Question
Is it considered straining if you use a Coffe press, which brews the Coffee for four minutes (Yom Tov Only question) and then you push the strainer down onto the coffee grounds separating it from the liquid coffee and then pour the liquid out into a coffee cup.
Answer
This does seem to be straining which is prohibited on Yom Tov.
