Yes Madame, it's around 10-12k when I last looked around.

ess, right on the paper filter trapping oils. I'm actually looking around if there's an alternative "filter" that I can use.

You'll get a better flavor if you use a permanent filter. However, you'll also get some fine silt/sediments. This is not really a problem...but you wouldn't want to drink the coffee to the last drop though. The sediments tastes really nasty. Also, if you will be going with a permanent filter, get the metal one. The plastic one somehow imparts a slight aftertaste.

If you use a paper filter, you will not get those nasty sediments. However, paper filters trap the essential oils that are released during the brewing process. This mutes the flavor a little bit.

You're right there bro. That's the reason why I have a permanent filter in our coffee maker..... Cleaning the filter after the drip is not a bother.....

French presses?... I usually get full shots of these at Starbucks....
