I bought this so that I could make coffee at my desk. I've had it about 2 weeks and it's already paid for itself with my savings from not buying coffee at Starbucks.
It's very convenient for me, especially because of the easy clean up. I use this along with an electric kettle that I keep at my desk, which lets me set up an easy routine. First I turn on the kettle (which takes about 3-5 minutes to boil water and turns itself off when it's done), then I go to the kitchen to get the Dripper ready. I rinse the filter, put my coffee in the dripper, and put a little bit of milk in my mug, all of which takes about a minute. I can then put the dripper on top of my mug (since there's no water in it yet) and can hold it all in one hand which is important for me to be able to swipe my keycard and open doors. By the time I get back to my desk, the water has usually boiled and cooled down a little. I set the timer for four minutes, pour in the hot water and a few minutes later have some great coffee at the perfect temperature to drink instantly. Clean up is also ridiculously easy (once again I can carry everything I need back to the kitchen with only one hand, then I just dump the filter in the compost bin, rinse out the Dripper, and quickly wash my mug and spoon).
All in all, this is the most convenient possible way for me to make coffee. Even if money were no object, I can make this coffee in less time than it would take me to walk to, and wait in line at the coffee shop.
Other people have already said it, but this makes a great cup of coffee. The reason it works is because it lets you immerse the coffee in hot water for a few minutes before it gets to your cup (Keurig, Mr. Coffee, and other cheap pour overs don't do this, and don't taste as good). Other simple options which create the same affect are a french press, or Aeropress, but I think this is more convenient. I could make a french press at my desk, but the clean up is a pain and I can't go back and forth to the kitchen single handedly. Aeropress has an easy cleanup, but has way too many parts to deal with for my situation at the office (it's a great option for home though, and can make a cup of coffee using slightly less grounds). You could also save $15 by using a measuring cup to steep your coffee before pouring it into a $5 pour-over to make coffee which would theoretically be just as good; but this would just add another messy thing to be cleaned up (and in my case carried around).
I also found two other similar devices out there. Another company makes a porcellan version of this which sounds very similar but costs twice as much. Porcellan retains heat better, and so it probably does make a little bit better cup of coffee, which might be worth it for some people. But porcellan is also fragile, which is a deal breaker for me since I need to carry this thing one handed across the office while opening and closing doors. There's also another plastic version which seems very similar to this and costs the same, but that one has a built in filter which means a messier clean up (although it also means you don't need to buy filters, which could be a selling point for some people).
So far, I haven't found any cons to this coffee making method. It's really on good for one cup at a time, which is fine for me at the office but would be annoying at home. Sometimes I notice a little drip of coffee makes it through to the coaster before I put it on my mug, that's not supposed to happen but it doesn't seem like a huge deal to me as long as I remember to use the coaster.

Product Description
French Press Depth & Quality
Why does a French press make such high-caliber coffee?
It allows for a deep steep, resulting in a richer, smoother brew.
But a traditional French press leaves sediment behind, which can mess with the coffee experience.
Clever Coffee Dripper solves this and gives you all the benefits of a French press without needing to fuss around with any fuss.
And the included 100 clever filters collect and trap all the grinds so you can enjoy a smooth clean brew every time.

Finally! Pour over made easy
I own all the gadgets but between them all this quickly rose to the top as my favorite. My espresso machine is old and was a gift so didn't have the money to replace it. So I started shopping for alternatives. The French press makes a great cup of coffee but it's a pain in the butt to clean. The aero press is like drip coffee and it doesn't steep so your coffee is weaker but I loved the ease of cleanup though so will take it to work and use at my desk. The pour over was Great buy kind of a waste of coffee since it's just me, will definitely save it for guests though. Now THIS is the perfect mix of a French press because you can let your coffee steep for five minutes, it's the smooth flavor of a pour over, and the easy clean up of the aeropress. The clever drip mechanism felt like magic and I was prepared for leaks. It comes with a drip tray but it didn't leak at all. It fits on almost all of my coffee cups as well. It comes with 100 filters which blew my mind. I ordered biodegradable filters but that's my preference. Would highly recommend if you are wanting that coffee shop feel in the comfort of your pajamas.
