How it brews
The original wedge filter — Melitta invented the format in 1908 — in the familiar 1x2 (1-4 cup) and 1x4 (4-8 cup) sizes for Melitta and other trapezoid pour-over cones and drip machines. Cheap, ubiquitous, and interchangeable with the Kalita wedge seat. Melitta doesn't publish a comparative flow rating and there's no dependable within-seat ranking, so we leave flow unrated. Fold the crimped seams over in opposite directions before seating so the paper opens flat against the wedge wall.
