Currently the electric coffee makers include a permanent filter where to place the coffee powder to make our coffee. However, although these permanent filters are made of a fairly closed material in its pores, the coffee always settles at the bottom of the container and our cups, forming a kind of sand that is very unpleasant, so that although we have this permanent filter, it is imperative to additionally use the commercial paper filter to optimize the quality of the coffee we drink.

In my house we are all coffee drinkers, each one has his personal taste, for example my husband drinks it strong and without sugar, my oldest daughter drinks it strong but with sugar, my youngest daughter with milk but brown, and my son and I with milk and three drops of vanilla. Seriously, we are heavy coffee drinkers and so we understand and want it to be made very well and that seat I mentioned to you earlier we do not tolerate it.

It's been a while that in the city where I live, in Maturin it's not so easy to get the paper filters of commercial brands that I used to get in any Chinese grocery store or supermarket, but it's something we really need.

Today I bring you my Two Options for Electric Coffeemaker Filters which is how I have self-managed this situation and as always for me it is so important that it is Useful and harmonious, because I do not like to put ugly things in my home, even something simple or humble can always be beautiful and harmonious with our decor and environment if done with love.

What I do is to open them and then fold them in half, three times until I get a cone shape. Then, I take as a reference the part that is shorter since its shape is rectangular and I am folding it in squares practically, then with the scissors I cut a curved shape from end to end in that cone, leaving this shape:

Now I unfold it once, and it still keeps the cone shape but bigger. I open one of the leaves and there will be three leaves on one side and one on the other side, forming the exact shape of the Permanent Filter of my coffee maker, and of the same height.

It is perfect for use, as you can see it fits perfectly, I place the coffee powder inside the filter and I can use the coffee maker normally.

It should be noted that its usefulness is the same as the commercial filter, i.e. it does not disassemble, does not open on any side, filters the coffee and leaves no residue in the container or in our cups, and very important when it comes to removing and disposing of it is the same as the commercial one, we can remove it by hand and the brewed coffee remains inside and we can place it in the trash without any mishap.

In this image you can see how I can close my coffee maker and the napkin filter is not visible at all, it is the size of the commercial brand and ideal for my coffee maker.

For me it is very important that although I am solving something in a homemade way, it looks good and does not make my appliance, my kitchen or my home ugly. Everything is still in beautiful harmony.

Utilizando como Patrón el Filtro de Servilleta que hice anteriormente, le marco la punta inferior con una recta para quitárselo, ya que no lo necesito en el diseño de este filtro de tela. Solo lo corto en línea recta, y abro el patrón que va a tener esta forma:

First I'm going to sew the whole curve, from end to end, just the curve.

On the sewing machine I pass a zig zag stitch along one fold of the edge of the curve of the fabric.

Although sewing in curve is a little more complicated than sewing in straight, it is not so difficult since it is a very small piece in size, just a little attention and care and it will be a beautiful seam.

The mouse tail tape can be replaced by any tape, and it is really optional, since commercial filters do not have it, but I liked to include this tape ring to make it even easier to remove the filter from the coffee maker, but it is optional, it is not really necessary.

I tie the ends of the ribbon together to determine its size and sew more easily.

With the fabric folded in half of its design, I place the ribbon at the ends where the curves meet and zig zag stitch, making sure to stitch well where the ribbon is. I continue sewing all the way to the bottom of the fabric and fold at the base to continue sewing. It's like an "L" seam.

Ahora paso una costura recta al lado del zig zag para que sea una costura de seguridad, y así el café en polvo no podrá salirse del filtro.

Así queda listo el Filtro de Tela para mi cafetera, las costuras quedan por fuera que no se quede el café en polvo en las costuras, además queda igual a los filtro comerciales que tienen sus costuras hechas con máquinas de presión y pegamento, igualmente por fuera para tener la misma función.

Como puedes ver el Filtro de Tela queda igual al Patrón inicial de Filtro de Servilleta, con la diferencia que lo puedes reutilizar muchas veces y con el aro de la cinta para manejarlo más fácil aún. Y es así como lo que se hace con amor siempre es incluso mejor que lo que compramos.

La altura del filtro es la adecuada, ya que no sale del sitio destinado para ello, de manera que no se aprecia por fuera nada. Lo puedes lavar y reusar muchísimas veces.

Y así es como mi lugar destinado a la Cafetera sigue hermoso, prolijo, limpio y funcional, gracias a un poco de amor y dedicación; además que apoyo la economía de mi hogar al ahorrar en estos pequeños gastos y dejar más libre el presupuesto familiar para otras prioridades.

Muchísimas gracias por haber pasado por mi publicación, deseo que te sirvan los tips y te inspire.

Te invito cordialmente a mi próxima publicación... Un abrazo
