I love this product! It's durability it fantastic! I don't use it to make a complete pot of coffee, I use one individual "cone" to make a special cup of coffee...the old fashioned way! I put a "cone" in a small strainer, put 3 teaspoons of my favorite coffee (usually flavored...yum! yum!) in the "cone", pour hot boiling water over the coffee from my tea kettle and let it strain. It's far better tasting coffee this way and I am SO glad the strength and durability of the "cone" is so great! Thank you Overstock.com for carrying this product. I will continue to order this product from you!
