I guess, but they could hit the mark for both types of customers by adding a removable cage or tray at the bottom that you could just lift out with the press.

Put a metal filter on a pole like a normal press, then slide a second filter over it attached to a holo pole that acts kind of like a sandwich for the grind.

Have some sort of twist mechanism that allows you to lock the 2 poles and lift both together and BAM! quality insulated French press coffee.

Maybe I should drop a patent on this...

There might be a way to do it, but tbh it sounds messy. You'd have to fully encase the sandwich or you'll have grounds falling out into the coffee. So you'll need a lip on the bottom filter to act as a vertical wall. Then you'll need a rubber gasket to get a tight seal on the bottom so grounds don't go around the edges and later get in your mug when you pour. The whole apparatus will undoubtedly be dripping as you take it out, so it needs to be done over the sink or trashcan.

At that point, might as well get a thermos.
