Separating Coffee Filters

An easy way to get one coffee filter out of a stack is to use a pencil eraser. Simply place the eraser firmly against the side of top filter and slide upwards. This should easily separate one coffee filter and save you a great deal of frustration!

I keep a rubber fingertip protector handy for the purpose of coaxing the coffee filters to separate.

I just 'scrape' my thumb nail lightly from top to bottom on the outside, works for me.

I turn the stack inside out, like Irrn567 - never have trouble, especially late at night when I'm trying to set the machine up for morning and all I want to do is get some sleep.

Another way is to blow on them. They come right apart.

Take the bunch and turn them inside out and voila. They are all separated.

Clever idea :-) Wetting a finger tip will work, too :-)
