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.

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). Also avoid caffeine for certain medical conditions. 

Use a sink drainer to catch coffee grounds, then bin (caffeine may affect compost creatures). Same with tea leaves.

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.
