My first thought was "centrifuge." Second thought (more practical for
the home), filter paper.
Wouldn't a paper coffee filter work? The French press has larger
mesh. Maybe cut a disk of filter the size of the press plunger.
Or you could let the grounds settle, decant the liquid using a
stirring rod, then reheat.
