filter small amounts of fresh milk..I've done that when realizing I already used the last big filter for my stainless steel strainer.
Obviously, I'm talking about goat's milk

We use coffe filters when we run out of paper towels...I line the bottom of a plate or pan when I fry food and put the fried food on it...they are really good for absorbing that extra grease. Also, if you ever have to strain a little bit of chicken broth or something thin like that just put a filter in the bottom of a strainer and pour the broth over it and it'll get the little peices of chicken out.

Heather - I just thought about this topic today. I was teaching a group of kids about photography and mentioned that you could use coffee filters to clean your lenses. One of the girls said "we are raiding mom and dad's cabinet!" haha.

I use them for applique stabilizer. Works like a charm and is super cheap compared to 'real' stabilizers...

I use them as strainers when I make juice. Takes a while, but works great. |

great ideas .. we, too, jus' got a coffeemaker that has it's own filter. i love it .. cuz' it makes 2 16-oz cups IN metal TRAVEL mugs! and you can do the 'real' stuff in one side (that would be hank's side!) and decaf (moi) in the other!
i'm going to take them to lucas and sofia for an art project next time we go to toledo! xo

If you have a sewing machine that does embroidery you can use a couple or more depending on what you are sewing on, as stabilizer. Much cheaper than regular stabilizer.

A mouse died upstairs (ugh) and my little girl's clothes smelled bad in her dresser (the mouse didn't get into the dresser though). I scooped baking soda into the filters, stapled them shut and put one in each dresser. Smell gone!

I use them to serve little snacks like goldfish to my kiddos when we are on the go.

When I was a preschool teacher, we used them for the kids to draw with watercolor markers and paint on because the colors would blend together. If you have little kids you could try that, or give them to a preschool.

If you have eye glasses or camera lens, you can use these to clean them. If I can't find a paper towel, I use coffee filters while on vacation, etc. Hmm...other ideas:
