We have had the BVMC-SJX33GT silver maker just over a month and just replaced the filter that came with it and have been very satisfied with it's performance and the great coffee it produces. We feel the filter helps make a big difference in the taste of the coffee.
We do have more filters because I ordered more as soon as we got the maker.
Ordering was good and we got them in very little time.
So far we are very pleased with everything.
