These are a must for fans of the perc. They work perfectly, but die-hard percolator users know the key is to run the basket under cool water before inserting the filter, so it clings to the basket before scooping in the ground coffee. If you haven't tried a perc and have memories of grandma's bitter and stale percolated coffee, you owe it to yourself to try it....WITH filters!

I make my own percolator filters and they work fine. And mine are dirt cheap.

I simply buy a stack of normal basket-type filters at the grocery store. When I get home, I clamp the stack of filters tightly together and, using a Forstner bit, I drill a 3/8 inch hole through the center of the whole stack. I suppose a normal drill bit would work, but I've never tried that.

A few filters on the top of the stack tend to get ripped up, but that's not a big deal.
The filter with the hole in the center nestles nicely into the moistened perc basket and the lid fits on top like it normally does. This method stops 99% of the mud from getting into my coffee and makes cleaning out the perc basket a breeze.

I used to make the hole each morning in the basket filter using a single-hole paper punch, but that got a little tedious.
