- 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 #4 wedge paper for full-size Moccamaster batch brewers, a cellulose sheet in the Melitta-wedge family — the common size shared by many drip machines and Melitta wedge cones. It fits #4 Melitta-wedge seats and interchanges with other #4 wedge papers there. Moccamaster prints no flow class, so flow is left unrated. It's an everyday single-use batch paper with no special care.
