Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I never use the white filters in my coffee maker. There is no reason they need to be bleached except for aesthetically pleasing reasons. I always buy the brown ones. There is no reason I can think of that I need to be running my coffee water through bleached coffee filters which are full of dioxins that my body does not need. I often wonder why factories (managers/bigwigs thereof) feel the need to add colorings and dyes to consumer products (filters are just one example) to foods, such as bizarrely colored yogurt...to name just one food. I don't need a real green looking food. Yellow dye #3 or Red #2 doesn't appeal to me. I wonder what the hell color they'd be if they left foods alone. My body reacts to everything, with fuzzy thinking, headache, rash. EEGAD! Kim >>>> " Camille " writes: Running dihydrogen monoxide through coffee grounds, probably makes it safer to drink.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Hi, I like the gold plated metal filters. I have 2 that are for making individual cups of coffee and one that can go in a coffee maker with the flat bottom filters. They work really well and you just rinse them off or wash them to use them again. A weird thing is white bread with brown color added to make it look like " brown bread " . I think the most dangerous stuff in food is partially-hydrogenated oil. That stuff is very bad for health. I eat it sometimes, if I am wanting a particular pizza, or something, but I don't buy it very often. It's in almost everything baked, it's getting easier to find bread without it, but it's still in most bread, almost all crackers and cookies.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Problem is, our city water (excuse me, dihydrogen monoxide) has chlorine added to it. I have a filter on my faucet, but it just takes the smell away. I can still taste the bleach. My coffee filter is white nylon mesh. I have to remember to hide it when my mother visits because she just dumps the filter holder in the garbage without realizing that the filter is not meant to be disposable. Then she shrieks because she can't find any coffee filters. Louis In my house, " normal " is only a setting on the dryer. boken@...] I never use the white filters in my coffee maker.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 I have a one-cup coffeemaker (the only surviving machine from the three I once had) which uses a wire mesh filter, and I prefer it immensely over the paper variety, whether bleached or not. Coffee filters cost money, and I rather like being able to just rinse one out. Besides, there's nothing worse than a used filter falling out of the trash and getting all over the floor (and having my wheelchair track it all over creation). I initially found being able to make only one cup at a time rather frustrating, but I found the pot from my defunct four-cup machine fits in the coffee maker quite well. I just use enough coffee for four cups, and keep adding water until the pot is full. RE: Coffee > Problem is, our city water (excuse me, dihydrogen monoxide) has chlorine > added to it.
