Been using the French press near daily now, saves a ton of counter space. One thing I've noticed after refrigerating the leftovers is a bit of dark goop at the bottom of the jar; I assumed it to be like the crap that gets filtered out by the paper filter, or rather the stuff that made it past.

    French Press coffee tends to have a bit more coffee grounds in it than other methods, so this might be the case for you as well.

    There are different kinds of french press plungers that mitigate this. Some people also put a paper filter on their plunger to remove more of the grounds.

    I rarely drink french press but I love my aeropress, which also removes all the grounds.

    Oh is that what that is? I thought it might have been like, idk concentrated cholesterol or some shit. I do the same, putting a paper filter on the French Press, but there's usually a bit of coffee at the bottom that didn't get filtered properly so when I pour out the remaining batch for later use I think some of it gets in.
