Bodum Coffee Solo Personal 10-Ounce Drip Brewer Set with Cup and Filter

For those times when you just want one good cup of coffee, the Solo does the trick. The device from coffee-whiz Bodum features two nesting plastic cylinders: the outer one with a fine stainless-steel mesh filter at the bottom, on which the grounds are placed; and an inner one with holes in the bottom, which rests just above the grounds. Fill the inner chamber with nearly-boiling water, and it drips quickly and smoothly through all the grounds at once. Catch the 10-ounce brew with the included borosilicate glass mug in a plastic holder, or use any mug of your own that fits. A great gift for yourself or a solo friend, all the parts are dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri
List Price: $22.00

Customer Review: No french press grit
I was looking for an alternative to a French press because I really dislike the grit it produces in the bottom of your mug. Tried the Bodum Solo and I'm very pleased. The only down-side is the coffee isn't as strong as that made in a French press...but the good news is: no grit, very easy to use and clean, produces a good-tasting one cup (smallish mug) of coffee. A few tips: use coarsely ground coffee (like you would with a FP); after pouring in the water, give the water filter and the coffee filter a firm press which really slows down the drip, otherwise the coffee will be much too weak.
Customer Review: yummy in my tummy
just bought this ting from target and I love it!!! Very small, very easy, and very yummy!

Customer Review: Not a good substitute for the Braun UGSF4
I bought the Medelco #4 cone permanent coffee filter as a substitute for a Braun UGSF4 filter. Unfortunately, it's not a really 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 cheaper than the corresponding Braun filter, one would end up spending much more money in the long run because you would use more ground coffee. My advice is to search the net (including e-bay) to find a genuine Braun gold filter...even though it will likely be more expensive than the Medelco filter, you'll be much happier in the long run.
Customer Review: Medelco #4 Cone Permanent Coffee Filter
I purchased this because, after about 8 months or so, I started noticing tiny holes/tears forming in the bottom of the permanent filter that came from the factory with my Braun coffee maker. It seemed to allow some of the smaller coffee grounds to come through during brewing. This product partially solved the problem. However, a more general issue with these permanent filters is that, even when they are intact, they do not filter as many particulates from the coffee as a paper filter. If you grind your own beans as I do, and your grind is on the finer side, a certain amount of 'residue' is going to come through these filters that would be stopped by a paper filter. Just keep that in mind, and don't drink those last few drops!


Rockline 43-301 Coffee Filter Disc

Brew Rite. For Norelco I and all other drip coffee makers and perculators with 3 1 2" baskets. 300 filters per bag.
Price: $2.21
Customer Review: A filter that fits in size and price
I love coffee made in a percolator, and it's essential to use a filter to get the taste right. Nowadays, grocery and department stores rarely carry disk filters for percolators, maybe because people favor the drip type of coffee makers. I was very glad to find an online source for the Rockline 43-301 filter disk that I used to get, saving me the trouble of buying drip filters from which I would cut out the center part. The Rockline disk filters are very reasonably priced (I think they charge less than stores used to charge for them!), and they don't gouge you on shipping.
