A hand-held filter separating device for separating a single coffee filter from a dish-shaped nested stack of filters such as those used in drip brewing coffee makers. The device eliminates the frustrating and time consuming act of trying to separate a single coffee filter by its edges using the fingers. The device is held in one hand and pressed against the surface of a filter with its adhesive surface exposed and withdrawn, easily separating that filter from the rest of the stack. Then it can simply be dropped inside the stack of filters after use because of its convenient size. The device is a combination of an adhesive portion, handle and a means of covering the adhesive portion, made up of two plastic injected pieces or even a less costly material, depending on the alternative used.
