[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

Tim, can you please advise me as to what is different about these filters
from Amazon as compared to the filters available at places like Wal-mart and
most grocery stores? I would also note that the pre-made coffee filter packs
with the coffee inside the filter also avoids those annoying coffee grounds
at the bottom of the perculator. They also provide for clean disposal of
coffee grounds in travel situations.
Best regards,
"Jayhawk" Rob Tabor

Hi jenny, yes they do, but they make filters that you can get from Amazon
that go into the percolator basket that will cut down on that a good bit. I
use one daily at work. If you have any other questions just give a yell.
Take care.
