This #4 Porcelain coffee filter cone holder sits nicely atop most coffee mugs and thermoses, for a direct brew-in cup experience. Just set the cone on top of your cup, use either a paper filter, or one of our SwissGold #4 filters - shown below, add coffee, and hot water!
When using a paper filter, you will need to use a medium grind coffee to allow for proper filter drainage, when using a permanent metal filter, the grind size is less critical due to the better drainage. The unit has one drainage hole in the bottom of the cone, approximately 1/4" dia.
We have placed this filter cone on our website in amongst our Swissgold filters, as although its not actually gold plated, it IS a perfect match to be used with the Swissgold #4 cone filter. These units are made from high quality hard porcelain refractory, fired at a whopping 2372 degrees for extra hardness, and are especially great if you are looking to eliminate plastic from coming in contact with your daily brew.
Manufactured in Germany, in the city of Solingen, world renowed for their high quailty steel production.
We recommend pre-heating these units with hot water before making your cup of joe to bring the unit up to temperature so your coffee stays as hot as you like it!
These are NOT gold toned filters, they are actually made of 23k Gold plated stainless steel microscreen. We stock a complete line of 23k Gold filters to fit all coffee makers. No other permanent filter on the market compares to these Swissgold Swiss crafted 23k Gold plated coffee filters, which are designed to allow the natural oils of the coffee to infiltrate into your brew, adding a level of flavor and aroma you wont find with paper coffee filters. In addition, they serve to eliminate waste during the coffee brewing process, and sure come in handy when you cant get to the store to purchase paper filters!
