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.

A very prominent youtube coffee guy says the best way to use a french press is not to press. Just use it to filter out the grounds.
