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 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. 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. You will find that even if you tear it a little larger than the tube when you press down over it there will be no problem with coffee 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.
I purchased these percolator filters to go with a percolator pot that I ordered at the same time.thinking that it would be cleaner and easier to handle the grounds.I hate them. They're more trouble than they're worth.I couldn't get them to fit right, and made more of a mess trying to use them.will never try them again.
Push down to hold coffee and wrap up, couldn't be easier.I will never go back to automatic drip again. (The disc type leaves a lot of grounds in the pot, even with one on top and one on the bottom of the coffee).Hint: make sure your basket is completely dry before you try to use these as the filter will tear if it is wet.
at first the coffee was full of grounds, not good. After our last automatic drip coffeemaker died we brought out our old electric percolator pot.
No grounds in the coffee. Decided to purchase both the disc filters and these 'wrap around' filters.
After using both I must admit that the wrap around filters are the way to go. I also crumple them up a little before I put it in the basket.
not only do we save money by using the percolator pot by using less coffee per pot, we also have never tasted coffee so delish.I give this product 10 stars if I could.
