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.

Pictured here with small *PAT Tetradrip. A proper v60 is 100% better taste than the Tetradrip; but it's a really convenient foldy-size.

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

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