Five Star Reviews: | 47% Got this as a gift to replace my parent's old ... September 6, 2017 Got this as a gift to replace my parent's old percolator. They use it almost every day and have no complaints. Cuisinart PRC-12 - A Coffee Pot That Does A Great Job! August 7, 2017 My wife loves it and it makes great coffee. Have had absolutely no problems. Would buy again. I like this percolator so much April 20, 2017 I like this percolator so much, I bought 2. No matter what kind of coffee I use, expensive or cheap, it all tastes good in this coffee maker! Makes great coffee. Takes very little counter space August 30, 2016 Makes great coffee. Takes very little counter space. I like the appliance October 10, 2015 I like the appliance. However, keep warm feature doesn't keep coffee very hot. Best to pour coffee into a thermos. First one I got was a lemon. It cost me $20.00 to get a replacement- including sending the lemon back. Brews Perfect Coffee October 6, 2012 I love this coffee maker! Percolator coffee simply tastes better to me, and I like that I can take this carafe straight to the table to serve my guests. I don't have a lot of counter space, so I don't want a coffee maker sitting out on my counter all the time. When this IS out, it's a nice complement to my stainless steel appliances. I had purchased an almost identical percolator by another manufacturer that was less expensive, but it burned the coffee, so I returned it. Thank you Cuisinart! | 66% Consistent quality in a time of disposable products and lives July 7, 2017 These do the job and the quality (size, thickness, etc.) is consistent, so you don't have one pot strong, one weak, one with grounds in it, one without, etc. This should be a given, but in these times, it's not. And coffee is expensive, so avoidable waste is inexcusable. Easy to use - Works as intended March 17, 2017 These are great for the percolators and you can't find them in most grocery stores anymore. The work as intended and came in bag where none of the discs were damaged upon arrival.It doesn't seem to leave any taste in the coffee and I prefer these over the just the metal or metal filters that are offered. People even reuse them, but for the price, I think it's a great product where you don't need to reuse them. Melitta Disc Coffee Filters October 5, 2016 I am so glad I found these. Stores do not carry them any more. I went back to a percolated recently. The filters do a great job. I do use one filter in the basket and one on top. This is because I use regular grind coffee. The paper is good quality and easier to use then the folded ones that come with the percolator. I will be buying more. "SOMEBODY IS GONNA GET FIRED!" September 24, 2016 I was very satisfied with this filter in my Faberware stovetop perculator. Seemed to be the missing link of my long sought after hot cup of coffee! This filter coupled with my other filter I purchased to go inside the Faberware filter setup was the gem i needed to significantly if not eliminate that crud at he bottom. I place this filter in the Faberware filter and slighlty wet it. Then I place coffee filter I purchased filled with coffee over that. Perculate and done. I now have HOT coffee without the mud. Perfect product for a Percolated cup of coffee or tea! July 31, 2014 Brewing coffee in a traditional percolator often leaves grounds floating about the mug or cup. This product filters the grounds from the the "cup o' joe" that you look forward to in the morning. These filters are perfect. They have a perforated area in the middle of the filter that accommodates the basket for brewing and will without doubt ensure that you have a cup of coffee or tea that is satisfying.....and you won't need a toothpick to remove the grounds from your teeth after enjoying your brewed libation. I recommend this product. Disc Coffee Filters January 26, 2014 We have been using perk coffee pots for many years and with the addition of this filter it keeps the grinds out of the coffee. It has a very, very fine filter. This is for those who really enjoy there coffee. Nothing like perked coffee. Many stores carry Mellitta coffee filters but the disc filter is not found in our grocery store. I guess it is not as popular since so many people are looking for the quick fix coffee. So one must order online. They are very inexpensive. We usually by 6 packages at a time. I am going to ask my local grocery store if they will add this item to their Mellitta line that is already on the self.If not we continue to order online. | 71% Well worth it! October 25, 2017 Perfect fit for the GSI Perk! This is well worth it because grounds still sneak into your coffee through the basket. Will buy again!!!! October 21, 2017 The filter fit my camping coffee pot perfectly. Made lots of pots of coffee and these filters kept the ground from getting into the pot. So happy to have found them. I didn't know filters like this still existed. Thank you!! Perfect October 13, 2017 Didn't even know these existed until I stumbled across them. Great idea. Works great at decreasing the grounds in the coffee. I say decreases, because it does not totally eliminate the grounds leaking, but it definitely reduces the amount to an absolute minimal. Will continue to purchase. Melitta 3.5 inch disc coffee filter September 26, 2017 Had old farberware electric percolator in attic we decided to use. Most coffee now is ground finer for drip coffee makers so a little sediment would be in bottom of pot. Put these round filters in bottom of coffee