Oh wow that sounds like an interesting engineering problem to make a reusable coffee filter... I am quite broke myself and my ears always perk up at ways to reduce my already small caffeine budget.
How does it taste out of the metal mesh filter? I like to make mine in an Aeropress and heat it up in an old kettle that's been in my family for ages.
Using a metal mesh filter will make your coffee have more flavor but also more oily. I don't mind this because a lot of coffee I drink don't use paper filters.
Using a paper filter gives you a cleaner cup since the paper filter helps filter out the oils. It's nice when I'm making something like Japanese Iced Coffee in a V60
The aeropress has a couple metal mesh options.
I have an aeropress and have only ever used a metal filter with it! I've had normal paper filtered aeropress coffee and I can't taste the difference
