Coffee Filter Conspiracy

How's this for a scoop?

Coffee filter makers everywhere have all banded together and they're making the 8-12 cup size basket style paper filter shorter. They used to be 2 and 1/2 inches tall, and now they're 2 and 1/4 inches. It's a black day in the history of coffee.

I know you think I've gone off the deep end, but why else do the grounds float up over the top of the filter and into my coffee?
