Regardless of whether you make coffee in a french press, an AeroPress, or a Siphon Vacuum Pot, you're going to need to stir those grounds. Those who know better will tell you that a metal spoon or knife is rubbish for such a task — it steals heat from the brewing liquid and it's just not wise to go around banging a metal object against the walls of a glass container. These bamboo stir sticks are super cheap and make for the ideal companion for stirring your coffee. I own three myself.
