Our take on the Melitta Premium 12-Cup Paper Coffee Filter

Melitta's Premium filters are unbleached brown paper cones for 12-cup drip machines, sold in packs of three boxes. The natural paper is chlorine-free and the cone shape with crimped sides is designed to hold grounds evenly so water passes through at a steady rate. They fit most standard basket brewers, including Melitta, Mr. Coffee and similar machines. Rivals like bleached white filters cost about the same but can leave a papery taste, while permanent metal filters let more sediment through. Owners like the brown paper for compost and the lack of a bleach smell.

Questions and answers

Will these fit my drip coffee maker?
They are sized for standard 12-cup basket brewers, including most Melitta and Mr. Coffee machines. They will not fit cone pour-over drippers or single-serve machines.
Do the brown filters change the taste?
Most buyers taste no difference. A few notice a faint papery note on the first pot; rinsing the filter with hot water first removes it.
Are they bleached?
No. The paper is unbleached, so it is brown and chlorine-free.
Can I compost them?
Yes. The paper and used grounds break down in a home compost bin.
How many filters come in the pack?
The pack holds three boxes of filters, enough for months of daily brewing.
Are they better than a permanent metal filter?
Paper traps more sediment and gives a cleaner cup. A metal filter lets more oils through and needs rinsing after every use.

At Quill, for $21.00, 48% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Melitta Premium 12-Cup Paper Coffee Filter?
