The day my French press made sludge for 2 years before I tried a coarser grind
I was making muddy coffee for years until a barista in Portland watched me pour and said 'dude, your grind looks like dirt.' Switched to a 28 setting on my Encore instead of 14 and now my morning brew actually tastes like coffee instead of sadness. Anyone else have that one dumb mistake they made for way too long?

28 to 14? That's not a grind change, that's a confession.

Laughing at the "muddy coffee for years" bit because I did the exact same thing... kept blaming my cheap grinder when really I was just grinding it into dust like a fool. Finally watched a video where some guy said "if it looks like cocoa powder, you've messed up" and it clicked. Now I tell everyone who complains about bitter coffee to just go coarser but they never listen... more good coffee for us I guess.
