I like it, very reasonable price.I bought Melitta no.1 filters and they work fine but are smaller than the filter holder(filter top is about even with the rim, but there is a gap between the filter and the porcelain holder).I used some Melitta no.4 cone filters and they work fine even though they extend way above the rim.The no.4s actually work quite well as they guard against overfilling and spilling over. So, I don't recommend buying no.4s, but if you have no.4 filters you can use them to see how you like it without buying no.1s.I might even try some no.2 cone filters, I have a feeling they might be the best fit.Just be aware it is a small coffee maker and that the coffee doesn't stay hot too long in it.I find myself drinking the first cup faster so that the second cup won't get cold.Of course, I could just poor the whole thing in a larger thermal coffee cup or make one cup at a time.
Finally, I do think it tastes really good, no plastic flavors!The water temperature and the size of your grind are crucial in getting the right flavor but well worth it.On my coffee grinder, I set it closer to the french press setting than to the cone filter setting, of course this will vary depending on the grinder and personal preferences.The online sources that I have read say the water temp should be about 200F, and they recommend not letting it boil or at least for long, since this causes the air to go out of the water and will make it flat.I found different temperatures do change the flavor a fair amount;maybe I over heated it, not sure.I will order a thermometer in the future so I can experiment with different temperatures.
I hope this was helpful. Enjoy!