basket and have perfect every time in a couple minutes. perclator filters May 7, 2017 These filters really work great. I would recommend these to other percolator users. There are small and take up little space. Sized just right! March 20, 2017 Fit was perfect! Arrived with coffee pot and keeps me in perk heaven! Great product, made to fit and I am loving the coffee! | 41% Five Stars August 12, 2017 Just what we needed to stop grounds from getting into our coffee when camping. Great filter! May 24, 2017 These are great coffee filters for the little stove-top percolator! I hated cleaning out the basket and using the filters - so this is very convenient! And they last a very long time! Miss Leading and Junk May 20, 2016 This product is miss leading. Not made for a standard 12 cup percolator. Fits over the basket stem just fine but it is smaller than the basket No way you can make a full pot coffee and most of the water will miss the basket. JUNK Great addition to percolator August 1, 2013 I bought this to use with my Farberware Stainless steel Yosemite 8 cup percolator also bought from here. It fits the percolator perfectly and allows the use of regular coffee ground for standard drip coffee makers. It is a bit difficult to fill because of its small size (think of the filter size for a 4 cup drip coffee maker) due to the stem in the middle for the percolator but with careful aim it's very doable. I'm very glad I purchased this as it makes a great accessory to the percolator Excellent Filter October 5, 2011 UPDATE 10/13/2012: For those who are really put off by the size and effectiveness of this filter, I found a way to get an absolutely great tasting cup of java. Simply, brew the grounds in the percolator WITHOUT A FILTER, then sit the filter on top of your coffee mug (I have a 12 oz mug I got from here and the filter fits perfectly on it, just barely going down a little into the cup) and pour the brew thru the filter. It collects loose grounds and "sludge", and I read on one website, where it should also filter out the elements that might cause elevated blood pressure....according to a study at the website from (I believe) the University of Pennsylvania.After reading the reviews I did expect a small filter BUT this critter is teenie tiny! There is about an 1/8 inch gap between the filter and the basket in my 12 cup Presto percolator. If you use 3 heaping Tbps of coarse grounds, you can get some really good tasting coffee.Fortunately, I fix coffee only for myself and usually use only 3 (6 ounce) cups at a time. I do not believe you could make more than 5 cups of java at a time.It has its drawbacks (it takes a little extra time to clean in addition to being tiny) but the taste of the coffee (versus using a paper filter) is well worth it.UPDATE 11/17/2011: Normally, i use the coarse grind with my Presto percolator but I tried fine grind using this filter and it was great! I used the regular, paper disc filter also, and noticed a major difference....this filter produced the best taste by far. | 72% It's terrific. The coffee makers were dying after a year ... July 30, 2017 After years of expensive coffee makers, we brought an old time perculator. It's terrific. The coffee makers were dying after a year or two and the coffee was nothing exceptional plus we felt we could never really clean the parts that never see the light of day. The Presto peeculator is much less expensive and now uses a filter in or around the basket thence the old complaint of bitterness is history, beautifully smooth coffee in less time too. Two tools to clean spout and pot. What a surprise! Percolator Spout cleaner July 1, 2017 Got this when I was on a percolated coffee kick. Cleans the percolator where you can't get to it. Very useful brush for percolator owners May 22, 2017 Perfect brush for the center tube of my percolator. I was amazed how much gunk was clogging the thing even though I wash it after each use. Works for the spout as well but for the tube it fits snugly and does the job. Great product! April 3, 2017 Been looking for this for a long time, and happy to see it on Amazon. I use it every time I make percolated because I'm of the mindset that the secret to a good cup of coffee starts with an immaculately clean pot. I'm a coffee afficionado who was brought up on percolated coffee and not the drip one-time coffee makers. Great Product March 7, 2017 Works like a champ! It's long enough to get into the entire tube and get the gunk out. Cleaning a percolator tube January 11, 2013 I love my morning cups of coffe! After years of replacing my automatic drip coffee pots because of hard water residue - I bought a 4 cup percolator. It is wonderful be able to clean the pot at the kitchen sink without much ado, however, the tube is another story. The Delux Percolator, Spout & Tube Brush was just the answer. It is the perfect size, stiff enough, long enough to really clean the inside of the tube. The sturdy handle makes the job easier. |
