I received this mesh filter to sample and write an honest review. The mesh is made from durable steel mesh and fits my coffee machine perfectly.  I found that you can use this mesh filter with paper filters, or if you run out of paper filters you can use it by itself.  The clean up is a breeze.  Just  grab the filter, turn it over, and bang, out comes the paper coffee filter and its coffee grounds. Now just rinse the mesh filter and get it ready for your next perfect cup of coffee.  If you own a coffee machine that uses this type of mesh filter, go get yourself one.
