The liner is formed of a nonwoven fiber material of a generally cylindrical form having a horizontal bottom wall with a hole formed therein to permit the perculator conduit to extend upwardly therethrough. An aluminum foil cover encloses the side walls of the liner and is stitched thereto to add strength to the side walls. The bail is used for removing the liner and the used coffee grounds following the making of the coffee with the liner preventing any grounds from reaching the coffee cup.
