    I make French press coffee regularly. I just add a paper filter between my plunger base and the screen. I do always pour out the full pot into a 1L jar, but that's because I'm putting it in the fridge to drink later as an iced coffee

    this is the most comlicated way to use a french press. No one will do this in the morning with sand in thier eyes still lol
    Bring a pot/kettle to boil(filtered), dump your grinds into carafe, dump your water in, let it sit after a stir and plunge it. Ive never gotten any coffee grounds in my cup lol.

    If you are not gonna press it, why the fuck would you use a French PRESS at all???
    Just throw your coffee in a mug with water and pass it through a damn filter…
    If you don't like the silt, don't use a French press!

    This is a prime example of where the dislike button removal is a pain in the ass. He tot a view and made a quick buck and its a video of basically him over complicating coffee in a french PRESS and its how to NOT use said PRESS. Clickbait.

    I use this technique but I push the plunger down. I don't get any grounds coming through unless i tip the last bit of liquid out of the jug. It does depend a lot on whether the screen on the plunger seals well enough as coffee gets through any gaps and they tend to bend out of shape a bit over time.

    Hi! I saw this video a few months ago, and have been making my coffee this way ever since. No more little annoying grounds in my coffee cup after brewing. It works great! Thank you for posting this!

    OMGā€¦..the world is falling apart and heā€™s worried about fully incorporating the flavors. I wish I could have my time back but I finished it because I thought surely there must be more to this. Nope!! Shame on me for staying.
