For my little filter I can use a fairly fine grind - it just takes longer to 
drip through. And there are no paper filters used too, another plus.  After 
boiling the water, a cup of coffee takes literally about  4 or 5 seconds....

However, the basic structure is made of plastic and I cannot tell whether 
the mesh is metal or some sort of plastic. I'd like to get something 
different - lately, I have been thinking of a bodum system.  Anybody have 
one and what do they think?

.....I like my coffee fairly strong, grind my own and use commercially 
ground as well....

Hi Marilyn,
We have used Melitta manual coffee cones for over 30 years.
The popular single serving size for everyday plus I have a larger carafe 
size cone for when I have people over.
