Wink Do you have coffee filters?

Here are some interesting uses for coffee filters.


Filter broken cork from wine.
If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a Mr. Coffee Filter.
Clean windows and mirrors.

Mr. Coffee Filters are lint-free so they'll leave your windows sparkling.

Protect china.
Separate your good dishes by putting a Mr. Coffee Filter between each dish.

Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave.
Mr. Coffee Filters make excellent covers.

Protect a cast-iron skillet.
Place a Mr. Coffee Filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

Apply shoe polish.
Ball up a lint-free Mr. Coffee Filter.

Recycle frying oil.
After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a Mr. Coffee Filter.

Weigh chopped foods.
Place chopped ingredients in a Mr. Coffee Filter on a kitchen scale.

Hold tacos.
Mr. Coffee Filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot.
Line a plant pot with a Mr. Coffee Filter to prevent the soil from leaking through the drainage holes.

Prevent a Popsicle from dripping.
Poke one or two holes as needed in a Mr. Coffee Filter, insert the Popsicle, and let the filter catch the drips.

Thanks for sharing Daquiri. I put out the cash for one of those permanent gold coffee filters, but I have tons of paper filters I never used. Now I know what to do with them!

LOL. I thought you were going to ask if you could borrow one I get pretty desperate when I run out.

Great suggestions though. Several I can use
