Very poor service & wrong information in ad. Was sent only 2 boxes of 40 when I ordered 24. Took 3 phone calls & online messages,still didn’t get them. Very bad practice to advertise and not come through! I could not believe that this happened!

I am continually pleased with the elegant, simple, effective design of the Melitta system. And it’s great to be able to get the unbleached filters. The Melitta system is easy, and it delivers consistently good coffee. You can make a cup or make a pot. These are the large filters for making a pot. Great product!

I’ve used the Mellita Coffee System for about 40 years. I find the system more convenient than coffee machines.
If the power goes off, you can still make coffee if you have a gas stove or a camp stove.
It is easy to brew exactly the amount of coffee you want, and exactly the strength that you want—including adjusting to new roast and grinds. You can even mix caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees if you wish. I often re-use the morning’s grinds in the afternoon, by adding a spoon of decaffeinated coffee. That is more difficult with an automatic coffee machine.
In a way, the Mellita system is more “sanitary”. It is easy to forget a used filter in a coffee maker, maybe for weeks if you go on a vacation, and find a fungus garden in their. You can’t ignore a used Melitta filter, because it is out in the open.
Although most people use smaller Mellita filters and cones, I prefer the large #6 system. The #6 system (filters, cone, and caraf) is intended for brewing 4-8 cups at a time. However, the larger filter holds more water, and it drains faster, so you can brew 2 cups of coffee with a #6 filter faster than with a #4 filter. So the #6 system is faster and more flexible, at a very slightly higher cost for the filters.
If you grind your own coffee, the water (for 1-2 cups) is almost boiling by the time you’ve set up the filter, ground the coffee, and put away the coffee grinder. A #6 filter actually holds the water for about 2 cups of coffee, but drains so fast that pouring 4-8 cups of water through just takes perhaps 10–15 seconds. The correspondding #6 glass caraf is marked for up to 8 cups, but obviously it takes longer to boil the water for 8 or so cups of coffee.
It’s as simple as it gets, the price of the filters is cheap, and the quality of the results as terrific. What else could you want?
Presuably, brown filters are easier on the environment—and on you, less chemicals having been used to manufacture them.
The specific Amazon product is probably the cheapest way to purchase the prefered filters.
HINT Fold over the “joined” edges of the filters. That makes them fit more securely in the cones, and more widely open. It makes pouring water in easier and minimizes accidents.

These are the best paper coffee filters I’ve found. Just make sure to fold over the crimped edges so that the filter doesn’t come apart during brewing. I use the “pour over” method of brewing coffee with a filter cone because most coffee makers do not get the water hot enough for a proper brew. I brew directly in to a stainless carafe.
Unlike other reviewers, I received all 12 boxes of filters.
I use this filter cone & brew directly in to my stainless carafe:
Copco 2 Quart Thermal Capacity Brushed Stainless Steel Carafe
RSVP Maunual Drip Coffee Filter Cone for Carafes or Thermos
I use this water kettle to heat the water:
Oster 5965 Stainless-Steel 1-1/2-Liter Electric Water Kettle

It is great to have a 12 pack of filters. It was really hard to find size 6 in stores and they always seemed expensive. This way I can make my coffee faster for a very long time. Great purchase.
