Hello,

I'm looking for a device that would make it easier and/or more efficient to
make water extractions of "herbal tea" (in particular, Kratom). I make the
extract by boiling the powdered leaf for an hour or so. I then strain the
liquid and press the leaf to get as much liquid out as I can, and then
re-boil the leaf and repeat the process a second time. Right now, I use a
handheld "herb press" thingy, which works pretty well as far as getting all
the liquid out, but it is messy and a pain to use.

I've never used a French coffee press, but the concept seems to be what I'm
looking for - you press down on the central strainer/press thing, and the
coffee (or herb in my case) would stay at the bottom, allowing the liquid to
be poured off the top. However, I've not seen one that is big enough for my
purposes. Ideally, I would like to have a French coffee press (or something
similar) the size of a large cooking pot.

Any suggestions?? It doesn't have to be a cofee press, just a big pot that
I can boil, strain, and press in without having to transfer the contents.

Thanks!

Mike
