I was thinking the same thing, doesn't sound like a good idea. We had
a room mate long ago that left in a huff over nothing and took the
liberty to take my scuba mask for fixing pools, but left his fancy
gold plated tea/coffee strainer that fit perfect in the coffee maker.
The thing lasted a very long time, hey we didn't have to buy paper
strainers for years.
Even with the paper free filter O still use a piece of paper towel to
absorb the oils.
