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!

So my issue with this is the amount of water you need to use to clean it. Paper is compostable and bio-degradable.
Have you seen paper made? There is a reason paper mills are usually on rivers.
I would imagine it’s not much if you can just toss it in with your normal laundry. Most of the time it’s just a quick rinse anyway. Many people have no way to compost either.
I don’t think I want laundry flavours in my coffee. I’d follow Hoffman’s method - rinse well then leave it in the fridge in a glass of water; wash in espresso machine cleaner whenever it gets too oily; freeze it in a ziplock if not using it daily
Hoffman the goat, always trust that man when it comes to coffee
True, but I drink coffee daily and only do laundry every week or even two weeks some times. So although that may work for some, it would not work for me.
I can’t imagine it needs a full wash every time
Even just getting the user grounds and fines out would require at least a gallon of water.
