De'Longhi Permanent Filter

Paper filters trap most of the coffee's natural oils and fine particles, resulting in a very clean, light-bodied cup. This gold-tone mesh filter allows those oils to pass through into your mug, which typically creates a fuller, richer body and a more robust flavor profile.

This filter is designed for select De'Longhi models. Before purchasing, check your coffee maker's manual or the product compatibility list on our site to ensure your specific model number matches the supported list.

Not at all. Simply discard the used coffee grounds into your compost or trash, then rinse the filter under warm running water. For a deeper clean, you can occasionally use a mild dish soap and a soft brush to remove any accumulated oils.

Because the mesh allows more oils and very fine particles to pass through, you may notice a small amount of sediment at the bottom of your cup, which is typical for metal mesh filtration. If you prefer a completely sediment-free cup, this might be a slight adjustment, but most users find the trade-off in flavor well worth it.

No, the gold-tone finish is functional. It is non-reactive, meaning it won't impart any metallic taste to your coffee, and it is highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring the filter remains durable and easy to clean over time.
