How To Clean a French Press (Quick and Easy)

[@janicehelton659]

I was totally overthinking it! So easy! Thanks

[@caoyudong]

My question is how do you clean the filters? Sometimes there are coffee grounds caught between the different layers of filters.

[@HeidisHereAndThere]

You can unscrew the filters, and rinse each one off.

[@MichaelRobinson-wu9ob]

Unless a cheap press, most will allow you to take apart the plunger to clean the screen separately

[@Glockodile]

How do you get the rest of the grounds out of the strainer?

[@CellarDoor1970]

I find the filters come apart the more you unscrew the plunger. Drives me mad.

[@leanngoeken7144]

This is why I was searching... I can't get all the grounds out. So frustrating

[@herbcoleman5156]

I stopped using the strainer. Instead I add enough water to loosen the grounds and then dump them in the trash. Then I clean as usual making sure there are no clumps of grounds.

[@djabthrash]

@@herbcoleman5156 Way less water used this way so i back that 100%

[@Zorahime29]

wow nice tnx for the tutorial i thought i need to disassemble it every time i'm gonna clean it lol

[@TraceguyRune]

Hiw do you clean the strainer?

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

my Bodum glass is pressed into the plastic holder - can the glass be removed? i want to clean the outside of the glass under the plastic

[@BarryBizarre]

You can most definitely remove the glass from the holder itself.

[@Rammichi1]

I just scoop the grounds out with a paper towel in the trash and tap the strainer on the trash, this looks like way more work lol.

[@BarryBizarre]

That’s a great strategy as well!

[@djabthrash]

[@NaksPizza]

But what about the sediments that get stuck between the glass and the plastic?

[@aniellodesapollo3179]

Another helpful video, thank you so much.

[@caroljilla9379]

Well...that's the way I clean mine. However my glass comes out of frame. This is my second pot. I always removed glass to clean but is that wrong? Also I have same faucet and dish soap as u. Haaa u did exactly what I do. Just thought maybe a different way but guess not. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@elissahoran1130]

Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!

[@BarryBizarre]

Enjoy!

[@abhishes]

I would hate to use strainer to clean French press because now you got to clean strainer

[@emh8861]

Exactly! And it's not easy to get all the grinds out of it.

[@jrt818]

Identical to another video so it must to the standard way of doing it. Still gets a like.

[@grantmcalpine6364]

Thank you for this video.

[@BarryBizarre]

Glad I could help!

[@baublesanddolls]

I won't dirty a strainer so I fill the pot with the coffee to the top with water and throw it outside.

[@BarryBizarre]

Great Idea!

[@jime9305]

Lost me when you dumped wet grounds in a paper bag...how'd that work out?

[@douglaswalma5466]

Thats A LOT of work every time you make coffee

[@LordVodka313]

Ha! Try cleaning a maka pot. Especially when you have to do it without soap (corrosion)and have to clean the extra compartments. I switched from a moka to a French press because of the work the moka required for less volume!

[@aimeem]

I love French press coffee but do pour overs now because the cleanup is so quick and easy.

[@chotafallen8390]

And a LOT yea too MUCH water waste for one coffee

[@mariampflugradt95]

Very good tip, thank you!

[@BarryBizarre]

My pleasure!

[@tonyal2974]

My question is, what if the french press is still hot? Can I wash it or should I wait until is Cold?

[@KellyS_77]

If it's super hot, you want to wait until it's just warmish. You don't want to put cold water into a hot glass press, because the difference in the temperatures might cause the glass to break. If the press is still hot and you *have* to clean it right away, just put the rinse water in slowly and try to use room temperature water instead of really cold water.

[@شمس-ش2ش]

Thank you very much

[@phoenixastra4429]

there are tons of grounds that still go through the strainer. and I have the SAME damn fine mesh strainer. Not to mention. It takes freaking forever to clean the strainer---even after cleaning the press!! After EVERY SINGLE COFFEE, when I have like 3 cups a day, I'd rather just scoop it out and wash the darn thing

[@clairewiley9720]

Super quick and easy, you just have to go Out and buy an expensive fine mesh strainer

[@LisaNix2]

I just,put mine in the dishwasher!

[@dillonk5573]

I swish it around and throw it out the kitchen window into the garden area.

[@عبدالباريباجابر]

Good 👍🤩

[@CBReptiles1]

Way too much work. Sorry. Dump in garbage and then use hand and rinse and down the drain it goes. Less tools. Doesn’t need to be soaped up everytime that’s definite overkill!

[@Eggplanet96]

pls stop yelling in your introduction jesus christ my eardrums

[@BarryBizarre]

Lol Thanks for the feedback

[@707947]

simply use a BOTTLE BRUSH for baby bottles. simple

[@PeterBeckleyArt]

so much water to clean it

[@djabthrash]

My thoughts exactly. This is irresponsible.

[@djabthrash]

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.

[@BarryBizarre]

Please drink responsibly

[@utubewatcher360]

Unless your a Plumber by trade, you keep pulling up on your faucet spout !! Why don't invest a little money in a new faucet?? they have really nice ones now

[@BarryBizarre]

Thanks Dan!

[@utubewatcher360]

@@BarryBizarre Your welcome - You where just doing the same thing I was doing lolol not really trying to be critical of you :-)

[@HanxHeez]

Never use soap.
