If you have put as much effort and detail into your books.
They must be amazing and a very interesting read.

By the way thanks for an interesting post.
You did confuse me with the French press as in my family it's known as a Cafetiere.
By the way we had one of these explode at the dinner table.
Mother in Law was hosting a Large Family Meal.
At the start of "Cheese and Biscuits whilst slowly pushing the plunger down.

The whole glass jar exploded showering her and family seated nearest in near boiling Coffee.

Luckily no-one was injured. But suffice to say WE ALL
Push the plunger down very slowly nowadays!
