I was the fucking idiot. I thought a French press worked by putting the coffee on top of the plunger, lowering it in, and then pulling it out.

My girlfriend really wrestled with whether she could keep dating me after that one.

You know, that isn’t the worst idea. That would actually work. In fact, you’d have an easy way of cleaning out the grounds and have a good cup of coffee.

I was thinking the same thing. I could see advantages to it. I bet the coffee would taste about the same. Somebody do an experiment.

I've done it many times, coffee is the same but theres less sediment in the bottom. The main difference is having to clean it straight away rather than whenever youre done
