    It looks like it would be really good with strawberries and whipped cream.

    At this point yeah why not
    Gotta fix that mess seriously. I used the sharpest knife I have and it's fine to cut the "block" I used for it through the sponge, but it doesn't work on small areas (I need a samurai sword I guess).
    I'll try to finish it with a razor blade, I think it will do. Did not feel like driving 2 1/2 hours with traffic and all to buy from the dealer what is basically a glorified sponge.

    I don't believe you can actually buy the filter anyway:

    You're right, it's not listed. I'll try the razor blade and heck, if it doesn't work well that's fine, once it goes there it'll never be seen until the next time I change it anyway.
