I had coffee at a friend's house recently, which was prepared with a
French Press. I really enjoyed the flavour of the coffee, so I'm
thinking about getting one. However, it looked like a pain to clean
compared to my coffee maker that uses a filter, which I can just pull
out and trash. I saw her digging "mud" out of the bottom of the press
to throw in the trash because she didn't want her grinds going down the
sink drain. So, I am wondering: 1. How do others clean their press?
2. Do you think it's a pain to clean? Thanks for any tips!
