I use coffee filters to drain my oil after frying I put a coffee filter in a small strainer and place that into a cup of some sort and let drain gets all theose little things out of the oil.. learned that from my mama....

I've used them to line flower pots when repotting indoor house plants so water flows into the saucer when watering from above but soil won't. They won't last forever, of course, but when they've decomposed enough that soil begins to flow through into the saucer, you'll know it's time to check the roots getting potbound. Your plants will appreciate it.

I use them to help with drainage in the bottom of house plants, with or without small rocks or gravel. Works wonderfully

I'm surprised this hasn't been pointed out yet, but you misspelled "Snack" on the title of step 11. You may want to check that out. :)

I probably should have mentioned this first, but this is also a very nice instructable! I would have never thought of any of this. :)

I used them to cover the intakes on laptops in the middle east ... kept 90% of the dust out but let the air through

Coffee filters are good to place in the bottom of a planter to cover the holes before adding gravel or potting soil to keep soil from running out.

i use coffee filters to make home made cream cheeses by filtering sour milk, yogurt and alike milk products. The liquid i save in a glass is great to use in breads and cupcakes, it makes them super soft and fluffy.
