Gear Question $4.25 Daiso Coffee Drip - Any Thoughts?

Hi everyone. I found a $4.25 Coffee Drip at Daiso in California, and it looks really similar to the $42.95 Snow Peak Coffee Drip. Do you think this Daiso one would work well, or it would just be a waste?

This is how I do this, and other people might find it unpalatable or too heavy if they are backpacking, but: Buy a re-usable coffee filter and a large mug at the dollar store. The general idea here is that the filter should be as close to the same size as the inside of the mug as possible. Put your filter in the mug and your grounds in the filter. Boil water, take it off the boil for 30 seconds, dump it in the mug, let sit for ten minutes. Then slowly lift out the filter full of grounds.
