Brass coffee press "hand"

I love french press coffee, especially a finely ground extra clear pressing, for it's clean and bright extraction. Also I love the Freudian coffee piston action, it's pretty. What I don't like about it is need for constant pressure on the plunger. With my preferred grind the cake is a slow but effective filter, and much like any other substrate layer filter it requires a low but constant pressure to prevent the collapse of the proper filtration bed. This means constant pressure not constant flow. My invention solves the problem of inconsistent hand pressing and subsequent poor filtration by placing a large brass or lead filled casting weighing a pound or so atop the french press plunger. This should be decorative (a hand, a coffee bean, a "1 ton" weight) and rest securely atop the press.
