Bunn paper filters are 1 inch higher than standard. So I ordered this gold one. I have a Bunn 10 cup, and have found finding paper filters are not being sold locally anymore. The gold filter needs to be 1 inch higher and have a different base to fit a Bunn. It really does not fit, and could not have been designed for the Bunn. It sorta-kinda rests, rocking near the bottom of the filter basket and is the height of a standard filter - not the hight needed for a Bunn. It does not work and is a waste of money. I am sure it will be fine for any other brand coffee maker, but if you have a Bunn avoid it.
It also doesn't let through a lot of junk unlike other permanent filters. This has been the best filter that I have used. It lets all of the oils through unlike paper filters which soak them up. I brew 6-10 cups at a time and have had no problems with it.This is with out a doubt the best filter on the market. It goes great with a conical burr grinder and some Jamaican Blue Mountain.
Coffee brand metal filters wich look to be alot taller and alot more is acctually a filter mesh, plus they are only $7. coffee 10-12 cup makers.
This filter is 75% solid plastic and only 25% filter mesh, the entire bottom of it is plastic. It is also about an inch shorter than the paper filters that fit the basket.
I have this filter and I use it with a brand new programable Mr.Coffee coffee maker. I use the strong setting wich brews even slower, so at normal brew setting you could probably only fit about 6 tablespoons of grounds I dont understand why the packaging sais it works with mr.
Anyway, these things combined cause this filter to over flow and make a huge mess and nasty coffee. You will NOT be able to brew more than 7 or 8 tablespoons of coffee grounds in this filter at once.
I'm going to try the acctuall Mr. On the other hand, the filter does make a good cup of coffee, so if you never plan on making more than 4 cups at a time then its a great filter.
