Getting it out of the box bent the prongs that hold it together. It now wobbles so much you have to hold it the whole time youre making coffee. Not sure of the purpose for the rubber pad. Should be one piece, not 3 separate parts.

It works great in my caraf once I took off the base.

Spills when using mug topper thingy

It’s ok. Not as stable as it could be because the base is removable. Very fine ground (as in Turkish grind) coffee goes through. It’s fine for “regular” or “fine” ground.
