French press makes coffee that's way over extracted. You can get a Hario v60 for like $10 and it will change your life (well, at least you coffee habits).

Even since moving to pour overs, I rarely go back to espresso. And this is from a 3-5 double espressos a day guy.

Next, try cold filter. Wow.

I usually control that with the time the grounds are in contact with water and the size of the grounds.

But heck at $10 + paper filters I will get it and try it out. Might even have to get the cute little metal hot water pot. I have to say, like any proper addiction, the ritual of making the coffee, the anticipation, the smelling of grounds and so on. I can see how this provides those elements.
