Apparently this really upsets people. It works super well though, because the plunger strains out all of the leaves. I will never stop doing it.

Americans dislike anything Fr*nch. That is my joke answer. My real-er answer is that it's traditionally used for coffee and it only becomes a life hack once we see an official influencer do it.
It's considerably better at making tea than coffee.
The only thing I can think of is that coffee residue will build up on the mesh assembly and get it pretty filthy. Personally I would run a separate one for tea. It comes pretty clean though if you strip it down and run through the dishwasher
Coffee can build up filth there too, you gotta wash it
literally never washed my french press. just rinse out the coffee from the day before. I'm gonna try it tomorrow.
I tried washing the one my dad has by hand, and I just couldn't get it clean (he uses espresso ground ultra fine almost daily). I feel like the super high temp water in the dishwasher is probably key
I could see coffee residue getting into the tea and making it a little bitter but I don't see any reason to scold somebody if they don't care. Seems like a pretty useful device to steep tea with.
I'm upset, but I can't explain why
