Kitchen Quick Tips - Nix the Paper Coffee Filters

kitchen quick tips

If you use a drip coffee maker invest in a re-usable coffee filter basket to replace paper filters.  Not only will you save on the costs of paper filters but you will eliminate any off flavours from the paper.  A re-usable coffee filter basket is eco-friendly and will last you for years.

I bought one of these years ago and love it. I never run out of the paper one and have to try to make one out of paper towels or napkins. Well worth the small investment.
