I have a french press that I rarely use - I've made a great cup of coffee with it but I've made way more bitter or watery cups. I didn't take enough time to narrow down the variables so never quite got it figured out.
I use an aeropress on weekends and that seems far more consistent. I have a hand burr grinder and get the ethical beans or kickinghorse beans and I really enjoy the results.
