Abstract: A filter device adapted to separate immiscible liquids in beverages such as coffee or tea and other consumable material such as soups and gravies is so designed whereby the beverage or other consumable material passes through a special prewetted filter cloth member and the oils or other immiscible organic liquids contained in the consumable material are coalesced and retained upon the surface of the filter cloth member. The special filter cloth member is formed of synthetic fibers having a low moisture regain, provided with a multiplicity of fine interstitial openings and is napped on the upper surface.
