The Gold Tone Filter is built to last and provides an incredibly smooth cup of coffee. Reusable, and dishwasher safe (upper rack), this filter fits most coffee makers that use a standard #4 size filter, plus Technivorm coffee makers and most 10 and 12 cup European coffee makers. We have noticed a taste difference between coffee brewed with gold filters and coffee brewed with paper filter. Conduct your own coffee experiments to see which you prefer!
