What can I use instead of a coffee filter to make coffee?
You can use a clean kitchen towel(tea towel) as a filter. It’s pretty much what the cloth filters of coffee are made from. Paper towels or napkins make excellent substitutes for coffee filters. They are porous, so the coffee will drip through without interruption. Paper towels are also finely woven enough to hold even the smallest of coffee grounds. The biggest perk, however, is their convenience.You can use dish towels, cloth napkins, paper towels, reusable tea bags, and even socks as an alternative to disposable paper filters.In addition to paper towels and cloth, you can also use a clean cotton cloth, a paper bag, or a fine-mesh sieve to filter your coffee.When using a foil filter, if you use coffee that is ground for drip/ paper filter, you may end up with some sediment at the bottom of your coffee cup. This is why we recommend just a slightly coarser grind for a foil filter, in order to provide good extraction but no grinds in your cup. Be cautious though!
