The bottom of this filter is a solid piece of plastic, not a filter mesh. The water/coffee only flows out the sides, not through the bottom. Gravity using a filtered mesh on the bottom would be very helpful, but the image shown is incorrect.
Also, the handle does not securely snap into place and comes apart from the side holes that are supposed to hold it in place. I've removed it since it's worthless.
You get what you pay for here, but the photo being incorrect is really frustrating when you buy it because you want a filter with mesh sides and bottom for better flow through the grounds.
