    Got this as an email this morning.....

    ~ Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.

    ~ Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.

    ~ Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish.

    ~ Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

    ~ Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

    ~ Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.

    ~ Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

    ~ Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

    ~ Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.
    ~ Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.
    ~ Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.

    ~ Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters.

        I love that list. I've used coffee filters for a lot of those things on the list, some I haven't tried, but will.

          Pre-filter for your water filter if that wasn't already mentioned. Way back in the long long ago when I was just getting started, didn't have the money for a real filter. I had coffee filters, iodine and small soda bottle of bleach in my pack. The bleach didn't end up working out LOL but that was my bug out water filtration plan.
