Melitta #1 Cone Coffee Filters, Unbleached Natural Brown, 40 Count (Pack of 12) 480 Total Filters Count - Packaging May Vary

These filters are awesome! 5 Stars!! I have been using them for a few decades now, and currently get them from Amazon through Subscribe and Save and have for several years. Again, the filters work great and I have never had a problem with the filters. However, on my last Subscribe and Save order, I only received 10 boxes of 40 inside the normal Melitta carton, not 12! I did not open the carton until after the 30 day return window, so Amazon will not deal with it, or at least I could not find a way to contact them directly. Again, this was NOT a Melitta problem. Amazon sent the order through FBA or Fulfilled by Amazon, but wherever they got the filters from, the carton did have a label from the FBA supplier that indicated there was 2 sets of 5 boxes - even though they were repacked into the original carton that says there were 12 boxes. I tried to post this review in the last few days, but Amazon rejected it because it was not allowed by "community standards" without giving any reason why the review was rejected. To Amazon, if you are going to reject this review, please tell me why! I am only trying to give anybody that orders these from Amazon, especially through Subscribe and Save with a limit of only wanting them when sold by Amazon (not third party), to simply check the carton when they get them. My original review did include images to show what I was talking about, including the label from the FBA supplier. Since it identified the supplier in the image, I am assuming that is why the review was rejected. If THIS review has something Amazon does not approve of, please let me know WHY it is being rejected. If you accept this review, you can remove this last paragraph, or if I can edit it after it is published, I will remove this last paragraph myself.

Does the job

I use these in two different models of Black and Decker single cup brewers. The filters fit into the mesh filter basket -- not a perfect fit, but they work fine. I've tried all sorts of coffee brewing methods: Aeropress, french press, pour over and I've come back to a $18 machine and these cheap filters for the best coffee experience with no fuss. I can't taste any paper flavor at all. The 12-pack of 40 filters gives me 4 to 6 months of good coffee. It is a bargain.

My wife and I use these in our single cup coffee brewer for simple, easy cleanup. Amazon seems to be the only place I can buy a case of 12 boxes of these (the 12 boxes of filters come in a small cardboard box which makes cabinet storage easy). Every grocery or discount store I visit who sells cone filters seem to carry only #2 and #4 cone filters. Sometimes they carry a larger cone filter. But I haven't seen a #1 filter in a store in 3 or 4 years. Be careful buying these on Amazon and check the prices. Once upon a time there was a vendor that was selling one box (40 filters) for close to the cost of this case of 12 boxes (a total of 480 filters). Be an educated consumer.

They work well in our one cup coffee pot

I am a little disappointed at how short these are. I am using them for a Technivorm Single Server coffee machine and they are a little too small. The filters that came with the machine that are labeled #1 cone filters are about 1 inch taller. These just barely keep the grounds from spilling over and clogging the filter basket. These are a high quality filter and they are very inexpensive, just wish they were a little taller.

These coffee filters fit perfectly in my one cup coffee maker. I used to purchase them in the grocery store but for the past few years, I have not been able to find this #1 size. I'm so glad I was able to find them on Amazon. They are the perfet size for my needs.

Hard to find item in the grocery stores available in multiple pkg.
