My impressions

Not recorded yet. Brew 1 was on a grind far too fine for French press, so it says little about the coffee.

Best recipe so far

Taste

Not recorded. I added milk after pressing.

Fault and likely cause

The grind was the finest setting, which is too fine for French press. Predicted result, not tasted notes: bitter and muddy from over-extraction.

Next change

Grind coarser. Nothing else changes.

Notes

Approximate, from memory.
