I need a cup of coffee bad. Are there any substitutes for a coffee filter?

perhaps a napkin or paper towel??

try a paper towel

you don´t need them anyway. just boiling water on the powder. turkish style we say.

Paper towels work. Just make sure to pull the edges outside of the filter cup so you don´t end up with grains in your pot.

You can layer gauze bandage from a first aid kit, paper towel, nylon pantyhose,

my girlfriends underware have always worked well, definately a pick me up cup of joe in the morning.

you must be really hungover even to ask that question?

never used the panty filter before?

toilet paper.
Also, you can rinse & re-use the last filter if you still have it.

textiles

2 layers of clean white cotton cloth
(rinse out detergent or other residues in warm vinegar-water)

Don´t use panyhose, no.

Cheesecloth (but you don´t have any)

Paper towels are okay of they don´t fall apart.

Next time you are in the store...think about investing in a perm braun or other gold filter.

I have been using the same one for years

don´t have to buy all the paper filters, save money

rinse out detergent or other residues in warm vinegar-water

already done when using the panties, keep it simple pal

Sheesh, Cowboy Coffee!! Put water in a pan or pot, bring to boil, add coffee grounds right into the water, simmer very low for a few minutes (try not to boil), turn it off--don´t touch it for five minutes--all the grounds will sink to the bottom. Pour a cup, add whatever, drink, enjoy. You will find a few grounds at the bottom, try not to drink them or you will be up all night... :)

Cowboy Coffee --Done it many times while camping.

Agreed, cowboy coffee is great! But if you want filtered, the paper towel works. Done it many times.

dropping an ice cube(s) in the cowboy coffee will help keep the grounds in the bottom of the pot, but definately use the panty filters instead of paper towels, c´mon!

My mother used to use Kleenex for a coffee filter. It filtered out all the oils and the coffee was very clear. It tasted wonderful.

buy a french press coffee maker it needs no filter, and makes a better cup of coffee then drip

Underwear. It does leave a big brown stain, though.

get a percolator. No filter needed. evar.

Are risking some chunky bits in there, but meh it´s the price you pay for caffeine.

use bounty it the quicker filter upper

Paper towel when I run out of filters.

a plain cotton tshirt will do just fine, as a matter of fact i still use a coffemaker that uses a cloth filter.

Nylons!

cotton from a tshirt or nylons would work best...

papertowels would leave all sorts of fibers in the coffee

Actually a piece of panty hose works the best.
Or you could breakdown and get one of those Mr. Coffee filterless coffee makers...ya know...the ones with the wire mesh basket.
