- 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.

- How it brews
- The small wedge paper for Moccamaster's single-serve Cup-One brewer, a #1-size cellulose sheet in the Melitta-wedge family. It fits Melitta-wedge seats of that size and interchanges with other #1 wedge papers rather than with cones or flat baskets. Moccamaster publishes no fast/medium/slow class for it, so we leave flow unrated. As a batch-brewer paper it's designed to sit in the machine's basket and needs no special handling beyond the usual.
