Product Description Specially designed to let coffee's full flavor through while trapping bitter grounds, oils, and sediment. These filters are designed to fit all percolator baskets. For best results, use regular or percolator grind coffee only. Reviews If you use a percolater, these filters really work. We have an ancient perc that heats to a perfect 195 degrees, and we buy real beans that we grind at home. These filters keep the crud out of the coffee. Since we only make 4 cups, our little perc does fine; we drink it all before it goes bad. I realize few "serious" coffee fans use percolaters these days for good reason. But our 40 year-old one really works, since it gets hot enough, fast enough. I've been told that modern percs are not the same; too cold, too hot, too long, or something. I can relate, as I have drunk some miserable perked coffee elsewhere. Long story short, if you perc, try these lovely filters. It might improve whatever you are drinking. This product is excellent. You get no grounds in your coffee. I have a percolator which we think makes the best coffee and there is no other product that can compare to this one for your percolator. image is misleading. basically, just a flat square of filter paper with a hole in the middle. you end up stuffing it down into the basket and it sometimes makes the water run around the grounds (instead of through them). Would like them to make a pre-fit filter paper "cup", but they do not. My family has used these types of filters in percolator coffee pots for decades. Then we couldn't find them anymore at the local grocery stores, for whatever reason. Found them on Amazon.com and purchased enough to last me 10 years. Love them!! 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 pot with 12 cups of water and then put one of the Cascade w/ Dawn dishwasher packets in the basket. Cascade 2-in-1 Action Pacs Dishwasher Detergent, Original Scent, 32-Count Bags (Pack of 5) I then put it together as if I was making coffee and let it go for a cycle. When the light goes on after the brew cycle I let the hot dishwasher solution sit for a while. Then I pour it out, rinse the pot and run another cycle with just water. This cleans the stainless pot and basket and even the bowl at the bottom.
