My 2 cents: mix in some herbs and garlic and you have a nice dip, plus you’re getting the beneficial bacteria and calcium.

2 filters will last a very long time. dampened an used with corn tortilla press. re-spritz with water after every 2 or so tortilla. for my press i had to trim off approx 1/2 inch on one edge. love these things !!!

You can use a Coffee Filter in the Laundry Hamper. Prevents mildew if you have damp clothes in there.

Wow, great tips! I actually have a package of coffee filters sitting on my kitchen table right at this moment – I had gotten the wrong size, and was about to throw them away because I didn’t know what to do with them. So glad that I found this list! I’ll have to click around to check out the rest of your site…

Thanks!

I use them in lieu of a funnel for mixing powdered drinks into water. If your pitcher has a narrow top, put some of the powder in the filter, fold the filter in half, and point the narrow end into your pitcher (folding helps make it less flimsy). Great for Kool Aid or re-filling your hummingbird feeder.

I raise herbs for teas. I use coffee filters to pack the crushed tea leaves into. By folding them in half, then into thirds, you can sew a double seam, twice (so that you have three sections), cut between the seams and then fill. Sew up the edges and you have a filled teabag.

I use them to clean CD’s and DVD’s. No lint and they are strong! Great for when the kids get fingerprints on their Wii games!

Best idea I found was to line the training potty – number 2 can be lifted right out!!!

Lots of my friends have now used this with great success…

At work when someone offers me some of their microwave popcorn, I use a coffee filter as a bowl. It soaks up a wee bit of the oil, and if I pop my own corn, it’s less messy than eating straight out of the bag.
