Very nice, I went back and mastered the santos a few months ago (had used it but not really controlled it before) and have not used my v60 since. I have been pretty happy with the plastic filter, but I just might give this a try.
Yes, i you per this on an iPhone

I've been using it in my Santos, and much prefer it to the plastic filter.

I got my Diguo filter in the mail today. It seems to be well made, and it fits my Hario TCA5 just fine. In use it was basically identical to the cloth filter. As others have noted, the cup is remarkably clean for a metal filter. There is a tiny bit of sediment, and I noticed the last couple mouthfuls were slightly chewier, but I was very pleased with the results. Cleaning is incredibly easy, and it breaks down into parts for deeper cleaning. I'd be quite happy to ditch the cloth filters and use this instead in the future. Much easier to maintain.
I'll try it in my Yama vac pots later and report back with the results.

Fits my Cona D, Yama 3 and 5 perfectly fine. I might just start siphoning more often.

Tom, does it get stuck in the bottom of the Yama 3? Mine does.

I've only used it once in that one. I invert it, undo the spring loaded chain and it popped out. The tolerances are tight, but it propels out when inverted.

When you inserted the filter, did you push it all the way down so it seated on the bottom of the upper funnel?
If so, then there must be some variation in the diameter of the Yama 3-cup funnels. I have a spare in the basement -- I'll check it out.

Ah. I have the answer. The filter fits much better in my spare Yama 3-cup funnel. It's not a loose fit, but it only takes a slight tap to make it fall out. With the other funnel I had to push hard on it with a chopstick. I guess these things are hand-blown or there can be some variation in the casting. Anyway, the spare funnel is now in service.

I'll be curious to hear what you think of it. I've been somewhat Brazen lazy lately.

My drawdown times are noticeably longer with this filter than with cloth. I've adjusted my grind and brew times slightly to accommodate. Maybe others have noticed this as well.
When cleaning the stainless steel mesh, I usually see a bunch of fines stuck in the recessed impressions around the center brad and the outer ring. Not sure if this contributes to the drawdown timing or if its something else. Still, it makes for a very clean cup, and cleanup is a snap.
Are people using OxyClean Free or something similar to clean the mesh? It feels oily to the touch after a few uses, even without particularly oily beans in use.
