What is the proper way to clean a reusable coffee filter?

For heavy cleaning, soak the coffee filter in a mixture of distilled white vinegar and water. Allow it to soak overnight for best results. Another option is to take some baking soda and use a scrub brush to remove coffee stains and buildup from the reusable filter. Mild dish detergent and warm water can also work well for daily cleaning. Let the coffee filter air dry.

How many times can you use a reusable coffee filter?

Reusable coffee filters can be used 90 to 120 times before needing a new one. That is about three to four months of daily use. With proper cleaning and storage, you can extend the life of your reusable coffee filter.

What are other uses for paper coffee filters?

Paper coffee filters can be used for more than just making coffee. They can be used as bowls for snacks as well as putting them in between stackable plates for protection. Paper filters are also good for cleaning windows and mirrors as well as dusting lights and televisions. If you're a gardener, they can be reused by placing them in the bottom of a pot to prevent soil leakage as well as putting them in compost, with coffee, for natural nutrients.
