The press plate doesn’t have a screw but rather a nut that is part of the plate that the the plunger handle screws into.

My daughter was given a French press coffee last year. After just few times of using it, it got disassemble. I noticed that the spring came off of the ring. How can I put it back??? Thank you

On mine the screw is on the plunger which screws into the cross plate. There isn’t a separate bit that could be lost.

Hi
My son bought me a beautiful French Press plunger Christmas 2022.
I’ve used it several times, but just now after cleaning it appears the cross plate does not have the middle screw on bit to secure the filter screen & spiral plate. Could this be correct? Does the middle of the cross plate have a screw that can separate? Or have a lost it? I watched a YouTube clip on assembling but it was a different model. Appreciate your help with this! Thanks very much. Melissa
