Melitta Coffee Filters for Percolators, White Wrap Around, 40-Count Filters (Pack of 12)

There is an easier cheaper way

There is a better and far cheaper filter if you are using these for for your 12 cup electric percolator. (Westbend, Presto, Hamilton Beach, etc)

Believe it or not, it is the ubiquitous 8-12 cup basket coffee filters that are used by everyone who has a drip coffee maker. There is no hole so you simply center the basket filter on the percolator tube and push the filter down over the tube with your thumb and fingers close to tube to make sure that the puncture is not much larger than the size of the tube. You will find that even if you tear it a little larger than the tube when you press the filter down over it there will be no problem with coffee grinds getting through.

After you do this you will have a nice paper basket filter inside you electric drip coffee maker that works better than the small round disc filters that they sell for these and save money on these expensive wrap filters.

One additional tip about cleaning electric percolators. I fill the…

Another brilliant invention, ask anyone who percolates their coffee.

I have an old, rather beat-up percolator that I bought for $1 from the neighbor lady during a garage sale. It is terrific. Easy to make the coffee, the coffee tastes great and it takes up little counter space. But I would get these grounds in my coffee cup, and I didn’t like it.

Enter the percolator filter! These are great, because the grounds really have no where to go. My grocery store used to carry (but have stopped, which isn’t good) the disc filters, which just sit under the grounds, but don’t wrap around them in any way. So the grounds can still sneak into my cup (though it is better than nothing).

Also these make disposal easy. Just tip your percolator basket thingie (I have a percolator but am clearly not an expert on them) upside down, the filter falls out and you are ready for another pot of joe.

Thank you, Melitta!

Love Old Fashioned Coffee?

If you love a great cup of old fashioned “joe,” and use a percolator, then these are the filters for you! These are a thousand times better than the round disk style filters. Because of the wrap around style of this filter, you will find no grounds in your cup, which is a major problem with the disk type filters. I bought these for my mom, and she was absolutly thrilled.
