French Press With Lever

Coffee made in a French press is delicious, particularly when the grounds are ground very fine.

But when ground very fine, the grounds make it almost impossible to press down on the piston. The palm of the hand winds up bruised from the pressure.

The effort could be greatly reduced by adding a lever.

One end of the lever would attach to a hinge on one size of the cylinder, the piston would connect to the lever with a rotating pin, and the preparer would press down on the long end of the lever to drive the piston into the cylinder.

The lever and pin would be easy to remove, in order to clean the press.
