I haven’t done it, but I assume if you make some hot cocoa, you could pour the hot water for it over the springs and filter of the French press to melt it into your cup of cocoa. I was gonna say coffee at first, but probably not if you’re using your French press for whipped cream. There are some easy recipes for cocoa powder involving powdered sugar, powdered milk, and Dutch processed cocoa… pinch of salt, maybe some vanilla powder if you’ve got that. Just an idea of a way to save that cream y'all suggest wasting, just because I hate waste so very much…

It’s funny, the first French press my dad ever bought I thought it was a milk frother and proceeded to froth milk for my chocolate milk as a young girl. Making whipped cream makes so much sense.

Is it really faster than using a whisk? Idk… especially if you spin the whisk in your hand like you’re trying to start a fire so the motion mimics a hand mixer… I just need a reason to make multiple batches of whipped cream to test speeds. Lol
