I’ve been using fresh press for years and I love it for it’s simplicity. Beans + water + time = coffee. Start simple and slowly with a coffee scoop and dial in something you like by eye then late you can go full nerd adjusting parameters one by one at your own tempo. Start with a kitchen scale, then buy a grinder then fiddle with temperature, grind size, technique etc etc. And you’ll quickly discover hown different parameters affect your coffee. I like French press because it’s so simple but yet so complex you can always find new ways.
