Anyone tried this thing before? Just came across it, and wondering if this works for my classic Moccamaster machine, for standard black coffee. Looks and seems like a promising product!

    I use something similar that I bought in Taiwan as a backup to paper filters, since I am often traveling and can’t always find v60-style filters. Some thoughts:

    • It can be annoying to clean
    • When I want more than a rinse, I wash it extra by boiling it in tea; that seems to work well.
    • It does have a bit of a different flavor compared to paper. As a light-roast drinker who grinds with a Timemore C3, I prefer paper for taste. In the James Hoffman vid other people linked, he describes it as “extra richness and body” for light roasts, but I kinda describe it more as “clouding some of the bite and clarity”. It’s definitely still quite good, and I still prefer the cloth over French press.
    • I do find it quite convenient for my use as a backup to paper filters in my “ultra-portable” setup.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Is it possible to clean in the dishwasher at all you think?

        I don’t ever use a dishwasher, so I have no idea what works in those things 😂

        the result of that will be having all the gunk in your coffee filter instead of dishwasher’s own