Four Star Reviews: | 13% Should say 8-10 cups. October 16, 2016 Makes good hot coffee, but I like it strong and the basket is too small for the amount of coffee I need to use. I can't imagine ever making 12 cups in it. But it's perfect for 8 to 10, if you like it strong. Perked coffee August 3, 2016 So far it is performing well. The coffee is hotter and richer than with a drip coffee maker. It takes more time to assemble but tastes better. This can be good and bad February 7, 2016 It brews QUICKLY!This can be good and bad. In my case, I prefer a strong, slowly brewed coffee, which I can achieve by using cold water in it from the fridge. Problem solved. :) Good result but...plastic? April 25, 2015 A very good coffee maker except that the "glass" knob on top is plastic. I would buy again only if they replace the plastic with glass. New Percolator January 9, 2014 We received the order in good time and condition. Shout out to Amazon for your usual excellent service.The perc works well and makes much better coffee than those Drip things.Reason for the 4 star instead of 5 is in the quality of the manufacture. I have purchased several of these percs over the years but this one is not "finished out" like the previous ones. For instance, where the top rim of the percs in the past were folded over tight against the inside, this one has an exposed sharp edge capable of cutting the fingers of whoever is cleaning it. My wife and I both noticed it and realized it was shoddy manufacturing. (Can you say....CHINA?)Please forward this on to Cuisinart with a note to expunge the word "Classic" from the name of this model. It no longer applies. | 14% The percolator I was using wasn't brewing like I had expected November 6, 2017 They are filters. The end.Actually, I don't even know if these work ok. they are a little smaller than my percolator coffee well, but maybe it's supposed to be. The percolator I was using wasn't brewing like I had expected, so I gave up on it, so I'm not sure. The filters are good. However March 15, 2017 The filters are good. However, Please pay attention to the size. I can't use mine because they are too small at only 3.5". I didn't read past the "fits all percolators" which is a bit misleading. My fault though, I should have paid more attention. How could one size fit all models? The quality seems good though. They are... March 4, 2017 white, round, paper thin, has a small hole in the center and.........they fit my presto percolater. That's all the love you should need... There filters December 20, 2016 I ordered these for our camping kettle but I cant figure out how to work it, the coffee came out way too watery, weak, so I am sure these are great filters, there a good brand, I just need to figure out how to make my camping kettle produce awesome coffee. it seems a bit pricey for coffee filters but I ... November 18, 2016 it seems a bit pricey for coffee filters but I couldn't find this size at the local shop and there are a lot of them. I have used a few and the resulting liquids were free of detritus. It does what it says on the box. Probably should be cheaper. Needed to keep grounds out September 12, 2016 We purchased these for our new Coleman camping coffee pot. I must say they fit great inside the percolator. For the first time in years we didn't have ground in our coffee while camping! Very glad I bought these. | 13% A little overpriced.... November 4, 2017 Filters work fine, however just a little high in price. I can purchase filters for much cheaper. Good price and good quality October 14, 2017 These are good for the small percolator pot I bought. No real complaints other than the center holes are a bit difficult to pop open, and they're tight when you insert them over the stem of the pot. Not quite as easy to clean up as the square filters that you ... August 2, 2017 Works well in my Presto electric percolator. Not quite as easy to clean up as the square filters that you fold. Disc filters - okay July 22, 2017 It seems as if don't facilitate transferring flavor during the brewing process as well as the paper in other Melitta filters do but all in all they get the job done. I would like to have had a choice in paper used Helpful June 24, 2017 These work well to keep coffee grounds out of the coffee when using a percolator. Of course the grounds that get through the canister are few and settle to the bottom, so unless you are draining the percolator you can actually get by without them. Work well May 8, 2016 I'm using these with my Farberware Yosemite percolator. The coffee grounds cup is mostly closed on the sides and these filters fit flat on the bottom and do a good job of filtering out nearly all the grounds. | 12% Works good April 27, 2017 Works great. A bit small but grounds stay put and it sure is easier than paper filters to use. I was not totally satisfied using filter so I bought paper filters May 18, 2015 For me it is a dual purpose tool. I was not totally satisfied using filter so I bought paper filters. Trying to set the paper filters into the container was exasperating. So I use the filter to set the paper filter by pressing the reusable filter to press the paper filter so I can put the coffee into it. For me it was impossible to shape the paper filter properly, but by using the reusable filter it was a snap. It is perfect for the 6 cup version and the hole on ... August 1, 2014 It does it's job for my 6 cup perk and makes a strong brew. I would not use for a 12 cup perk. It is perfect for the 6 cup version and the hole on top can be resolved with putting something on top or just putting something on bottom to catch coffee the misses the container. It does not bother me as some reviews i read someone suggested putting a marble on top to load coffee....great idea. i have not tried that as i have no marble....just the ones i lost....LOL !! Filter February 3, 2014 It is smaller than the basket of my percolator, but it works. I like reusable filters and will reorder when needed. Didn't fit the Rapid Brew Percolator December 10, 2013 I haven't actually