Decided to try this out for my pour-over routine. Paper can be inconsistent--sometimes too dense and the water just sits. Just don't grind too fine or it'll be like getting coffee in some central European dive joint, half a cup of mud.

The down side is you've got to clean the thing. No getting around that reusable items need effort. Let it dry, tap over a wastebasket, wipe with a damp cloth.

it works for what I needed it for

Nothing special. Pucture looked like it was a little more sturdy but does the job

I’m very disappointed. This filter is too big for my normal sized coffee maker. The cover won’t close all the way. I haven’t had any problems with other #4 filters. I would not recommend because it might not fit everyone coffee maker/pot.

I think I overfilled it so it took a long, long, long, long, long, long long time to drain. I actually had to empty it and start over. It was very messy. I think it's meant for just brewing a quarter cup of beans at a time. My French press will hold 32 ounces of water, so I was brewing one cup of cocoa beans. Too much!
