Provided you're using a fine enough mesh, espresso coffee will work fine in a filter. I do this all the time and it works well. Currently using Percol Americano as a change from Lavazza. Other good OTP (supemarket accessible) is Taylors of Harrogate. Starbucks packet coffee is miraculously more vile than it's shop nonsense. Clipper, sadly, isn't that great.
A point of order here. If you aren't using a gold filter, you're wrecking your coffee. If you wash your gold filter with anything other than hot water, you're wrecking your coffee. Unbleached paper can be accepted in a pinch, but if you use a nylon mesh, you're a pitiful fool and should just go and drink PG tips instead.
