We love our French press! I don't think there is any extra cleaning involved. It's so simple: boil water in a teapot, put a scoop of coffee in the press, pour the water in, stir a bit, press, and pout into your mug. For cleanup, I simply rinse with warm water. Then I wash it every so often.
On weekends, I like to add some bailey's to my mug!
