After ya do it this way, try the other. A few seconds clean up. LOL!
After the infusion cycle is done, remove the sleeve, squeeze the end to funnel the liquid first into the french press and then get a spoon to get the material out and into the press. Ya don't spill a thing, just watch the holes.
I pull before it's fully cooled down. It filters better in the french press.
I really wouldn't do it if I didn't have the sleeve. I don't want the clean up headache. Especially when I'm recovering from my worked dry ice material. It takes long enough to run 3 or 4 full decarb/infuse cycles and have to clean up 6 or 8 times................naaaaa! LOL!
It's too easy not to do it. Just trying to help.
