Can you answer dookiedookiepooo11’s question about Coffee?:
Are coffee machines with permanent coffee filters good? I have a coffee machine that uses the disposable filters, and I’m considering buying one with a permanent filter. Are they good? Are they bad? What are the pros and cons about them?

Coffee Feedback: You do not need to buy a whole new coffee maker - you can get a washable filter basket that is used instead of paper filters.
I find the coffee comes out cloudier looking but still tastes fine.
Coffee Feedback: Many people believe that a gold filter (one of the permanent varieties) makes the coffee smoother and less bitter.
Having said that - personally, I find them annoying to clean - so I use a paper filter in my permanent one. That, I think, makes it even smoother still!
Best of luck!
Coffee Feedback: Coffee machines with permanent filters are good. Paper filters take flavor from the coffee and put in paper flavor but it depends on your palate whether or not you can taste it or if it even matters to you. They say the gold filter is the best filter to keep flavor. The only con to the permanent filters is that the good ones are around $20 to replace but they do last a long time. And you should be able to buy a gold filter for your existing coffee maker.
Coffee Feedback: doesnt really matter either way, you just dont have to buy the paper filters all the time.
Coffee Feedback: Gotta clean the permanent filter every time you use it
