Well, FRiends, now that we are discussing French press pot coffee, can someone give me a clue?

I’ve tried a coffee-maker, percolater and now a press pot, and my coffee still tastes like something out of a muddy hoofprint.

I must be doing it wrong.

Hello Cloverfarm, #1. You have to have good water.
#2. You need good fresh coffee
#3. You need the right grind for your brewer. Course for French press, not so course for perk, finer for drip, finer still for Aeoropress and Chemex, and really fine (clumps together) for espresso #4. Use the right amount for the brewer. The Aerobie AeroPress has a small measuring cup that comes with it. One scoop for light coffee 2 for espresso strength. You can't really go wrong with this little jewel. :-) Oh, and, for the Aerobie, the water should be about 175 degrees Fahrenheit, not boiling.