used this item because it didn't fit the percolator that I had. In fact it didn't go with it at all? It showed up at the bottom of the screen saying "frequently bought together" with the "Rapid Brew Stainless Steel Stovetop Coffee Percolator, 2-9 cup" that I bought.Luckily it wasn't expensive and I totally blame it on myself for not double checking, but still a little confused as to why this was recommended? time saver January 3, 2011 If you do not make your coffee very strong this is much easier to use than the wrap around paper filter. You can put about 5 scoops of coffee in it. This works out fine for 12 cups for me in my presto 12 cup percolator. If you like to make very strong coffee, use the wrap around filter. DISC FILTERS DO NOT WORK IN THE PRESTO 12 CUP PERCOLATOR.The basket leaves a little more sediment than the wrap around paper filter, so I did not rate it 5 star. In my presto I can just waste the last couple of ounces of coffee where all the sediment accumulates. If this basket was a little bigger in diameter more coffee would fit in it and allow the people who like very strong coffee to enjoy the easy use and clean up. It has limitations but I would buy it again because the wrap around filters are more hassle than I want every day when I make coffee. | 18% ... just what I bought it for and does a good job. It gets in small areas that you ... September 24, 2017 It does just what I bought it for and does a good job. It gets in small areas that you can't get anything else in. Great item January 23, 2017 Nice, glad I bought it…It helps clean the coffee pot where I couldn't do it! excellent March 24, 2014 cleand the percolator tube very well. I put soft scrub cleaner on the brush then clean and rinse.. I then put dish soap on the brush and clean and rinse to get the soft scrub residue off. You can see how much dirt is removed. Great Brush April 9, 2013 I have looked for a long time to find a Percolator brush that would fit in my percolator tube for cleaning the inside of the tube.. I came across this one and decided to order it, The brush work great ,anyone you uses the percolator coffee pot needs one as the tube really gets yucky inside. The company I bought the coffee pot from,recommended pipe cleaners ,I Knew that those don't work. In fact I will be ordering another one soon ( for back up). I thought shipping was a little expensive. |
Three Star Reviews: | 7% Three Stars June 20, 2017 Shorted out the third time I used it. 54.00 down the drain. Company wouldn't replace it. Squatty percolator March 15, 2017 I had a Hamilton Beach for the last 3 percolators and I was foolish not to buy another one. This one brews the coffee too quickly and leaves a burnt taste. I will probably replace next yr. The Farberware branded coffee percolator is supposed to be the ... February 28, 2017 The Farberware branded coffee percolator is supposed to be the standard. I bought the Cuisinart for the brand name. Honestly, it doesn't seem to be made very well. Based on initial use, I do not anticipate a long life for this appliance. Next time, I'll spend less to get more. Purchased September 13, 2016, the plastic on top ... November 28, 2016 Purchased September 13, 2016, the plastic on top of the lid broke November 27, 2015 Looking into return policy or exchange!! Not impressed with the Plastic breaking!! Alright January 16, 2015 I find that this percolator does not get as hot as my Faberware 8 cup one. I chose this because it made from 8 to 12 cups and love having the extra coffee for company. I have a lot cuisanart products and that is why it helped my decision, but it won't in the future. | 9% Even better if they were made with unbleached paper March 10, 2017 Peculator filter allows coffee grounds to get into the coffee. Should be shaped as a pleated basket type of filter that's used for automatic coffee makers. Even better if they were made with unbleached paper. Not big enough for some percolators. August 28, 2016 Although these might work for some percolators, they don't in mine. They're not big enough to cover all the holes and grounds still end up in my coffee. I now use 6-8 cup basket style filters and they're perfect. it would probably have been better if it was more of a basket type for ... August 5, 2016 While although these filters prevent some of the grounds from getting through, it would probably have been better if it was more of a basket type for a stovetop percolator. Overall, they are helpful though with finer grinds They're fine but the regular drip style filters still do a better job July 30, 2016 I ordered these for my 12 cup percolator as I thought they seemed to be designed for that. I had been using the regular fluted, paper filters that fit in drip coffee makers. I thought these little round filters would work better since they already have the center hole punched in them. After using both though, I've decided to stick with what I had been using, (the fluted, filters for drip coffee makers) because they seem to do a better job and are less expensive. Yes, I have to push the filter onto the center tube but that's not a big deal. I find that it's much easier to clean the basket when I use the regular drip style filters. With the round ones, the grounds stick to the sides of the basket and I have to scrap them off with the side of my finger to get them off before I wash the basket. With the fluted, drip style filter, I just dump the entire basket into the compost container and the basket is ready for washing without any prep and no