Has anyone seen the new steel filter, looks like it only belongs in hario and a few other random bottomless drippers. 

 

I don't really like the looks of it, BUT i'm very environmentally conscious and wonder if this is worth it. 

 

Cons maybe?:

1)First off, i noticed that it's metal. Does anyone think this will cause the coffee to overheat as if you keep a stovetop on the stove too long? 

 

2)This won't work with the ribs in the V60, so that's sort of bypassing the design of the original dripper. 

 

3)This seems like it might take time to rinse out, and the extra grounds could clog in the sink.

 

Pros:

1)No paper!

 

2)No pre wetting (if you don't care about warming the cup or filter)

 

I'm interested to see everyone else's thoughts on this.
