I use them to strain the extra moisture out of tofu or yogurt.

Tips using coffee filters
Better than paper towels and a lot less expensive Coffee filters you can
buy 1,000 at the Dollar Store for almost nothing even the large ones.
1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make
excellent covers.
2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome... Coffee filters are lint-free so
they'll leave windows sparkling.
3. Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between
each dish.
4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine
bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.
5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to
absorb moisture and prevent rust.
6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.
7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a
coffee filter.
8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a
kitchen scale.
9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.
10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a
coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.
11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a
coffee filter.
12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of
coffee filters..
13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken
fingers, etc on them. It soaks out all the grease.
14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."
15. As a sewing backing. Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for
embroidering or appliquéing soft fabrics.
16. Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet
to absorb or prevent odors.
17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups
and stews.
18. Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car.
19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter
spills.
20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of
fruit or vegetables, (Saves on having extra bowls to wash).
21. Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.
22. Use them to sprout seeds.. Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds
inside, fold it and place it into a plastic baggie until they sprout.
23. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers. Place the
flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone
book..
24. Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc.
25. use to apply Finger-nail polish remover, when out of cotton balls.
OH YEAH, AND THEY ARE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR COFFEE MAKERS
