I bought this to use in the office but I find myself using this at home more.
We have a shared pantry & office, plus because of COVID, I don't trust leaving a coffee press in the office. This was great. I can pack it in my bag every day to bring in/out of the office to use along with a sandwich bag of coffee grinds & coffee filters. It's also pretty easy to clean being that it's silicone; I usually just rinse and dry when in the office, then at night I'll wash it with soap.
However, I don't use this as a drip method for brewing. The flow is much too fast and you wouldn't get much coffee taste; you would need to use possibly double the amount in order to get the desired taste, unless you don't mind wasting your coffee. I usually scoop the coffee in a cup of hot water; stir and let it sit for a minute to let it steep out the flavor/caffeine. Then, I'll pour the coffee over this (with a filter of course) over another cup. It does take some time, effort, and space though but this is also how I like to brew coffee at home. I've tried many methods and this yielded the best results for me. This is also the method I'd do on my 'good' coffee grinds, while the not so good one I can care less and sometimes put it into the Keurig as well.
For me, this worked great and for $5 it was amazing. I use to use the large IKEA funnel and now this replaced it - it's also much easier to use. But as mentioned, I wouldn't recommend using this for drip brewing method. It's amazing for just holding the filter paper and removing the grinds after other brewing methods - even press beacause they leave grinds behind too.

Great option for fresh coffee on the trail.
By Goodinfection (CS Lewis) on June 29, 2019
This is my second UST drip cup. Bought it to be able to do two cups at once for our recent BWCA trip. These work great (drip eater. depends on grind - coarse works better). Light weight, durable, perfect.

Great coffee!
By Bob on May 4, 2021
Finally found our solution for great coffee while camping. 3 minutes to boil the water. Another minute or two to pour it over the grounds and we're drinking better coffee than we make at home. Packs up small and even fits inside our kettle. Really easy to clean up too.
