It may be expensive, but attention to engineering and design details, quality materials, and what it produces in the cup make it worth the price for a vacuum brewing fan.

I discovered the joys of vacuum brewing while living in Taiwan almost 24 years ago. Almost all of the little coffee shops used some version of the Hario brewer (or a look-alike).
This latest version is everything you say it is and more. The paper filter option is more convenient, but, like you, I prefer using the cloth.
A warning to others: Once you have sampled the resulting pure brew, you will have a hard time going back to what some mistake as labor-intensive methods.
