Pack of 200

I had to write a review. I usually don't have time to write them, but I spend too much time reading them. I didn't buy these for months because of some of the negative reviews and would have purchased the higher count option if I wasn't worried because of some of the negative reviews. First, these are big and probably technically too big for a standard coffee maker. They say extra-large. Duh. I wish they were a tad smaller but if careful, they work as I expected them to which is much better than the standard ones. I actually spent a long time reading reviews of coffee makers (planning to replace a brand new one) because if I make 12cups, it overflows the filter and I have grounds in the coffee. I don’t understand why they can’t make filters to fit (and go to the top of) the basket. I don’t know if it is a coffee maker problem or a filter problem, but these filters have fixed my problem. No more babysitting my coffee maker. I wet these filters and scrunch down the sides to prevent it from folding over on itself and causing grounds to overflow the filter. I do it wet since I can easily remove the basket, put the filter in the basket dry and then wet it a bit but these could also be scrunched down or maybe folded over the basket dry to prevent it from folding in on itself. Spending a few seconds extra to get it in the basket the right way does not take nearly the time I spent babysitting the coffee, turning the pot off and on over and over to get 12 cups with no grounds in it. One review said these are low quality, thin and waxy. They are coffee filters and meant to be thin. I did not find them “waxy” at all and they stood up to me scrunching them down wet to get them tucked into the filter basket, and I also dry them out and reuse in the bottom of my compost bin to make it easier to empty. No holes or ripping. Certainly, sturdy enough to function as a coffee filter. Other reviews said they had a soapy or chemical smell. They had no odor that I found. They smelled like any other filters I have purchased and did not change the taste of the coffee. They also were completely factory sealed; not sure what DIY shrink-wrapped is supposed to look like but these were packaged just fine. The only negative, is the cost. They are certainly more expensive than the standard ones. They are bigger, they will be more. So worth it to no longer have to babysit the coffee pot! The next time I’m ordering 500!

This filter is great. I make 8 cups in my Braun drip but like my coffee to bloom awhile. This process really expands and balloons up the grounds. In normal filter sizes, it pushed grounds over the edges of the filter and into my beverage carafe. Not cool. These have solved that nasty dilemma. The thickness is perfect, too. I have been using these for over a year now and they work perfectly.

We've had a Cuisinart 12 cup grind and brew coffee maker for roughly 20 years now. Sometime in the past 2-3 years, something has changed with standard coffee filters. They've become shorter on the sides and this allows grounds to overflow and enter the carafe if you are brewing 10 or more cups and sometimes as little as 8 cups. So began my search for a suitable replacement for store bought or standard filters as I got tired of pouring my coffee through a strainer to catch grounds. A residential coffee maker typically has a 3.25 inch bottom and ideally the sides would be 2 3/4". Alas, most of the standard filters have only 2 1/4" sides allowing the overflow. The Stay Smart Way filters are for a commercial coffee maker and have 4.5 inch bottoms and the sides are 2 3/4" high. This leads to a slight challenge as the bottom is larger than a home coffee maker. The good news is they work and work well to prevent ground overflow. The bad news is they don't just drop in, they do require you to press them down and make sure you keep the top relatively even as it get seated. There will be some folds on the sides but the top fits on the basket and everything works perfectly. The extra 30 seconds of fitment are more than worth it to me to avoid the ground overflow. I believe someone mentioned the flatten out over time during storage. If you cut or tear a hole in the top to allow removing a filter, leaving the rest in the packaging will ensure they retain their shape. The filter is a good thickness to prevent tears yet allows coffee to pass through with no issues. I highly recommend these. If a filter manufacturer happens to ready this, increasing the side height on a standard filter to be 2 3/4" would immediately separate you from the crowded field and lead to more sales. Just check the coffee filter reviews here for confirmation of how badly people are looking for this.

This is perfect size for Keurig Coffee Duo!! We like our coffee dark and regular size does not fill the basket! It's too bad the Keurig doesn't suggest this. We experimented with regular paper size and filter basket. What a mess!

We recently got a 12 cup coffee maker and ran out and bought filters at the store only to find they were too small and overflowed making a mess even thought the label said they would accommodate our machine.... ran back to the store and bought the flat envelope style again labeled for our machine (Mr Coffee).... OVERFLOWED!!! Found a reusable coffee basket and it also overflowed. I was about to return the coffee maker and saw these and figure what the heck I am gonna give it one more try....these not only fit perfect but no overflowing since. I took a Star away because of the price.

These filters are a perfect fit for my BUNN coffee maker. I like that they’re unbleached and non-toxic—it’s reassuring to know I’m brewing coffee without added chemicals.

Used these filters for our Percolator for a family reunion and it was big enough so no grinds got through, I was pleased and recommend for large machines, sorry didn’t get a picture of the filter I was a little busy but this is the machine we used it in and laid the filter flat out

Can put a lot of coffee into these filters

We use these extra large filters to make cold brew! Perfect fit will order again when we run out!

These filters work great in 8-12 cup coffee makers. They are great for ensuring that coffee grinds don’t pass through to the pot.
