Regular coffee filters good enough for WVO?

I am trying my first quart of WVO, got it when wife change deep fryer's oil. I let it settle for about a week, then pour it into funnel with double layer of paper coffee filter. The result came out pretty clear (like good beer) with no visible particles, but it took a long time to filter one quart, about 1/2 day. Is this good enough?

What about used Canola oil? Is this better or not as good?

Re: Regular coffee filters good enough for WVO?

You will go thru a lot of coffee filters to clean up most WVO.let it settle and then filter thru a old blue jeans leg sewen shut on one end then thru a bag filter of what ever micron ratting you want your final product to be.I heat to 130 and let it sit for a day after the blue jean it is supose to drop out any suspened water that way leave the bottom 12" or so in your container that is were the water will consentrate.see this post on how I have been doing it for my last couple of batches.I do 60 gal at a time. click here
