The Filercone serves primarily to hold the cone filter, but it's not imperative. You can make pour over coffee also with just the cone filter, without the filtercone or filter holder. I find that brewing hot water with a kettle and pouring over the grounds soaks better the grounds and brings out the flavor for a better, more flavorful coffee, so even if I brew in a drip coffee maker, I first heat water in the kettle, pour a bit over the grounds to soak them. They "bloom," like with the pour over. Then I turn on the coffeemaker (after adding water to the tank) and brew the coffee. This way the coffee has a good taste and body, and may be it's hotter too because of the initial wetting the grounds with some heated water from the kettle.
