can it be used to clean plastic coffee baskets? Is there a difference?

Yes, it can! Let the basket soak in a solution of powder Dip-It as per the instructions on the box it comes in. For very stained baskets scrub stained surfaces with a good brush and you will be amazed at the results.

If you google the make and model number of your coffee maker and the word cleaning, you will find your answer including most likely youtube videos to demonstrate. The cleaner is fantastic, just not familiar with your machine. Mix it with water according to the label and use it instead of vinegar in the cleaning instructions.

The basic answer is 'no'. It didn't work when I ground my coffee at 'fine' on the Bunn Commercial coffee grinder. It overflowed the basket almost every time. The finer coffee will just make it worse. The problem is the bottom which is solid plastic with no holes and the coffee just plugs the screening. Sorry, that is my finding.

It has a plastic basket which needs a paper filter inserted into it to hold the coffee grounds.

A filter and a filter basket are separate things. The filter basket is what you put the filter of your choice into. It is nice that it is removable so you don't have to handle a soggy filter and you can clean the basket itself when it develops coffee build up. But the basket is NOT the filter. Speaking of the filter, I did switch from paper filters to using a reusable basket type filter a few years ago. I do really like them. But whatever filter you use it is separate from what is included in buying a coffee machine.

I gave this as a gift to a friend who travels but i would think you could clean with Vinegar & water as you would any coffee or tea pot.hope this helps, I have also used baking powder to clean coffee pots.

Sorry I don't know about the gold filter basket, but these things work great in cleaning coffee stains off of the metal and glass used on my Bunn coffee maker. When I use them, I don't use a filter, I just place the tablet in the basket.

If it really bothers you, do this 1. disposable 25 cent gloves 2. Urnex or similar coffee machine cleaner. Their basic multipurpose blue liquid is best for home use 3. Sponge with very hot water + one squirt of Urnex. 30 seconds and you're done. Coffee cleaner is a detergent particularly formulated to dissolve coffee crud. In a minute it cleans out more embedded coffee than an hour of soaking. That is much better than attacking your stuff with bleach, abrasive cleaners or the dishwasher, any of which can damage fancy things.

Yes. The directions recommend you always use the basket, and not clean things directly against the metal surface on the bottom.

it can be used for any liquid you want to keep hot, just don't use the steep basket. You cannot put coffee grinds in the steep basket and hope to make coffee though (if that's what you're thinking); the holes in the basket would be too large.

Yes, I have used this for cleaning rings, eyeglasses and small electronic devices. It should work just fine, just place them in the supplied basket and run as many cycles as required for the desired cleaning effect.

Have only used it a couple times and it works well, the only flaw you beat the basket into the trash and still not all grounds come out so of course you then wash it out, I figure it's nice to have on hand if we run out of paper filters, beats a paper towel or a last minute run to the supermarket! Hope this helps!

I use it for auto glass not for plastic. There are cleaners used for auto plastic.

The basket inside the coffee maker is made of plastic material and does come in contact with the water during the brewing process.

I use paper filters with the basket because if you didn't the coffee grounds would pour through with the coffee. I prefer not to drink the grounds! :)

You can use paper filters in the large basket but paper filters will not fit the split basket. You could use large paper filters and still make single cups they would just have to be the same type of coffee. You would lose the ability to make two different kinds of coffee.

If you currently use smaller paper basket type filters in your coffee maker, this filter is bigger in diameter. Not much bigger, probably an inch or two. If you use a large filter than the normal coffee filters available, this basket filter will suit you. It is a commercial size filter which is larger than the smaller filter baskets used in small capacity coffee makers. If you currently use a smaller filter, they are also cheaper than the bunn 1000 filters.
