MelittaWhite Wrap Around Coffee Filter for Percolator (Pack of 2)

These are the answer to my morning coffee at the campground. It was hard to keep coffee grounds out of my percolated coffee...but these are the ticket. Fast shipping from seller as well!!

I like using these filters to keep most of the coffee grounds contained within the filter when camping. It makes for hardly any grounds in the cup and much easier cleanup of the coffee pot.

This brand is the best if you still want the great flavor from that old percolator pot. Have bought other off brands due to lower price but the hole punches were terrible, won't ever buy anything other than this brand again.

I don't write a lot of product reviews, but I felt I should in this case to help anyone considering this purchase. I enjoy perked coffee, but I do hate having grounds in my coffee. I have used the Melita disk filters in the past and been generally satisfied, but grounds can get into the coffee. Yet, the disks are VERY easy to use. The wrap around filters are not so easy, though I finally am getting the hang of it. What you don't see in the photos of the product in their wrapper is that these are square. There is a center hole that you put over the stem, then you gently push the filter down into the basket. This takes some practice to get the filter sufficiently down to create the area into which you can put your coffee. The package instructions make it sound easy, but I have not found it so. Once you put in your coffee, you fold over the corners, each of which has a hole to go over the stem as well. Since it is square and the basket is round, it takes a little practice to get all the paper in and find the holes in the corners. Once done, however, it does become like a filter pack. Your basket will come out much cleaner, there is less oil from the coffee on the basket which aids in cleanup, and I generally do not have grounds in my coffee (when I do, I believe it is due to coffee entering the stem while trying to put the coffee into the filter.) So my bottom line is I may buy this product again once i run out. I just wanted buyers to be aware that the use is not entirely easy in case that makes a difference in the buyer's ultimate decision.

These are great for use with a percolator. No grounds in the coffee at all.

I'm only on the 2nd pot of coffee using a filter. I can honestly say after the first time using a filter i was sold. Absolutely easy to use and no grounds. Plus I swear I believe the coffee taste better.

I know that Coffee Filters for an "old fashioned" electric percolator might not be a bid deal. BUT you just can't find them anywhere but on Amazon. They keep the grounds out of the coffee. Thanks

I have long loved the Melitta brand of coffee and coffee products. I really thought this was going to be a great solution for our 6 cup electric percolator. It turned out to be a lot of work for coffee consistently full of grounds.This product is designed for use in a 12 cup percolator metal basket. As others have said, you simply have to fold over the excess paper into the basket once you get the 4 corners of the paper filter seated on the metal basket stem. You will first seat the center hole of the paper filter over the center stem of your metal basket.Then next step gets more difficult. It would probably be much easier in a 12 cup basket, but in the 6 cup basket, you have so much extra paper to have to gently work with. GENTLY. More often than not, I tore the center hole while the filter was in the basket just trying to get the remaining paper tucked up around the edges of the metal basket. Once the paper filter is in place, you have to cover the hole in the metal basket while you drop your coffee into the paper filter, trying not to get any the excess folds of paper. Then while scooping your coffee in, either gently shake or turn the basket so that your coffee gets level in the filter. Once you have all the coffee in the paper filter, you fold the 4 corners over the metal stem. And then fold the excess paper into the basket.I've tried this multiple times and invariably get a lot of grounds in the coffee cups. As a side note, a small sample of Brew Rite filters of this same design came with the pot. These were the same size but made of a slightly thicker paper and worked only a little bit better.I have also tried the round discs which are perforated and can be made to fit the bottom of the metal filter basket on the 6 cupper correctly. They were much messier. My ultimate solution was a permanent filter basket, purchased here, and very few grounds wound up in the brewed coffee.
