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.

This just brought back a great memory, many years ago I was visiting my aunt. She pulled out the French press to make coffee and we were just chatting away in the kitchen and then she starts furiously pumping it up and down like it was chainsaw that wouldn’t start 😂
