Since I am a restaurant chef I bring home coffee filters from the commercial Bunn or any other commercial machine and they fit perfectly in the kitchen aid giving plenty of space for grounds. They are at least an inch taller. Incidentally the commercial size gold filters fit in the kitchen aid as well. I found the original filters too small to make a large pot of coffee. Think about it. 1-2 tbs per cup is the recomended amount. 12 cups could be from 12-24 tbs of coffee or a cup to a cup and a half of ground coffee. It wont fit in the regular size filters without overflowing all over. The commercial filters are sold by the 1000ct and are about 1/10 of the price.
