Use Coffee Filters to:
- Diffuse the flash on a camera. When you’re taking a close-up, soften the brightness by placing a coffee filter over the flash.
- Strain wine from a bottle with a broken cork. Place the filter over a pitcher or a carafe and slowly pour the wine into it.
- Serve popcorn or other snacks. The filters act as disposable bowls, so there’s no dishwashing.
- Make yogurt dip. Use a rubber band to secure a paper coffee filter over the mouth of a deep cup or jar. Slowly pour 8 ounces of plain yogurt onto the filter. Let drain for one hour. In a bowl, mix the thickened yogurt with 1 small minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crackers.
- Heat up leftovers in the microwave. Use a filter as the protective covering over a bowl or a plate.
- Prevent soil from draining out of flowerpots. When repotting, place a filter at the bottom, over the drainage hole, then add the soil.
- Prevent scuffs and scratches on fine china. Use flattened coffee filters as spacers when you stack your dishes.
- Protect hands from Popsicle drippage. Slide the wooden stick of an ice pop through a coffee filter so your hands stay mess-free.
- Serve pita sandwiches. A circular filter is the perfect size for carrying a sandwich on the go.
- Clean windows and glass when you’re out of paper towels. Coffee filters leave no lint or other residue.
