Great Uses For Coffee Filters

 Coffee Filters are not just for coffee. There are many great uses for them and you’ll see a bunch right here. So, check out great uses for coffee filters  below. 

 

It’s nice when you can use household items for other uses than what they were intended for. As long as the item is inexpensive and will be cost efficient. 

Coffee filters are one of those items I’m talking about here today. To be perfectly honest, I don’t even use them to make coffee anymore. We make coffee a different way that does not require a filter.

So, I have even more stocked in my non perishable pantry and I use these every single day. Shortage of paper towels? No worries, these coffee filters work wonders and have saved me money and stress worrying about when the store would get another shipment of paper towels again. 

They are very inexpensive and you can usually find them in grocery stores, dollar stores, discount stores, closeout stores are a great place to find them at amazing prices. 

I just bought a 200 pack for under 1 dollar and these will last for a very long time.

Here’s a few great ides that have helped me and also my family and friends over the years.

Check these out  below and print them out. See if the uses I mentioned will help you out.  and

An everyday chore can be made easier using these paper wonders.

Great Uses for Coffee Filters

Here you go….

 

1. Heat food in the microwave. Use a filter as the protective covering over a bowl or a plate.

 

2. Prevent scuffs and scratches on fine china. Use flattened out coffee filters as spacers when stacking dishes. Also great for mugs and tea cups.

 

3. Strain wine from a bottle with a broken cork. Place the filter over carafe or pitcher, slowly pour the wine into it.

 

4.  Great for serving popcorn or other snacks. The filters act as disposable bowls. How clever!

 

5. Protect hands from dripping popsicle. Place a hole in the middle of one filter. Put the popsicle stick through. Drips land on the filter.

 

6. When eating an ice cream cone on a warm day. Do the same as above. Make a large hole and the center of filter. Slide up the cone. No more sticky hands.

 

7. When out of paper towels, use a filter to clean windows, mirrors and glass. Filters leave no residue or lint. How nice!

 

8. Soak up oil from greasy foods after frying. Simply lay a filter flat on the counter or plate. Lay your freshly fried foods such as bacon right on top. Let rest for a minute, and all that excess oil will soak into the filter.

 

 9. Great for potted plants: Prevent soil from draining out of flowerpots. When re-potting, place a filter at the bottom, over the drainage hole, then add the soil. Love this idea!

 

10. Protect cast iron pans by placing a coffee filter between each pan when stacking, this keeps them from scratching and rusting.
