does the actual filter material look like a "soft cloth- like net " or does it look more like that of a disposable coffee filter? i

I would characterize it as more "cloth-like," though it's not that "soft." It doesn't feel like a disposable coffee filter. I must admit I've never been inclined to attack one with scissors or a knife to see how it's made.

I don't think any of it is exactly "plastic." Bakelite maybe? I've been using mine for almost two years, on a daily basis. This is actually my everyday coffee maker, so it's on for about 10-12 hours a day (I'm at home full time) and I LOVE this machine!

Not sure, however it does feel like cloth. Bottom line... I accidentally threw the old filter away while cleaning it. This one fits perfectly; does the job and I can't tell any difference in the vacs performance.

Hi Cathy.......this is a very fine mesh material, I'm guessing it's made of nylon and yes, it should filter coffee grounds quite nicely.I think 4 or 5 of these come in a package and you can certainly 'rinse and repeat' often before replacement is likely to be needed.I say give it a shot.....you really have very little to lose for the price charged.hope this helps,mark

The frame is plastic, with a fine mesh filter. As far as I can tell, it's all quality material--not flimsy plastic. I've been using mine for over a year now (about 5-6 times a week, running through dishwasher on top rack) with no problems and no fading so far. The circular base detaches from the cone part for easier storage/cleaning.

Hello Stephen,We have customers who use our cheesecloth for filtering coffee, but it does take at least 2 layers to do an adequate job. The more layers, the finer the filter.

They look like some kind of paper pleated, the pad that go's in front of it looks like some kind of fiberglass that I vacuum with a shop vac when it gets dirtythat makes the filter last longer

Mine is made of glass, but the filter I use is copper. The remainder is made from plastic.

The filter is two part--cloth inside with a plastic and mesh cover over that. You can wash the cloth filter and replace it. I purchased a couple replacements from Amazon so that I always have one to put on while the other is drying. They will get to a point where they have to be replaced but I have had my vacuum two years and only replaced the cloth filter once but that may be because I wash them often, hence the beauty of having a couple of extra filters hanging around.

I use the filter because I don't like the sediment on the bottom of the coffee cup. I hope this helps you with your decision.

I recently purchased this machine and can tell you that the filter holder is a very sturdy clear plastic. Hope this helps !

No; it comes with a small black basket; you drop a disposable filter into the basket & then add your coffee; you can buy a reusable basket as an option from Amazon; I personally like being able to just drop the used filter into the trash; less mess!

I buy these disposable ones they are plastic and they ARE the filter. They work great for me. Can use one for a whole pack or more.

It comes with a filter cup that fits into a case that is placed in the machine. I remove the filter cup which is part mesh for coffee flow and wash after each use. I looked for paper filters and so far have not found any that small. I don't think it was meant to use a paper filter due to the design of the filter. The coffee grounds stay in the filter. It does a good job. Easy to wash

The Capresso a la Carte filter material is plastic and silicone. Have a good day!

It says to spot clean with mild detergent. It is not regular material, it is almost like a hard flexible plastic. I dont do how to explain it. It has a protective waterproof barrier that protects it from getting wet.

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. I have same Bunn My Café. Would like inexpensive disposable paper filter that would fit in the loose coffee tray that would fall out of the tray or easily shake it out, instead of scooping the used grounds out & rinsing the coffee tray each time. Let me know if you find a solution. Likewise, I will let you know what I find. Thanks
