit of sediment that will also make it into the pot, but it's not much and only the person taking the last cup is going to notice. If you have one of those people in your office who takes the last cup and doesn't refill you can consider it justice. For the record, this is a good fit on my Black and Decker 10 cup machine. It's a little shorter than the basket, but it's a just snug enough fit and I've never had an overflow issue using this filter.

I use this as an alternative to paper filters. It works well, but it does leave a bit of sludge/silt in the bottom of the pot. I tried adjusting the amount of grinding of the beans, as well as using pre-ground coffee, but it still remained. It is not like using a percolator, as I use when camping making cowboy coffee, as this is much finer. All you need to do is slowly pour your last cup, so the last ounce or 2 remains in the pot, and then just dump that. It cleans easily, and I haven't really noticed any taste difference between this and paper filters, although the coffee is a bit more acidic. All in all, it works well and I will continue to use it.

Perfect and high quality!

They work well

We found that the paper filters just wouldn't stay upright overnight in the basket, resulting in unattended surprise overflows and a great deal of "sediment" in the coffee and everywhere else. This filter is made for this model and fits like a glove, have yet to see one ground in my cups and the rest of the household has yet to declare any. As for taste, we haven't noted any true appreciable difference, even using high grades of coffee which are distinctive, nor in the occasional purchase of more standard grades of coffee beans. All in all, I give this five stars, for a number of reasons: Far easier to "change" the filter when you have just gotten out of bed, having forgotten to set the coffee timer the night before, just dump out old grounds and sleepy fumble the filter back, rather than the floppy paper ones wrangling; Environmentally friendly, self explanatory; Cost effective over long run, those paper filters add up; Never having to find yourself needing coffee but sans filter again and looking at the roll of paper towels for rescue; Saves space on counter and/or in the cupboard, as you don't have to store paper filters; Last but not least, I am so sick of trying to pick just ONE paper filter at a time out of the stack and coming out with multiples, more of that pesky fumbling, since they don't just pop out one like a Kleenex box does. So, in conclusion, very worth it and I recommend it.
