I'm all out of coffee filters but I want to make some coffee. Do you think this will work or is there any other way to make coffee without a traditional filter?

You could cut a piece out of a new vacuum cleaner filter, but that's pretty expensive. Or, if you've washed the dryer sheet, that might be OK.
But I'd use a DIRTY vacuum cleaner filter before I'd use a new dryer sheet!
Even paper towels don't work all that well. Go buy some filters at COSTCO--the supply will last you a YEAR~! And hide a few as a backup for when you run out next time.

Don't do it unless you like Orange & Magnolia Downy flavored Folgers...
Here's a better idea... Why don't you boil water. When it boils, turn it off and put in your coffee grounds. Let it steep, like tea, and then ladle it into a cup to keep grounds from getting in the cup.
I have done this when I was desparate for coffee and had no machine. You may think about investing in a gold coffee filter, they can be washed and reused. They are pretty inexpensive too.

The dryer sheets contain chemicals that would be toxic but you probably would not die , just be ill .
Note: I said probably, but no guarantees . .
I never use a paper filter , most of them have bleach chemicals in the paper to make it a pretty white .
I just put coffee in a pyrex pot , pour boiling water over it then (mine comes with a press) but since you do not have a press , just pour through a fine steel mesh strainer.

Tide liquid with a sprint of Downy sparkling Breeze. Downy sparkling Breeze liquid fabrics softener. For sheets and blankets i exploit a similar detergent, yet i exploit Downy easy Pleasures vanilla and lavender fabrics softener.

I'd use papertowels. I don't think dryer sheet is a smart choice. You should really consider that you have a coffee adddiction and need help.

I think it is a splendid idea. Your teeth will have no static cling issues today and instead of horrid coffee breath your breath will be as lovely as a fresh mountain breeze.

I wouldn't recommended it.
You could always cut a paper towel to fit your coffee maker. It won't taste as good as regular... but it does work.

That would be gross. Yuck!! But it will cure your craving for coffee!! You may never drink coffee again!! I think paper towels would work best.

not unless you like flower scented coffee. Just go to the store and get some.

If I did that, then the first sip would be spitted all over the room or I would go and throw up in the toilet (no offense to you).
