Are there any more affordable third-party options to the Bodum-brand filter? $14 for a piece of metal mesh seems a bit ridiculous. That's more than half the price of a new 12-cup New Kenya press, for example.

I had found alternatives when I was actively looking. Nothing that was garaunteed to work. Considering this part is steel and can be aggressively cleaned. They have lasted for years for me. The price was worth the lifetime of the part.

I've not found any 3rd party options. I barely found this one. :) Honestly, if the dishtowel hadn't snagged and frayed my old one, I wouldn't have had to replace it. I don't see this as a standard consumable item but more of a piece that broke and is necessary for operation. It's pricey but necessary.

I have not found any myself and have often looked in specialty coffee shops, etc. the one time I did find them was on a random chance, they were not made for a bodum brand and promptly frayed within a week.

This same part on Bodum's own website is $8, although I don't know how much it comes to when postage is added.

Ok, It is here and the Carafe is a PERFECT MATCH! Just save the lid of the older carafe since they are different, they are interchangeable but the newer one that comes with the Mr. Coffee carafe will not work with the Melitta Pause and Serve Function. The part number off of their website is MCESD12. The price was $13.95 plus shipping.Here is the link again for the white one:http://www.nelsonappliance.com/Mr.+Coffee+%23ESD12+Coffee+Maker+Carafes+(12+Cup).html . and then the link for the black one is: http://www.nelsonappliance.com/Mr.+Coffee+%23ESD13+Coffee+Maker+Carafes+(12+Cup).html Ok, It is here and the Carafe is a PERFECT MATCH!

I think distributors often cost more, not sure why. I almost always go directly to manufacturer on this type of product. Pays to shop around though if you have the time. I got mine for under $900 from an allergy website that was having a sale.

Don't use the replacement filters. See my review on the product to understand why. The replacement filters simply don't work properly. The filters in the frame work best. I called Mr Coffee and complained about the replacement filters and they apologized for my experience and shipped me out two WF10s (filter and frame).Sunbeam/Mr Coffee support told me they have a subscribe program for these filters you get 3 WF-10's every 3 months, net cost is $10, and they don't charge you for shipping. This is an excellent deal if you're looking for using these on a regular basis.

Stainless steel mesh just like my Bodum small press. I use this one when I want more than a single cup....it works great.

Apparently the Mr. Coffee Brand 4 cup Permanent Filter is considered and Extra, some models include them. Mine did not. That and Mr. Coffee Brand 4 cup Basket Style Paper filters and coffee scoop can be purchased at 1-800-672-6333. I purchase Melitta Super Premium Coffee Filters 200 per package, $2.59 ( natural). This info is in the Manual that came with my unit. LMG

You aren't the only one who wants to know why this is so much more expensive now. I broke my upper bowl and was going to get another. Can't find a replacement now for just the upper bowl and the complete siphon is a bit too pricey lately. Still waiting for the price to drop some. :(

Not sure if the other Marley Coffee's have this filter but blue mountain coffee is very expensive. Usually from Jamaica, one of the best coffee's I've ever had is blue mountain. I am cheap and won't buy the blue mountain here in the states because just a box of 10 goes for 20$ and a bag of it is forty something. Very good coffee but for $82 dollars i'd have to cherish it and drink it like I do a fine wine.

Perhaps if you want to use your own ingredients and pre-fill multiple Cups. Re-usable K-Cups appear to be the cheapest route costing about 10 or 15 cents per cup for coffee ingredients. The Ekobrew Stainless appears to be a highly rated option (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00859FH7O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1).

I went to Melitta today and ordered two replacement carafes today for $9.99 each. I was thrilled! Here is the link.https://shop.melitta.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=30+644B

Yes, the replacement glass is made and labeled by Bodum. Way cheaper than a whole new press. This is probably the 4th replacement I have purchased for my French press purchased about 15 years ago.

I also bought it for $14.99 with prime. As much as I love timmies coffee, I think $30 is expensive and I would not have bought it at that price.

Jut wanted to add - there are LOTS of pods available, from Melita as well as a bunch of other coffee makers. Also, I've found the pods to be much less expensive than K-Cups

Good question, not sure there is an easy answer. What I do is slip a business card between the mesh filter and knock out any large grinds. My suggestion is that you wash the filter as soon as possible after making your pot of coffee. I have been using my pot for a very long time and it still looks like new. My only other suggestion is that you visit the Bodum website and see if they have any suggestions. This is a great pot, I love it. Well built and the coffee is fantastic.

Doesn't seem to be one on Amazon unfortunately. Suggest trying Moccamaster <dot> com which is the manufacturer's site -- looks like they're available for $35. If you search a bit, other places like Seattle Coffee Gear have them as well though I haven't found any at a better price.

The new 2.0 machines are programmed to NOT accept any K cup that are unlicensed. It's supposed to be to keep the quality of K cups high but I suspect, as would anyone reading the material available, it's just all about money. It's too bad as these Kona Cups are so absolutely smooth. I'm sorry to hear about your dilemma. I don't know anyway around it.

Wow! The price is now at $31.11! That's cheaper than buying just the replacement filter cartridge which is $43.34! Be warned though - the Katadyn doesn't hold up. I'm the quartermaster of a Boy Scouts troop and we've had several of them break on us. I won't buy them again.
