The carafe is easy to use, and you can even fit most conventional plastic filters over the spout to make coffee right in the pot. I bought my coffee filter, along with the carafe in Denmark, but I think you can use the Alfi Aroma 3-Part Coffee Filter that should fit. The construction is solid -this will hold up for years. My Danish in-laws use their Stelton pot daily and have had it for many, many years. The Stainless Steel is brushed, and not the cheap kind you get in some other carafes. This is high quality stainless -durable and beautiful.
The only criticism about the carafe is that the it does not keep hot liquids as long as I would expect -after an hour or so, that piping hot coffee is no longer piping hot. I did use it everyday for years, but then decided on a carafe that is better insulated (Bodum). I still use the Stelton -mostly when entertaining. It's a beautiful carafe -traditional minimalist Danish design at its best. It's among the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan.I use my Stelton to make pots of tea. It stays piping hot for hours and is economical (one tea bag per pot). Love the design and nice red color.
