Idle nonsense...

Let's review, your answers so far have included (2) "They
would(biodegrade), but most of them are not 100% paper and
contain
something which has synthetic material
? for sturdiness."
I attempted to educate you about paper filters by informing that paper
filters are only paper/contain no synthetic materials/are thick for
sturdiness.

(2) "They also have chlorine and other
preservative matter."

Oxygen is used to whiten paper coffee filters. I've been breathing that
for over 60yrs, so I'm pretty certain it is safe. "Preservative
matter"? Exactly what would be the reason to preserve paper coffee
filters?

So: synthetic material/chlorine/preservative matter? All absurd!

Bottom line here is that you are uninformed. Using a 'handle' like you
do, I would think you tended toward being enlightnened, but I guess it's
just a handle...

The 'idle nonsense' lays on your doorstep....

I wonder if my shirt contains bleach right now.
I washed once a long time ago with a little bleach. I hope its still not in
the shirt.

All cotton production uses chlorine bleach, it is found in everything
white unless indicated to be certified organic. There are about 4
other pesticides found in all cotton. Your shirt would absolutely
test positive for chlorine bleach. I have no doubt about it. If you
think your sarcasm is needed in a discussion, it may be best to not be
in a discussion. Facts are not theories.

Except that Chlorine bleach readily evaporates...

It's why it has to be constantly replaced in swimming pools.

Isn't there an alt.condescension group somewhere that needs your input?

Sure everyone has seen the Geico TV commercial about caveman. The most
recent commercial with comment about someone waking up on the wrong side of
the rock seems appropriate here. The person making the comment doesn't
address the conversation, rather, makes comment on an understandable
emmotional state with ridicule. I didn't think it was funny.

I just wanted to know something about biodegradability of coffee filters.

I think you now have ample information. The best thing is to buy a
reusable filter to fit your basket type. Or, do an experiement and
let us know how long it takes your "paper" filter to degrade. You are
in charge of this research now.

The plastic and/or metal screened reusable filters are a godsend... and
eliminate the whole issue of paper filters.

Plus they make the coffee taste better.

Another option is to give up coffee. I had to do that about 14 years ago
at the advice of a gastroenterologist.

Oddly enough, I got to give up the doctor when I gave up coffee.

He was right.

He told me it was not the caffeine so decaffeinated was out too.

I drink green tea now or take green tea extract and it works better than
coffee ever dreamed of doing.

And its good for you.

Speaking of coffee, what about those coffee paper filters. Are they
biodegradable? The #4 cone filters seem to be much thicker, in some cases
visible sewn threads on the seams. The basket type seem much thinner. Want
to just dump contents each day in a container. Bury contents including
filters. Separating the used coffee grinds and filter always results in a
bit of mess. Presently using basket type.

Yes. Compost or bury it. Great food for earthworms

100% right! Paper is wood-pulp(organic). There is no synthetic
material introduced into the pulp-batch to make it 'sturdy'. Coffee
filters are sturdy because they are thicker....period. Compost them or
dig them into the soil, either way is good.

They also have chlorine and other preservative matter. Do whatever.

Not if you use the unbleached ones...
Those make better tasting coffee anyway.
Hey OM. You are right about the taste. The bleached ones do break down
completely too.

I just feel better about using the unbleached filters in my garden
soil... :-)
