A friend of mine used to use a woodneck with a cloth filter in his cafe to try new beans. The taste was comparable to a standard v60 paper filter (maybe a bit cleaner) but he stopped largely due to the faff of cleaning the cloth filter. They did get a bit smelly if not cleaned and took a while to dry.

I have… they taste good when new and while perfectly kept; once those conditions aren’t met, not so much. I gave it up and went back to paper.

I wouldn't bother, used one with my siphon brewer for a while then switched to paper. Fine when the filter is kept in tip-top condition which it can easily fall out of despite seemingly following the same process.

I use one at work to save money on filter. Taste is the same. The downsides are that you have a wet cloth lying around everyday and it needs a proper clean every so often, but that's not too bad.
I travelled a bit in Korea/Japan and interestingly cloth filters were very common in cafes.

Anyone tried a cloth coffee filter? Thinking of giving it a go as I near the end of my papers. Sounds like a bit of a faff to clean/store in between uses. Does it taste good? The coffee made with it, that is.
