I have got coffee in my eyes

[Dave7]

You need to wash it out quickly.........

With a very hot cup of tea.
It will work.....honestly.
You can trust me as when i was young I was a doctor.
Well I played doctors and nurses (i was the doctor)

What's the upside-down method? Anyhow, I'd forgotten that it came with a funnel. I wonder what I did with it.

Insert piston to required mark.
Fit paper to filter.
Stand cylinder upside down
Add coffee
Add water
Stir
Screw filter holder on
Wait a bit to brew coffee
Turn back the right way up onto cup.
Press plunger.

The idea is to get around the drip before pressing problem. I don't bother, instead put the plunger in lightly and let it brew a few seconds. The plunger does vacuum magic and reduces dripping.

Now then young master KneesUp. I am sure we have been here before and I feel vindicated by your misfortune. Instant coffee is the answer

[QUOTE 5167512, member: 45"]No problem. I do the same. If I spill I just brush it off with a finger.

Do you get that sourcerous vanishy thing with it? You fill it to the top and a fair bit disappears so you have to top it up a couple of times?[/QUOTE]
The what? No, I don't think so. I've had it since Christmas 2016 - what is this "vanishy thing"?

Has it...... vanished?

That’s a shame, I’ll just have to return that expensive present I just bought you.

Ah, thanks for thinking of me anyway! Was is one of these?

No, it was a diamond encrusted book called "Coffee Is For Losers"

 

[User10119]

Ah, I see. Well, for future reference I don't really 'do' diamonds...

Ah, I have a gold plated book called "...and tea is for dirty northerners"?

I believe it's been popular in China for quite a while as well.

Is that with or without the piston inserted?

Like an old oak table...

Shouldn't be a problem if the coffee is ground correctly. The upside-down method risks over-extraction.

I hear you - but I wear my rubber wellingtons and a hard hat, and also retire to a safe distance in order to minimise the risk.

Just add safety goggles to that outfit and you'll be reet.
