How does filtration separate a substance that dissolves from one that does not dissolve?
Filtration uses pressure to move a liquid through a semi-permeable membrane. Think of a coffee maker, where the hot water is pulled through coffee grounds and a filter stops most of the particles from ending up in the pot. The smaller particles are dissolved, so they pass through the filter. The larger ones are not dissolved so they stay behind as the used up coffee grounds that get thrown away.

Are coffee grinds good to put in compost?
Yes, they are excellent for adding to your compost, as well as grass clippings, shredded newsprint and vegetable waste. Coffee grounds are high in nitrogen but often can be acidic. Composting well before adding to the garden may be better, but small amounts can be added directly to the garden if needed. The coffee filters also decompose so you don't have to worry about scraping off the grounds. Many restaurants and coffee houses often throw away large amounts of coffee grounds. These places will often be willing to donate used coffee grounds for composting.
Egg in grounds for percolated coffee. My aunt used to mix an egg into the grounds for making percolated coffee and it made the best coffee...Has anyone ever heard about it?
Egg shell has been used in brewing coffee for a very long time. The eggshells are mostly calcium and when dropped into coffee they will reduce the acidity of some coffees. Takes away the 'bite' in some coffees. An old 'cowboy' trick.
Can coffee grounds be used to fertilize plants?
Coffee grounds can be used as compost material, fertilizer, or mulch. So they can be applied to the surface, or mixed with the below ground soil. Compost used as fertilizer tends to be applied at the rate of 1/4 inch. Compost used as mulch tends to be mounded to a level of 2-3 inches. But in not any of the three cases should the compmost, fertilizer, or mulch be only of coffee grounds. For the grounds are acidic. So they can be used to slowly, slowly change the soil pH. And they can be sprinkled around such acidic soil lovers as azaleas, blueberries, and evergreens. They should not be sprinkled around alkaline soil lovers such as lupines.
