Can you use a flattened out coffee filter in a large 100 cup coffee urn?

As long as you can cover the area where the grounds go…including the sides, it should work as most coffee filters are pretty strong, even if you have to use generously overlapping filters. If all you do is get the filter to the edge of the basket, coffee grounds will seep around the filter and go down into the urn.

I’ve used all kinds of things for filters…necessity being the mother of invention…and generally had good success. Even if you fail, you can pour the hot coffee into another dispenser and use the filter there.