mess on my hands. Work but I don't like the taste of my coffee when I use them November 2, 2015 I got these to go with my Presto percolator, and they are perfect for it. The filters cover up the little holes in the bottom of the basket so no grounds get through. However, there is a slightly bad off taste to the coffee when I use these, and all I can figure is that it's because they are bleached. I pulled the stainless steel screen off my little-used 32-oz. French press and that fits great, gets the same job done, and no more bad taste. If you tend to be sensitive to slight differences in flavors, you might want to try that instead. Amazon sells two-pack replacement screens for the French presses, and I think the 4" is what you need. They Work March 4, 2015 These filters work ok. It's perk coffee, grit gets in. If you want total cleanliness, buy the bigger, clumsier filters that you have to spend a few minutes adjusting...otherwise, slap on of these suckers in there, grind yer beans & get to brewin'. There's nothing worse than spending excess time crafting the coffee making process when you WANT coffee. Wet the bottom of the strainer before dropping the filter in. | 7% I would have been happier with these filters if they had sides so one ... January 21, 2017 Sent our percolator back because he brew time was not long enough, so e coffee was weak compared to our drip machine. I would have been happier with these filters if they had sides so one could just grab and dump the grinds like on our #4 filters. We still had to clean the grinds out of the basket. They do the job of keeping grinds out of the coffee though. Not really needed but good product. October 10, 2016 I'm sure these work for someone but I found it a hassle to use them as well as for some odd reason, having more coffee grounds ended up in the peculator than when I didn't use them. The diameter of the discs were good. It completely covered the bottom of the basket. If you use a fine ground coffee, you may need to use these. Not the easy fix I expected January 24, 2016 I was a bit disappointed in these disc coffee filters. For one thing if my basket is the least bit wet it is almost impossible to get them into place without the filter bunching up. Also I expected them to keep all of the sediment out of my herbal teas and it doesn't; it's possible that the basket wasn't draining quickly enough and causing them to get pushed out the top, but I quit using them before I figured that out. Either way they didn't work for me. It was OK, but was hoping to filter out ... December 18, 2014 It was OK, but was hoping to filter out 90% of the grounds left in the pot and 100% of the grounds in a cup of coffee. It filtered out about 40-50% in a cup of coffee. Does filter some but not what I was looking for. Even tried adding a second filter on top of the grounds in the basket, but didn't seem to make much difference overall. I use a Presto percolator. Okay, but not great... November 9, 2014 After trying all the tricks (wetting the filter for a better fit, one on bottom and top, etc.), this product is okay. I still got grounds in my coffee. I will stick with the wrap-around style, readily available from the grocery stores. | 16% Good quality. A little short on height September 25, 2017 Good quality. A little short on height. Can't hold the coffee amount for a full pot without over flowing the grounds. I'm using a Hamilton Beach percolator. Good just smallet than 12 cup pot basket September 22, 2017 Smaller than the 12 cup coffee basket made by the same company I bought at the same time. Would rather it was the right size but works good just does not hold enough grounds for a full pot. Just half size of the basket. A lot smaller than my percolator basket; I only ... September 18, 2017 A lot smaller than my percolator basket; I only use for 1/2 pots of coffee (4-6 cups) or else the may overflow the basket. Napoleon Complex July 18, 2017 Too small for a 12-14 cup percolator. Comes nowhere near the size of the percolator basket. Therefore you can only perc, maybe 8 cups...maximum. A bit small... May 4, 2017 It's great quality only it's very small. And I wish it came in a 3.5 inch diameter.I couldn't for the life of me find the size of it when I purchased it but that could just be me. "Couldn't see for lookin" as my gorgeous Dad used to always say. Not a good fit for 10-12 cup percolators August 19, 2013 As other reviewers have noted, this filter does not have sufficient capacity for many 10-12 cup percolators. It would be nice if they offered more than one size.Also, I find that I have had to increase the amount of coffee I use in my percolator (an old Corningware 10-cup model)to get the right strength--I think it's because the filter is so small in diameter that some of the water misses the basket entirely during the perking process (Pouring a half a cup of the just-perked coffee back through the grounds creates a stronger brew, but who wants to do that every time?). People with other makes of percolators may not experience this problem. If I could control the length of the perking cycle this problem might be resolved, but I can't. With coffee so expensive, it's aggravating to have to use more!I used to have a wonderful old percolator (I think it was a Presto)that had both a fine in-spout strainer and an adjustable strength setting. It kept the grounds out of my coffee and I could control the length of the perking cycle. I wish they still made it, because it made perfect coffee with any grind. | 5% It's likely useful for hanging it up to dry or for storage November 1, 2016 Whatever you do, don't cut off that white tassel. It's likely useful for hanging it up to dry or for storage. Three Stars March 4, 2015 Works perfect for the tube inside my percolate coffee pot! Will help my coffee pot maintain it's newness... Not really necessary. August 25, 2014 Not really sure the purchase of this was necessary. I think rinsing the coffee put through with warm soapy water works just as well. Maybe it's useful once a year. |
