Cleaning a french press properly after each use is critical to the quality of

Takes me 10 seconds to dump and rinse.

Would 2 minutes with detergent make better coffee?

Once you brew coffee in a french press, you MUST either serve it immediately, or
immediately decant it into another carafe. If you leave coffee in the press, it
continues to get stronger and stronger very quickly.

I like that :-) It gets stronger, but with no heat, it doesn't cook.
