Sounds a little like the idea of a French press appeals to you. I like
mine.
Just one caution. If you make the full beaker and plunge vigorously,
the
hot water can come up over the top and spill onto your hand. I've never
done it but I've known people who have. Just apply force to the plunger
gingerly and you should be fine.