Two Star Reviews: | 10% Already doesnt work !! March 20, 2017 Bought this for my parents for a Christmas present Dec.2016 spoke to my mother today and already the coffee pot is not working at ALL !Very disappointed as I thought Cuisinart was a high quality name Works sometimes March 12, 2017 This percolator would be okay except that on occasion (once every few days) it does not perk. When I pour the coffee there is only hot water and no coffee. I have to pour the hot water out, add new water and try again. Too bad.... February 13, 2017 I had such high hopes for this...it's all good, until you go back for more coffee. It's just not keeping the coffee hot. Guess I'll go back to my regular coffee pot... Cheap chinese like the rest May 28, 2015 Bought in September 2014 died in May 2015. Brewed great coffee while it worked. Made in China junk. Under warranty so I will get a replacement. I guess I will get several by the time the three year warranty expires. There is no quality out there anymore. inferior product December 22, 2009 I bought this to replace a Melitta Java Perk that finally gave up the ghost after 8-9 years. I was concerned over some of the reviews for this product but crossed my fingers hoping for the best. Very disapointed. The coffee pot is extremely loud , making a grinding & thumping sound...the first time I tried it I thought it was going to walk across the counter. The sound terrified my cats, not what you want to hear first thing in the moring. It also did not keep the coffee hot after perking. Even without adding cream one has to microwave it. Dont waste your money. You can still find good used vintage percs that were made to last. I've since picked up several and they are far superior to what is being made today, plus they were made in the U.S.A.The seller was very responsive and processed my return in record time, the 2 stars are for the seller, the product is inferior and undeserving | 4% Don't waste your money. December 31, 2016 Nothing but a little flat disc of paper. Standard Mr. Coffee filters work muck better and at less cost. Fair December 30, 2016 Almost does the job. I'm not really sure if it is much better than the percolator basket. Grinds March 2, 2016 I prefer to use a wrap filter versus this melitta filter reason being,this filter always seems to leaves some coffee grinds in my Coffee. However, I do use it on emergency basis You will have coffee grounds in your coffee with these May 22, 2015 These allow coffee grounds to get in the coffee but at least they are easier to use than the wrap style coffee filters. I'm probably going to have to order another package of these and just keep my strainer next to the coffee pot. This Disc puts grounds in my coffee. April 1, 2014 When i use this filter. no matter how careful i am, Installing it, Filling it, and brewing it. Every time i get coffee grounds in the coffee. Perc on medium low. I started using regular automatic drip coffee filters instead. I find it works better. Just poke a hole in the center of it. the filter walls stand just above the percolator basket. I just fold them down over the basket wall,fill with coffee grounds. the basket lid will hold the filter walls up when you install it. I get no coffee grounds in my coffee like that. Not as Adavertised March 8, 2014 Let the Buyer beware that despite this Manufacturer's claim, which is printed right on the product package - "Fits ALL Percolators": It does NOT. These filters are too far under-sized to be effective on my standard-sized basket in my Coleman camp coffee pot.These filters leave 10-15% of the basket bottom uncovered, and vulnerable to grind flow-by.This Manufacturer needs to specify the exact dimensions of the filter on the package, and exactly what size basket they are intended for.I have no complaints with the Seller who delivered the product AHEAD of the scheduled Delivery date, and in a well-packaged envelope. | 3% Messy May 27, 2016 These filters work but the ones that wrap completely around the coffee grounds work much better and are worth the extra cost. These tend to leave a mess and more required clean up. Don't drain well April 3, 2016 Melitta coffee filters, After acquiring a percolater for brewing daily coffee, I quickly realized that I needed to have filters to keep the coffee grounds from getting into the coffee. These fit perfectly, and are convenient and are priced decently. So I purchased these with expectations that they would do the job. While they may help to keep some grounds out, vs not having any filter, they I still end up with grounds in the coffee, and a mess of grounds all over the filter. Thankfully the grounds do sink to the bottom of the coffee pot or cup.I think these are made too thick, not letting the coffee run through very well. I've attempted making a smaller pot with less water, and added less coffee grounds. Still the problem remains, where the basket gets too full, and not draining well. I've had a hard time deciding on how to rate these. While