Re: coffee filters instead of excelsior
The only thing I have found wrong when using coffee filters is sometimes as they get wet they can slump to the bottom of the container reducing the surface area.
I bought some excelsior from Michael's, but, it was $5.50 for a small bag.
I just found myself a source for excelsior and bought 5 lbs of it which should last me a year or 2.
