Or is it the history channel? Anyway, I figured out how to make these envelopes work perfectly every time. It takes about 5 seconds.First, I should mention that I already posted a comment about these filters. Then, as I read through other comments, I could see only two reasons for complaints. But they were valid complaints.1. They’re too hard to put in the percolator basket without tearing the center hole.2. If you do manage to get the filter down inside without mangling it, then add coffee and fold the edges down over the stem, you end up with WEAK COFFEE. (And brother, do I hate weak coffee.)Why is the coffee weak?Because with that little envelope folded nice and snug around the coffee, a lot of water just runs past it, not through it.Easy fix. End all your frustrations โ or at least those that concern these filters โ and get back to having that cup of morning coffee the way most of us like it: NOW!Find a drinking glass that fits (upside down, of course) into your percolator basket as close as possible to the sides at the bottom of the basket. I happened to find one that fits perfectly. (It was in the dishwasher!) So I stopped looking. But I imagine a Dixie cup, or some other type of disposable cup would work too.Unfold the envelope filter, lay it flat across the top of the basket, then push the center of it down โ just a little โ over the stem. Not more than 1/4 inch or so. You want the filter to stay flat.Take the drinking glass, flip it upside down and hold it over the filter, centered on the basket. DON’T PUSH THE GLASS DOWN! That will just tear the center hole. Instead, while holding the glass against the filter, pull the filter up with your free hand and press it around the sides of the glass.Lower the glass down to the bottom of the basket. Then hold the filter down and lift the glass out.That, my friends, is a perfectly placed filter, flat against the bottom of the basket. And that takes care of the trouble with putting an envelop-style filter in a percolator basket. Easy-peasy.Now, on to problem #2 (above): weak coffee.But first, a hint on spooning coffee into the basket with that stem sticking up so close to the sides of the basket. Put your thumb over the stem, then dump the coffee in. Seriously, you can do it with your eyes closed.Now comes the important part. DON’T FOLD THE FILTER INWARD. I know, I know, Melitta says fold it in and push the corners over the stem. If you like weak coffee, do that. Or, I suppose you could add more coffee (as some who posted here have suggested), but why use more coffee than you have to. (It’s kind of expensive.)FOLD THE FILTER OUTSIDE THE TOP OF THE BASKET, then press it down the sides. Put the basket lid in place, and you’ll notice it locks the filter in place. The water has no place to go but down through the coffee.The only drawback to this method โ and it is so minor as to barely merit mention โ is that as you insert the filled-and-capped basket into the percolator, those filter edges tend to get in the way.Tuck them in with a butter knife.Seriously, folks, don’t go back to drip-brew simply because these envelopes are too hard to manage. Try this method. It’s a piece of cake. (Or a blueberry muffin or whatever you like with your coffee.)Enjoy.

Worked just like it use to. Helps keep grounds out of the coffee when using a perculator.

I didnโt like how they worked in my percolator coffee pot, though they were the recommended size. I ended up using the larger round ones and just being careful when I fill it!
