With my Espro I've noticed that a lot of liquid can get trapped underneath the solid base of the filter since its solid and nonpermeable, and water won't force itself around too much. However if I stir the coffee before pressing so the coffee is less sticking together, more distributed, and not just sunk to the bottom I can get more coffee from the press since it goes up the sides easier. Anyone else experience this?
