Coffee Filter (5 star review)
I needed a small permanent coffee filter for my 4-cup Mr. Coffee. It fits perfectly and no coffee grounds leak out.
Perfect! (5 star review)
This fits perfectly in the "Mr. Coffee 4 cup". This was bought because the paper filters are always caving in as the water drips through it. So not only is this perfect for solving that problem, but it also is better for the environment. Oh, and it's easy to clean too.

Does Not Fit Hamilton Beach HDC700S (1 star review)
The filter is so small that most of the water bypasses the filter. A phone call to Medelco was a waste of time.
Rip off pricing and shipping (1 star review)
This filter has been for sale for 8.99 recently, but now other sites all lead only to here where it is suddenly selling for $16.99 ("down from $23.99" is BS), at twice the price. The larger 10 cup model only costs 9.99, is available everywhere.
Then, insultingly, shipping weight is listed as a whopping lying 4 pounds. This item weighs 3 ounces (company website is honest at least).
Isn't that illegal, to charge shipping costs based on fake weights? I know handling costs something, but that is in a different tax category - shipping "reimbursement" goes right into the seller's pocket as hidden profit. It probably costs 80 cents parcel post to send this item. They want to charge 10 times that amount when it is already marked up 175 percent!
What gives? If sellers wanted to help the environment, they would make products such as this easily available, not take such gross advantage of people trying to change. This is called profiteering.

Makes weak coffee (1 star review)
This filter wss purchased for use in a Mr Coffee DR4.
It replaces a permanent filter from Mr Coffee that had a plastic bottom with the mesh only on the sides.
The Medelco filter has mesh on the bottom as well as the sides, thus the water runs through the filter too fast resulting in weak coffee.
The only suggestion from Medelco's help line was to use more coffee!
