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.
Then I pour it out, rinse the pot and run another cycle with just water. 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.
(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 a better and far cheaper filter if you are using these for for your 12 cup electric percolator.
One additional tip about cleaning electric percolators. 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. When the light goes on after the brew cycle I let the hot dishwasher solution sit for a while.
This cleans the stainless pot and basket and even the bowl at the bottom.
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.
