Can someone explain why it is so hard to clean a French Press?
Well, this may be getting a bit off topic from the original post, but…
It's not that cleaning a French press is "hard to do", it's just not as easy as using a drip filter. A French press needs to be washed after use. Even after the bulk of the grounds are dumped out ,the carafe always has some left in it, which means hand-washing in the sink. Given the choice, I'd prefer not to have solids in my grey tank. Furthermore (since I dry-camp) water is a precious resource, so the less dishwashing I need to do, the better.
With the Melita filters, I can put them in my compost bag or just toss them on the campfire in the evening…
Both methods produce great tasting coffee… IMHO, far better than percolating.
