For use in “ALL” #4 cone coffee makers?
By Bryan
Descriptions claims it is for use in ALL, not MOST #4 Cone filtered coffee makers. Not so. Doesn’t fit my Gevalia coffee maker — I can’t even close the lid. Not worth paying to return it, so I guess I’ll cut the top ring and handle off and make it fit or throw it out.

Great product
By jrg111
I’ve been using this filter for when it comes to two weeks now. It is my primary permanent filter, and I am very happy with it is performance. It is solidly built, and with proper care will have to last rather a while. I debated on the high-end swiss gold filter, but thought the price was too high, so I figured I’d take a prospect with this one with free shipping. I can’t imagine how much better/different the swiss gold would be if any? I am using a somewhat fine ground from a good, flat burr grinder, and have had no issues of grounds/sludge in my coffee. I also purchased a new Zojirushi coffee maker at the same time, so read my review on that as well if you’re in the market for a good machine. This filter fits the Zoji perfectly.

Not a good substitute for the Braun UGSF4
By wilbur
I purchased the Medelco #4 cone permanent coffee filter as a substitute for a Braun UGSF4 filter. Unfortunately, it’s not a veritably good substitute. Although the Medelco coffee filter will fit in a Braun coffee maker, it’s not as tall and tapered as the Braun UGSF4. As a result, it doesn’t concentrate the coffee as much when it is moving through the filter so you have to substantially increase the amount of ground coffee that you are using for the same strength of coffee. So while the Medelco is initially for less than the corresponding Braun filter, one would end up spending much more cash in the long run because you would use more ground coffee. My counsel is to search the net (including e-bay) to find a authenti Braun gold filter…even even even though it will likely be more costly than the Medelco filter, you’ll be much happier in the long run.
