Is it possible? Pantyhose as a coffee-filter-ersatz?
L.E.R.
Chicken," The Red Guy can be seen buying up a quantity of pantyhose,
prompting
the clerk to enquire whether The Red Guy actually wears pantyhose.
Prompting His Pantslessness to reply: "Oh, noooo! I use it as a way to brew
coffee!!"
Whereupon the clerk replies, with much incredulity, that there were coffee
filters available, to which Red replies: "You mean they actually MAKE those
things?!!"
(Of note is that The Red Guy is seen having an automatic-drip such, perhaps
akin to Mr. Coffee and similar.)
Which prompts moi to enquire:
*whether it is actually possible to use nylon pantyhose as a convenient
ersatz
for paper coffee filters in an automatic-drip coffeemaker (or even such as
use
cone filters, e.g., Melitta, Braun, Filtropa, Krups);
*how many have actually gone so far as to attempt such an experiment in
brewing the old mocha-java jive in their coffeemakers;
*whether such had any impact on taste, flavour or aroma of the coffee, esp.
from the standpoint of undesirable oils and sediment being filtered out; and
*whether pantyhose can be an economical substitute for paper filters, even
generic-label or store-brand such.
It's not necessary to have been influenced by that particular Cow and
Chicken
episode to have conducted such an experiment; all that's necessary is to
have
actually dared to use pantyhose as a coffee filter-ersatz.

question "how far would you go for a cup of joe" and there was a woman who
claimed to have used panty hose as a filter when she found one morning that
her filter supply had run out. As I understand it the results were less
than satisfactory - the coffee was a bit gritty.

today. Mr. Bunn senior experimented with them in his garage (not as kinky as
it sounds) in order to brew a better cup of coffee for his weekly poker
game.
Learned that from the folks at Bunn-o-matic.
