The Keurig Gold Tone Mesh Filter is Great. As much as I love my pods it is great to have the freedom to brew whatever I want. It is very simple and easy to use, 1 tablespoon of ground coffee for every cup you want to brew with a maximum of 15 tablespoons. I never need to make that much at once so I haven't tested the max  but I can tell you it brews an awesome 8 cups! When finished, cleaning up is a breeze. Can't complain, I am happy and would buy again in a heartbeat.
