Coffee Emergency

Courtesy of BJ’s in Plymouth being out of toilet paper, I had to go to Hannaford last night before we ran out.

We also had one, yes, one remaining coffee filter.  Who runs out of coffee filters?  They are insanely cheap and come in mass quantities.

Guess what I forgot!  Not the TP, milk, bread, sour cream, or peanut butter.

Since we have been going through two pots a day, or one and some fraction of a second, to be more accurate, one filter was not enough.  This gave me the opportunity to test something I have been intrigued by since I saw the bit of advice somewhere.

Paper towel as a filter.

I folded one (plain white, heavy duty) into the basket, added enough coffee for a half pot or so, since it was a test, and the substitution worked great.  I’m drinking a cup now and it’s as yummy as normal.  Yay!  But we really do need filters, even if one of us walks to Rite-Aid for them.

1. Have you tried rinsing a filter and then letting it dry for the second pot? I haven’t tried it myself but I hear it works.
