Coffee Filters Clean Waters

Maybe a piece of light weight material could work instead of a coffee filter...
I'm not a big fan of most travel gadgets but I love with my Steripen UV purifier... it's 3" long, weighs a few ozs, uses camera batteries & takes just a minute to purify a litter. (And no, I don't work for them!)
There is an advantage to using your socks to filter water. Clear water AND clean socks! Hehehehehe.
Socks or coffee filters will not remove the bad nasties that can make you sick. you need a micron filter to do that. The coffee filters only remove some sediments and big stuff floating in the water. Besides, if you have drunk the worlds water for the past 10 years without getting sick I would think your system has built antibodies to fight the most simple forms of "Revenge" whether Montezumas, Magellans, or Zulu.

How does a person who never goes to the USA buy Micro Filters.
I want a homemade way to replace a micro filter.
I tend to believe people worry too much about the taste.
What can live through hot boiling water?
I went and looked at the Steripen UV Purifier, seems small enough. 75 dollars is still not cheap.
I got sick from drinking bottled water in Nepal last year - turned out the company was not even filtering out insects because there was a news report showing mosquitoes in a sealed bottle, the same brand which I drank at lunch that day, next day sick as a dog, vomiting and diarrhea. Iodine will kill just about everything short of some Crypto and possibly Giardia cysts, for that I have read that coffee filters will do the trick - so when I cant get boiled water and for tooth brushing I will use iodine and coffee filters from now on - going back to Nepal in 3 weeks.
