What it does

A pack of 100 white paper basket filters sized for standard 8 to 12 cup drip coffee makers, sold mainly in Canada.

Sized for the common 8 to 12 cup basket found in most drip machines
Disposable paper, used once and thrown out with the grounds
White paper described by retailers as oxygen cleansed
Easy to find in Canada in single packs and bulk sizes

A basic, low-cost refill for anyone with a flat-bottom basket coffee maker, sold in small packs at Canadian stores and in bulk boxes for offices and food service. There is little independent testing of these filters, so the case for them rests on fit and price rather than any proven edge in taste. Cone-filter brewers need a different shape, and anyone who wants unbleached paper should look at a brown filter.
