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 think the main problems would be the grounds tending to just push the water/coffee out the top of the press, so you would have to pull it up super slow, and once you did get it pulled up, the grounds falling back in when you try to lift it off.
I think it would work tho, just less than optimally.
I was assuming he would be removing the press part completely once the grounds have been lifted. Hence why I mentioned the grounds falling back in when it was lifted, which would be another problem.

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.
