Are their any coffee connoisseurs on rdrama?

You didn't say what type of grinder you got but I'll say for French press you need a burr grinder. The spice type with the spinning blade makes grinds of completely different sizes which fricks with the consistency of extraction. It also make a lot of dust that will pass through the sieve and become bitter sludge in your cup.

Electric kettles are great but temperature controls aren't really necessary. Dialing into the degree won't make a noticable difference. 10-20 seconds off the boil is just about right for most beans.

There's lots of online stores where you can get fresh roasted, single source beans. Some of my favorites have been Ethiopian. Skip the meme shit like blue mountain.

Get some of those old timey glass jars with the hinge and rubber gasket to store your beans. Fresh beans will continue to off gas so it's important to keep them in a sealed container that can hold a bit of pressure to retain the volatiles.

Lot of variables go into brewing but the main one you'll need to dial in for French press is grind size. It's a slower brew so your grinds will need to bigger than you'd think. Trial and error this. Too bitter, increase the grind size. Too acidic, decrease the grind size.