they may be helpful, they still aren't doing their job well. I honestly have better luck tearing up and using simple paper towels. These filters do not fit the KRUPS KM4689 Moka Brewer ... October 27, 2015 These filters do not fit the KRUPS KM4689 Moka Brewer Filter Coffee Maker correctly. They are designed for stove top brewing. However, they help emptying the ground coffee out of the filter after brewing. | 11% Too small June 27, 2017 Too small to work in a full sized percolator unless you only want 3-4 cups of coffee. Nice filter but... April 21, 2016 Since it was "frequently bought together" with the GSI 14qt coffee I was buying, I picked one up, however.... It does not fit in the coffee pot....ugh. It may just be GSI, but you've been informed. It's to tall and diam. is a little small, and lid won't close. Paper filters work ok. Pain to return, but how would you know until you try to put it in ..?? Should clarify better which pots it will (or won't) fit. No more grounds, no more flavour October 18, 2015 This product does a perfect job in keeping your cup of coffee free of grounds. Sadly, in doing so it destroys the flavour, and you need to add a lot more coffee to the filter to get it anywhere near the desired strength, but it still lacks flavour. I have decided that I prefer my coffee to be strong and full of flavour, albeit with a few grounds at the bottom, rather than weak and tasteless but free of grounds. Therefore my Perma-Brew 3 Year Re-usable Coffee filter has been cast aside after just 4 days of experiments. Not that good February 4, 2014 The filter is poorly sized for the stovetop coffee pot I purchased from Amazon. The water flows over the top allowing grounds to mix with the coffee. However, if you keep the flame low enough to perk the coffee very slowly, you can get better results. I used to cut a hole in a paper filter to fit it over the coffee pot stem. That worked better, but some people claim that coffee filtered through a paper filter loses some of the oils that help improve the taste. I've tried it both ways but my taste sensors can't discern a difference. Still, this reusable filter isn't so expensive that most people can't give it a try. Makes the percolator lid pop off December 18, 2013 I ordered this reusable coffee filter along with my Farberware 4-cup percolator. At first, the two worked well together, but within a week or two of use, the lid of the percolator flew off during brewing; coffee shot and splattered all over the countertop. I wasn't sure what the problem was since both were brand new, but after it happened a few more times, I tried a disposable disc filter and it hasn't happened since. The filer isn't made by Farberware, so it's not fair to assume that the two would work together perfectly, but I give it two stars, at least for that combination; it doesn't always make the lid pop off, but a few times is enough, considering the mess and the risk of burning passersby. washes out some of coffee flavor November 24, 2011 This coffee filter for percolator is a good idea to put the ground coffee from the grinder or bag to the pot basket without spilling in it when you put the basket inside the percolator. The problem with this filter is that is very small and will take only just enough coffe to make about only 6-8 cups in a 12 cup size percolator. If you want to make 12 cups.. well, you can't. The main "but" is that it washes out the coffee flavor and oils that make coffee a good cup of coffee. Best is Putting the grounds directly in the percolator basket will be fine with just a little bit of fine grounds in the pot when coffee is brewed. Coffee will be more flavorful and with more body. Using the filter will create a double mesh for water to go through that will result in a "watery coffee" flavor. The best way to get good coffe( to my taste) is not using the filter, instead I put the grounds straight in the percolator basket and when cleaning the pot will be ok ... and less messy than the filter.Filter Is an option to use to avoid some accidental spills in the percolator pot and with no fine grounds in it, but it will compromise the final result in coffee quality and : Flavor! | 3% Percolator brush May 9, 2017 What a disappointment - you are wasting your time with this little brush. I would not order again. Don't order. Spend the money on good coffee beans instead October 28, 2016 Effective enough, but not necessary. The percolator tube doesn't accumulate much. Spend the money on good coffee beans instead! Disapointed June 13, 2016 This was made for the "Mr. Coffee" type of coffee makers. It is pretty useless for myperculator. Cleaning brush September 18, 2015 I was hoping the bristles would be longer and not as stiff so they would clean the spout. It does work great on the tube. I like the long length and T handle. |
