I do like my coffee. It is the driving force behind every work day, but I hate cleaning my french press. Are there any easier methods of cleaning this thing out? The grinds are everywhere and to my knowledge I can't simply flush it down the sink. Any ideas?

Hmm I just flush mine down the sink... I figure if I could grind up all kinds of food into a garbage disposal it won't hurt to rinse down ground coffee. However it is annoying having to take the thing apart to rinse it clean... I'm used to just tossing a filter and being done.

Back when I used my press everyday, I just washed the grinds down the garbage disposal. Never had a problem doing that.
Of course, now I use an espresso machine on a daily basis, so the grinds are REALLY easy to take care of; just knock em out in one pop to the garbage can.

A plumber once told me that coffee grounds are actually good for the septic tank. Don't know if it's true or not but I've been doing that for years. I use a permanant gold filter in my drip pot and wash grounds down the sink every morning. Same when I use my press.
As was mentioned, the bits are much smaller than what goes through the disposal.
