1. A coffee filter holder for supporting a coffee filter for use with a single serving coffee cup that has a base, a coffee cup surrounding sidewall extending from the base, and the coffee cup surrounding sidewall terminating in a coffee cup rim all defining a coffee cup interior, said coffee filter holder comprising:
a third surrounding sidewall including a third outer surface and an opposing third inner surface, further said third surrounding sidewall having a third proximal end portion and an opposing third distal end portion with a third longitudinal axis spanning therebetween, wherein said third proximal end portion has a third proximal peripheral margin that defines a third proximal termination of said third surrounding sidewall, wherein said third proximal peripheral margin has a third proximal peripheral distance, further said third distal end portion has a third distal peripheral margin that defines a third distal termination of said third surrounding sidewall, wherein said third distal peripheral margin has a third distal peripheral distance, further said third distal peripheral distance is greater than said third proximal peripheral distance thus forming a cone shape for said third surrounding sidewall, wherein said third inner surface, said third proximal peripheral margin, and said third distal peripheral margin all define a third surrounding sidewall interior; and
a planar member with a planar plane, said planar member also having an outer perimeter and a planar aperture disposed therethrough said planar member, wherein said third longitudinal axis and said planar plane are positioned perpendicular to one another, such that said third proximal end portion is partially received in said planar aperture, wherein operationally a portion of said planar member rests against the coffee cup rim thus suspending said third surrounding sidewall over the coffee cup interior with said third proximal peripheral margin adjacent to the coffee cup interior, wherein the coffee filter element is placed within said third surrounding sidewall interior with ground coffee placed within the coffee filter element and hot water poured over the ground coffee to create a single cup of coffee.