One Star Reviews: | 23% Cuisinart is not what it used to be! September 30, 2017 Don't waste your money on this coffee pot. I've had two lesser brands over the last couple of years and they lasted at least a year. I purchased this on 7/31/17 and today, 9/30/17 it no longer works. Every time you plug it in it blows my electrical. Prior to that it made week coffee by comparison. I have also purchased Cuisinarts traditional coffee pots and they lasted a short period of time too. I miss the old Cuisinart of my moms era. This coffee pot works one third of the time. August 31, 2017 This coffee pots works one third of the time. The rest of the time it trips the outlet for no obvious reason. When it does work it makes a great pot of coffee and the spout and time it takes is great. I am a fan of the cuisinart brand, but in this case I'm so frustrated in the morning trying to get my coffee. I will go back to Farberware. Cuisinart Crash July 31, 2017 I was looking for a good reliable pot to brew our coffee and not cheap! First one the bottom gasket got a hole/the casted piece had a bubble and it wouldn't perk, now the replacement has stopped heating after 11 months. I love the coffee when it worked, but this pot doesn't seem to make it past 11 months. went bad in less than one year June 9, 2017 Puchased in September 2016. Burned out by may 2017. Does not keep coffee hot. Drip holes in the drip basket are too large and unless you use a very coarse grind your coffee is full of grounds. Mfg. refused to honor warranty from the registration card unless I could produce a sales receipt. I'll not be buying Cuisinart products in the future. This is the second coffee pot ordered. The first ... September 19, 2016 This is the second coffee pot ordered. The first did not last 2 years with proper care. This one did not have the basket in it. Probably will return if you cannot provide the basket. Very expensive pot It makes a good cup of coffee June 12, 2016 It makes a good cup of coffee, but we were really disappointed. First it plastic and after periodic use it stopped keeping coffee hot. Luke warm at best. I would never purchase another one. | 7% Would not recommend. January 5, 2017 Seems that I have a lot a grounds in my coffee. I think it makes the coffee ground holder overflow. Would not recommend. work better than these November 4, 2016 The regular filters that I used with my Mr Coff. work better than these, just push down on the middle and the pot stem.These are not big enough . Wish I would have thought of that before I spent the money on these. Pass On This One September 26, 2016 They advertised that it fits all perculator type coffee makers. Hardly. It's useless for the very good one that I have. Wasted money. Hate them. September 19, 2016 What a rip. That's all I have to say besides the fact that I can get whole ones cheaper. Not sure if it's our coffee but these don't make ... September 22, 2015 Not sure if it's our coffee but these don't make any difference in our pot at all we still get grounds and silt at the bottom. Worth a try though I'm going to grind the coffee a bit larger next time. | 6% Stupid Purchase. October 26, 2017 Stupid to buy these filters when the standard coffee filters work better. Love our coffee pot August 21, 2017 Love our coffee pot, however this items is not do anything to reduce the amount of ground in our coffee do not bother August 6, 2017 not that great. buy a number 2 cone filter and put a small tear in the bottom. works better horrid July 14, 2017 thin and chinsy i could even bother returning it i threw them out - the second they touched the pot it disintegrated Suggested by Amazon April 3, 2017 These filters were paired with the Presto percolator I ordered. Not sure what they are filtering, but I'm getting a lot of grounds in my coffee. | 20% Too Small to Work October 14, 2017 My coffee pot basket is exactly the size indicated on the package. This filter is much smaller in diameter. In addition, the opening for the stem of the basket is too small, so this filter will not fit down into the basket. Totally unusable. Not Useful August 27, 2017 This filter will not work in most percolators. The problem is that the filter is a smaller diameter than the basket and it sticks up too high so that you cannot put the lid back on the basket. The basket lid would also make a lot of the water go outside of the filter instead of into it. It would be good if it fit tighter and had a top cover January 10, 2017 Too small, doesn't fit out to wall of percolator coffee holder. Coffee grounds don't stay in filter and you still get sediment in your coffee. It would be good if it fit tighter and had a top cover. If you use a lot of coffee to make a large pot of coffee or strong coffee his will not hold it. Needs improvement. I used it once and went back to paper filters. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY September 26, 2015 DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. It is an amazon recommended item with almost all electric percolators. But, the filter can only hold enough coffee to make 7.5-8 cups. It is recommend with all the 12 cup percolators but it only is about half the height of the grounds holder. It does not work with any 12 cup coffee makers. Shame on Amazon and the coffeemakers like the Hamilton Beach 12 cup percolator that I brought. SHAME SHAME on all the deceitful sales you have made money on. Too small for 12-cup percolator September 27, 2012 We bought the Presto 12-cup Coffee Maker (percolator) and purchased this filter as suggested in the product listing.The filter is tiny. 3" diameter. 1.5" deep. The percolator basket is 3.75" x 2.5"If we put in only four heaping teaspoons of coffee, some grounds go over the edge of the filter and find their way into the coffee.We ended up getting a refund for this filter.We tried the paper filters included with the percolator, but they are a cumbersome mess. Square filters don't work well in a round basket.In case anyone at Amazon reads this, please find a larger, reusable filter to include with the Presto percolator. | 2% It blew up, January 26, 2017 It blew up , it was the wrong voltage which was not clear when ail bought it I live in Australia |
