Only on Reddit will you see an OP continually downvoted when he responds to comments that aren't actually answering his question, but telling him he doesn't need what he's asking for.
Yes, we're all aware that you can poach eggs without a dedicated pan, but the question wasn't, "What's the best method for poaching eggs?"
If he wants to use a cheap poaching pan instead of a regular pot or pan, what do any of us care?
OP, I've had this pan for a couple of years and it works great.

It's steel, not aluminum. It's stamped metal, nothing fancy and not an heirloom kinda thing. But for heating water and keeping eggs contained, it's fine. The eggs come out of the cups easily with a bit of Pam.
Moreover, it's quick, easy, and lets you think about other things.
I also have one of these, which isn't "poaching" technically speaking, but the end result is pretty much the same. They are foolproof.

If you want another eggy option, I steam poach eggs at home, chill them in ice water, then warm them up in a water bath at work.
I haven't tried it personally, but a quick google search shows a number of attempts by other people. (e.g. here's a post titled "Baked Eggs in a Muffin Tin".) I'm more familiar with cooking eggs in either individual ramekins that you place in a pot of simmering water and cover with a lid, or with an "egg poacher" (like this) rather than using a muffin tray and baking them though. Jacques Pepin has a number of examples of cooking eggs in ramekins (oeufs en cocotte, in French), which you might find interesting. Here's a short clip demonstrating it, and there's a longer segment about the same dish including more details about sauces, garnishes, and variants in Essential Pepin: Egg-ceptional if you like the idea.
Cheat.
I finally gave up trying freehand. Yes, this thing is useless for anything else, yes it takes up space, yes I probably paid too much for this single-use kitchen thing, but perfect eggs benny for daaaays...
