They work. Fast shipping from company. More expensive then they need to be. Would like them to be of unbleached material instead of bleached, but bleached is all that is available.
Also, you can't get permanent gold filters either. Frankly, I don't know any more which conglomerate owns Krups today. Nevertheless, there are only so many of us, at least in North America. They can charge whatever they want.
Maybe its because of the instability of Krups' management/owenership. Like the rest of you who have a Krups Mocka Brew, I think its fantastic. I'm no economist, but with small demand and small supply, you get higher prices as compared to filter sizes where there is competition. The filter sold on Amazon is, in fact, of better quality as compared to the quality of other filters (#2 & #4) I have bought in the past.I understand that they might sell more Moka Brews to the Euros. Is it still Lucifer (P&G).
Krups essentially has a monopoly. Maybe someone else will start making filters and we'll have some good 'ol competition. For whatever reason, Krups does not aggressively market the Moka Brew and does not sell as many Moka Brews as its other (inferior) models. Under these circumstances, I am very grateful that they make a high quality filter. When demand is small as compared to ,for example, #4 filters, you don't have many companies making filters for the Moka Brew.
I don't know of anyone besides Krups who makes filters specifically for the Moka Brew. They could try to get by with an inferior quality product, but they don't. Until then, be thankful that someone at Krups understands that Moka Brew customers expect quality, and we get it with the Krups Moka Brew Filters.
Bought this product after drinking great coffee in Amsterdam that was pressure brewed,[senseo one cup],and this machine is close but no cigar.The taste from this machine is better than drip machines but not as frothy as the Senseo.Senseo draw-back is buying your coffee in those pods,very expensive.This machine is low pressure,maybe the difference in taste.
