Why do coffee machines have plastic baskets?  The oils build up over time and add bitterness to even the best coffee.  Which is why my fair trade coffee is filtered through this ceramic basket.  

The brown unbleached filters seem less chemically, and I stopped using the #2 cone filters, because, not only are they much more expensive than the basket filters, the bottoms often break.  I’d rather not have to sieve my coffee.
