Plugged sewer line.

Sewers work better (plug less often too!)

Go to Wal mart and spend $20 on a 50' plumber snake and fish it down the toilet and remove the clog. Save yourself $100 in plumber fees.

Call a plumber, snake out the main drain. Then dispose of the coffee grounds and filters in the proper way.( trash can)

Good answers provided so far.  If you can't handle it yourself, you need a plumber.  Coffee filters are not to be flushed down the toilet.  Only toilet paper gets flushed.  Don't do it again.

you are going to get a lot worse stuff than coffee filters and butts.  whoever is doing that is not too smart.  i think your best bet is to call a plumber and get it cleaned out right the first time.
