Sounds like the best way to do this!
Be careful not to overheat the coffee though :)

I would not be putting a bearing in an oven if you want it to have all of its grease in it and in a useable state.

Just buy a press or pay someone with a press a nominal fee to do it for you.

Grandmothers & eggs and things- but don't forget to put the brake backplate on before the bearing ;)

It is easy to forget when you are excited to try out something like a new press :)

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
