Do you make coffee, Jenise? If so, how, French press?

Howie Hart wrote:FWIW - All my home made wines pass through a coffee filter before bottling. I have a filter that's designed to use specially made pads to clear the wine. However, they are expensive, so I cut coffee filters to fit the unit. Before filtering I circulate diataomceous earth (used in swimming pool filters) stirred into water to coat the coffee filters before filtering the wine. So, actually, it's the DE that traps the fine particles and not the coffee filter.

I was actually thinking of getting some polypropylene filter cloth and cut it to shape to use with the DE. Here is a link to the filter I use. It is a small filter press: http://www.buonvino.com/index2.html.Mark Lipton wrote:In that case, Howie, why not dispense with the filter paper altogether and use Celite™ (diatomaceous earth) in a fritted (sintered) glass funnel? We use this setup in lab routinely to filter reactions and it works a dream. Easy as pie to clean, too.
