My silly post yesterday about finding a coffee bean in Mellow Yellow's sink drain line started a mini-thread about coffee preparation techniques. I know that many people like the taste of coffee when brewed in a French press, as do I, but I use the drip method because I find it easier to clean up: simply pull the No. 2 paper cone out of the drip cone and toss it, and the grounds, into the waste basket. I've never found an easy way to clean a French press. Usually the coffee grounds are packed into the bottom, so I partway flood the press with fresh water, shake it until most of the grounds are in suspension . . . then stand there, not knowing where to dump it. It's too thick to dump into the sink, and it's too messy to dump outside. The rinse process usually needs repeating, as I never get rid of all the grounds the first time around. Maybe someone who has this sorted out could post their method? -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
