Coffee filters in the compost...

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Okay, so I've got this great compost pile out back I've been working for the 
past 3 years.  Up until this year I've only composted grass clippings and 
yard wastes.  This year I got hooked on gardening and have begun composting 
appropriate kitchen scraps as well...  including coffee grounds.  My wife has 
been more than cooperative in this venture, but we both make sour faces when 
scraping the grounds out of the coffee filter.  Or else we try to shake them 
out and wind up with speckled skin and clothes.  Then it dawns on me that 
filter paper's gotta degrade *at least* as fast as some of the other stuff  I 
throw in there.  Right????  Is there any harm?

What do the rest of you do?
