RE: Back Acres: Heaping the Compost in the Cubic Meter Bin for Hot Composting
I am a bit of a newbie to composting but I've always thrown my filters in the compost. So why not the coffee filters too?

Most coffee filters and tea bags have synthetic fibers that dont break down, so they advise against putting them in the compost. I personally dont think ot would be a problem if chopped up real small, but it wouldnt be completely composted if that is the goal.
I never knew that. The compost articles I've read say that coffee filters are ok, maybe I will look into what my Bunn coffee filters are made with it will give me a better idea on whether to keep'em or chuck'em.
