Abstract: A disposable beverage filter, for example a disposable coffee filter, has a tab affixed to its bottom section, providing a finger-grip apart from the body of the filter sheet, and permitting the filter to be lifted from a conventional nested stack of filters without touching the body of the filter sheet. This bottom-tabbed filter provides a free section for gripping with working the edge of the filter sheet free from the edges of adjacent filters. A nested stack of such bottom-tabbed filters are dispensed by a beverage-filter dispenser having a nested stack of bottom-tabbed filter sheets disposed bottom-side up in a container having a slitted top or narrow access opening for ready access to the tab of the upper-most filter sheet. The filter sheet is simply drawn out through the slitted top by its tab.
