How Do You Clean A Dirty French Press?
To clean a dirty French press, first discard any remaining coffee grounds. Then, disassemble the press and rinse each component with warm water. Use a soft brush or sponge to remove any leftover coffee residue. For stubborn stains, mix equal parts water and white vinegar and let the components soak for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing and rinsing. Dry each piece thoroughly before reassembling the press. It is also recommended to deep clean the French press once a month with a specialized coffee cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water.
