As of 20-Nov-2010, the description of this item is not very complete. The items is a well-made white ceramic 1x2 size coffee filter cone.
I am obsessive about my coffee making equipment and have had several filter cones that I was not happy with. Both the rate of flow out of the cone and the amount of air flow between the filter and cone need to be right, or the coffee isn't. This is the best non-Melitta cone that I've used. I'm very pleased with it.

Getting water to flow well through a filter cone is a fine balance. If the surface of the cone is too smooth, there is not enough space between filter paper and cone for the liquid to flow. If the surface is too uneven, water will form into drops between the paper filter and cone and flow will be slow. Somewhere in between is the perfect balance - a slightly uneven surface that allows a quick flow of liquid in the narrow gap between filter paper and cone.
These porcelain 1x2 size filter cones seem to have that balance. I have owned a couple of plastic cones, made by Randwyck of Maastricht, for many years. Those, like most plastic cones, are heavily ridged inside. These porcelain cones, as can be seen from the product photograph, have slight ridging inside which works very well. Liquid drains through these porcelain cones much faster than through the plastic ones. I estimate that making a large mug of coffee, I can fill the mug through this heavy porcelain filter cone in half the time it took with a plastic one, where flow slowed to a trickle as the mug filled.
The cones are of a substantial piece of porcelain and are made by the established manufacturer William Bartleet and Sons. Compared to plastic cones, the porcelain is very easy to keep clean.
End result, a lovely mug of coffee, quickly made. Unless you have a particular need for a plastic filter cone because of the risk of breakage, these are well worth the extra expense.

As a budding coffee connoisseur & gadget lover and trying loads of coffee makers and being dissapointed. If only I had known about this great filter cone sooner I could have saved my money and bought just this! Simplicity itself, easier to clean than a french press or espresso machine as you remove the paper filter straight into the bin and wash either in the dishwasher or sink. The filters are easy to get in any supermarket. Also would be great if you were traveling or camping and wanted to have proper coffee and not the freeze dried stuff.

My own super cuppa
I love this piece of equipment. It makes a perfect cupof coffee and doea not wear like the plastic ones do. A quick rinse cleans it with a daily dip in the dishwasher.

Makes extra tasty coffee.
One issue is that it can ride around the rim of the cup, depending on the cup you're using. Read more

Excellent product
Excellent value, attractive product. Just what I need for a quick cup of coffee in the morning and much sturdier and better looking than the plastic filters and filter holders.

I like my coffee filtered, and though it was expensive, it is good quality and I am being careful not to let it drop on to the tiled floor in my kitchen. Read more

I am glad I bought it
At first I was sceptical about replacing our old Melitta plastic cone with the porcelain one. I was wrong. The porcelain one is much superior, and the coffee tasted better. Read more
