Got a French press. Asked the coffee shopkeeper to give me a French press grind. He looked at the French press and made the grind. Black coffee drank this way tasted marvellous. My parents did not want to "waste" the coffee so they would drink with the sediments as well(like an instant coffee) and complain about the coffee being too bitter.

We will only make coffee in a cafetière. We much prefer it that way, or at least my husband does. We have several glass ones which makes life easier - a one person sized (which they claim is 4 cups) and 2 person size (supposedly 8 cups). I can only assume that they think we should be drinking it like expresso coffee!
 
That looks like a bodum French press :)
I got the same one alrhough I don't use it often*. I like the coffee it makes though

* I generally make 1 cup of coffee and use an aeropress. I use a French press on holidays, but a stainless steel one
 
I had four presses like that at one point, two large and two small. I’m down to just the one small one, and the thing I use it for most is to occasionally froth some milk. It works a treat!

Which roast are you using?
We drink a lot coffee, dark roast.
Italian roast is our preference as it's a dark roast with a lot of flavour whereas French roast is close to borderline burnt IMO and has almost zero flavour 🙂
 
There's a lot going on with coffee flavor. The temperature of the water, ground contact time, the roast level, the size of the grind...
 
We drink filtered (drip) coffee for the most part, and have an espresso machine and stovetop espresso makers for other times.

Have been aware for some time of studies showing that filtered coffee is *better* health wise than unfiltered (filters out certain compounds) but also aware that it's possibly a contentious issue.

It was medium ground. My first time buying coffee so I did not notice much information.
