I owned this same filter previously but gave it to my daughter who was visiting and ordered this replacement for myself. I don't use mine for coffee but for making Teeccino coffee substitute. It works very well for making that one cup of brew to satisfy my desire for something hot in the morning.
good coffee but a few problems

I purchased this product to make single cups of coffee without buying paper filters. The gold filter works well and the coffee tastes better to me. However, there are either some design flaws or I can't figure out how to use it. I generally brew at 12 - 16 oz of coffee which requires four tablespoons of ground coffee. When I do this the water diffuser sit directly on top of the coffee grounds. When you pour in the water it takes for ever for it to brew. It is also very messy to clean up. I now hold the diffuser above the filter and pour in the water. Or I don't use the diffuser at all. So I don't think the diffuser is designed well. But perhaps I am trying to brew much more than a 6 - 8 oz cup.
Perfect convenience, perfect coffee

I have used 2 of these for 20 years: one at work and one at home. I originally bought mine in Scotland! I recently damaged the filter on one and came looking to see if they were still available and was so pleased to find them here. I use very fine grind and it slows the drip rate so that I end up with a very strong cup of coffee - just the way I like it. These filters are great.
Very nice

I love my new one-cup coffee filter. It makes good strong coffee (I grind the beans a little finer than usual) and controls the flow of water onto the grounds so you don't have to sit there adding hot water little by little. Plus I don't have to buy (or throw away) filters anymore. Very highly recommended!

My first Swissgold is now 20 years old and still makes wonderful, reliable cups of coffee. I now own 2, and this purchase was a gift.
