An Organic Cotton Reusable Coffee Filter

CoffeeSock is a one-time purchase from the US, to replace single-use bleached paper coffee filters. Made in Texas from unbleached organic cotton.

To use CoffeeSock, boil new filters in fresh water for 10 minutes, then add coffee and brew as instructed. Let grounds dry in the bag for easier emptying into the bin, then rinse and dry.

We like Sanctuary Coffee (profits help animal sanctuaries!) NHS says that it’s best to avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing (or no more than 2 cups of weak tea daily – or 1 cup of mild coffee or cola). 

Use a sink strainer to catch coffee grounds (and tea leaves) to prevent them clogging sinks. Just bin grounds, as although a few spent caffeine ones won’t harm (balanced with shredded cardboard to balance acidity), too many could harm compost worms.

Every few weeks, boil in fresh water for 10 minutes to remove coffee oils, adding 1 teaspoon of baking soda to remove stains. After around 1 year, cut up and add to compost bin.

If you use paper filters, choose If You Care brand, which uses unbleached paper & cardboard packaging.
