    Represent!

    No filters so there’s no ongoing costs and I get them tasty bean oils. Easy to clean, cheap to buy, the French Press does it all, unless you want espresso.

      Am I doing something wrong. They are a pain in the ass to clean. Don’t get me wrong I love my french press.

        I guess it depends on your definition of clean. I use the classic Bodum French press, so your mileage may vary (some cheap presses catch more grounds in the screen area).

        I wash the glass carafe like any glassware, and then simply rinse and wipe the press itself under the tap without soap throughout the week. Once every couple of weeks, I’ll dismantle the plunger and thoroughly clean it with dish soap to remove any stains.
