using coffee filters to filter home pressed olive oil I have recently made some home pressed olive oil but it is quite cloudy and I wanted to filter it so it will keep longer and be a bit more pleasing to the palate and the eye.  I initially used a muslin (ham) bag in a steel colander over another steel bowl and weighted down with 70kg of gym weights to press.  I was wondering if it is effective to try running it through paper coffee filters to get rid of the fine particles?
I have picked and processed hundreds of kilos of olives for oil. I store the cloudy oil in plastic water bottles in a dark cupboard and wait.  The sediment will fall and then you just drain off the clear oil. The remaining oil with the sediment in it I use for tools, hinges etc and other DIY uses.
