An apparatus for dispensing a single cup-shaped paper coffee filter from the top of a stack of filters 100 is described which includes a base 11 having upper and lower surface, 11a and 11b in which the upper surface is for splaying the stack of filters. A compression plate 13 supported by a pivot pin 14 is mounted adjacent the upper surface of the base for splaying the stack of coffee filters, and a backstop 17 is mounted adjacent to the compression plate on the top of the base for bending the stack of coffee filters enabling a single coffee filter to be dispensed from the stack. The base includes suction cups for mounting the apparatus to a hard surface while dispensing.
