How close in efficacy to paper filters is this? Equal, better? We use the reusable filter and there is always silt in the bottom of the pot that the paper ones don't seem to have, but with how much coffee is brewed in my apt, anywhere from 2 to 7x a day, buying single use is just throwing money out the window
I only know these for tea.
I am not so sure I would be that fond of them for brewing coffee, too much oily and similar stuff in coffee that could transform into some nasty aftertastes.
But, as said, quite ok for tea (apart from the increasingly disturbing optics after a few uses).

I have no idea; this is experimental. I saw some in a shop and decided to try making one.
Edit: it does seem to drain more slowly, but I'm not sure if that's because it has less area than the paper filter or because it's a tighter weave.
