The applicator includes a plastic disc having a central hole therein. Integral with the disc and extending from the upper side thereof is a tubular handle, the bore of the handle being in alignment or registry with the hole in the plastic disc. By means of the handle the disc can be rotatively oscillated against the uppermost paper filter of a stack of such filters so as to induce electrostatic charges thereon with the consequence that the filter clings to the lower side of the disc. The disc is slightly smaller in diameter than the diameter of the paper filters to be transferred, and the peripheral diameter of the paper filters is slightly greater than the diameter of the coffee maker basket. In this way, when the plastic disc and the filter being electrostatically carried thereby is inserted into the coffee maker basket, the peripheral edge of the filter is deflected upwardly, the frictional engagement causing the filter to remain in the basket when the plastic disc is retracted.

A method of transferring circular coffee maker filters of fibrous material from a stack of such filters into a coffee maker basket comprising the steps of rotatively oscillating a dielectric disc against the uppermost filter of said stack to induce electrostatic charges on said filter to cause said filter to cling to said disc, and inserting said disc into the basket with said filter attracted thereto to deposit said filter in said basket.
