Summary: Krups gold-tone coffee filter BASKET
Comment: This was almost exactly what I was looking for. I say almost, because it is not truly gold-plated (not nearly as expensive as you'd think.) Real gold is much easier to clean, and to keep clean; and it is chemically inert, so it can't react with other substances.
Otherwise, the Krups basket works very well. Remember that the key reason for using one of these is to not have to use paper filters. That makes this a very "green" item. I recommend it.

Summary: Not good as gold
Comment: First let me say that I bought this re-usable filter based on user reviews and the idea that I could stop buying the paper filters. There are a few downsides to using this filter. When you have finished brewing the coffee there is a silt residue at the bottom of the pot. It is something akin to the stuff on the bottom of a tea pot. You will notice a strange metallic taste with this filter. You have to clean the filter after each use. Dumping the grounds in the trash can gets most of the grounds, but you have to rinse the filter to clean out the remainder. I've had this filter nearly two months and I may go back to paper filters just to make sure the things I've noted here are directly related to the Gold Tone Filter.

Summary: No Problems
Comment: I've been using the gold tone filter since day one and I haven't had any problems. I use both pre-ground and home-ground coffee. When I grind coffee for my Krups coffee maker myself, I try to match the grind of the pre-ground coffee. I use a larger grind for my French press and it still has more sediment than coffee made with the gold tone filter. Perhaps I am not a coffee connoisseur because I haven't noticed any metallic taste. I also love to put my filter in the dishwasher.
