Smarter way to clean a French Press Coffee Maker

I just give my plants the coffee grounds. A lot of people joke they're coffee addicts like me.😅

Did people really not already know this? 😮

I use a paper filter which makes clean up a breeze. I also run my french press coffee maker through dishwasher everyday (it's entirely made of stainless steel).

BTW if a product requires hand wash then I will simply NOT buy it. There is ALWAYS another product that does the same thing that's dishwasher safe :)

Once the coffee beans have been extracted, I pour water in the French press, stir with acheap bamboo chop stick and dump the coffee grinds onto my planters, because they add nutrients to the soil. Otherwise it goes to the compost.

*Pouring coffee grounds down the drain leads to clogging. Beans, seeds, put and coffee ground should be avoided, even for those with sink-erator (sink with grinding blades installed)

nice

What kind of strainer?

I bought a strainer and while it caught most of the grains there were still some black particles that got through

How do you rinse and clean the mesh strainer?

Thanks so much!

BREAKING NEWS : we have a major water problem on planet Earth right now, so using that much water each time you use your French press (which i guess is at least once a day ?) is IRRESPONSIBLE.
Think about how much water you could drink with the amount you used.

Great hack on reducing the mess. Just started using French press and coffee tastes so good.

1st french press i bought i left it on the sink for a week
I even forgot i bought it
Lets just say... i had to buy another one

Cleaning the mesh strainer is a nightmare

Smart, I never thought of that, Thank you.

Just had my 1st French press coffee... and I'm converted ..great helpful video! 👍😎

I do that already and still messy.

I fill mine about half full with hot water, then I go outside and stir it with a spoon and poor it on to my roses (at the bottom not the leaves or heads 😂)
Then I wash it out properly.

meanwhile me:
has an handfilter with an coffee paper filter in the sink for the grounds of my french press and just empty that in the bin

french press uses way too much coffee comapred tor egualr coffee maker. Coffee is too expensive now to use one

I'm just going to admit something. I've been filling up my press with water and dumping it out the kitchen window, right above my kitchen sink. Since I've done this for years I've realized just how much coffee must be at the bottom of my window outside. 😳 I'm definitely going to need to start using this strainer method instead. Thanks.
