What I expect.
I really like the MELITTA brewing system and have bee using it for many years. I have several spare pots and cones as they have become difficult to find. Now the #6 filters are beginning to disappear from store shelves. This should keep me going for a while.
As much as I like the filters and the price
As much as I like the filters and the price. I think there was a mistake that I tried to get help with and got no response so far.
I ordered 5 packages of 40 filters each for a total of 200 filters.
This is what shipped – 5x Melitta 6 Cone (PA6-40 NB)-Filter Paper-12 Pack
What I received was 5 cartons of 12 packages, each containing 40 filters. Each carton had 480 filters. Total received 2400 filters! That’s about 3-5 years worth of filters by my estimate. BTW, my total order came in 3 shipments. The first shipment had 3 cartons and I tried to cancel the remaining 2 shipments of a 12pk carton each.
I can’t really complain since I was only charged for 5 packages, not 5x 12pks.
Been using these for years, hard to find locally. Found them here and have bought them many times. They are reliable and effective. Plus the price is good! Seems like a win to me!
I use these with a large pour over carafe, as shown in the pictures, to make cold brew. It is hard for me to find #6 cone filters in the supermarket, but easy to get them here on Amazon, and at a great price here buying in bulk. I make a lot of coffee, and these last me a long time.
I scoop fresh ground coffee into a large mason jar or a juice bottle, I use quite a bit to make the cold brew strong. Then I add water, put the lid on, and put it in the refrigerator for 2 days. Then I pour it through this filter into a carafe and it is good to go. Best and easiest way to make cold brew that I have found.
Smooth operator! No chemicals!
Melitta makes extremely smooth acid free coffee unlike ANY other brewing method, and I have tried them all! Has been my go-to system for as long as they have made it! Nothing else even comes close. And this price for bulk users can’t be beat! Also note it has been almost impossible to find the #6 filters in any local retail store at all, not even some other brand, let alone at this price. I personally have not seen any change in the quality of the product. To date I have not experienced even one “breakthrough”. I appreciate the non-bleached brown material as a healthier, environmental, and chemical free alternative in a brewing method I use several times a day.
Environmentally safe Filters
I’ve usually used the bleached “white” filters from Melitta but thought I’d give these a shot. Glad I did, they are very sturdy and deliver an excellent pot of coffee. Better for the environment as well. Package arrived in perfect shape, fast delivery and now have over a years worth of filters for a great price.
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 not recommended with an automatic coffee machine—because if you clog up the filter, the boiling water could overflow. No problem clogging up a Melitta filter, if it drains slowly, then pour slowly.
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 there. You can’t ignore a used Melitta filter, because it is out in the open. If you forget a used Melitta filter, it and the coffee grinds just dry out.
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 corresponding #6 glass carafe 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?
Presumably, 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 preferred filters.
NOTE
It is important to take care to pour the boiling water into the filter, not between the filter and the filter cone. It is any easy accident to make. To minimize such accidents, fold over the “joined” edges of the filters so that the filter opens wider. If you are a particular klutz, a quick rinse with a little cold water before you add the coffee can “glue” the filter to the cone.
Recommendation: After major grocery shopping expeditions, sit down at your computer with your receipt, and check if you can buy any of the non-perishables through Amazon. When you find items (even if more expensive than you just paid), put the item on your Amazon wish list, and add a note to the wish list of the price you just paid. Check your wish list frequently, and when you see an item you need at a bargain price, buy it.
