You bought the wrong beans.
You didn't grind it coarse enough.
You didn't wait long enough after taking your water off the boil before you began steeping.
You didn't sift the fines out of the grounds before adding them to the press
Gavin Clark
how course are grounds supposed to be?
are they supposed to be fine like powder or more granulated?
Brayden Anderson
A coarse grind is better for french press
Blake Flores
French press grinds are usually the coursest grind setting.
You would do well to not buy pre ground coffee for this brewing method
I have a 24oz press and I find that 7tbsp of coffee to 24oz of water works very well for me, as it's strong enough for me, but not so strong that it's hard to drink.
I also just grab some beans from the grocery store, I go to Publix where they have a grinder on site

The coarseness/fineness of your grind depends on what method you're using to make the brew.
>Aeropress/Espresso/Bialetti all need fine ground beans (like flour)
>Chemex/pourover/coffeemaker need medium grind (think the granularity of sea salt)
>French press/Canadiano need Coarse ground beans (think fleur de sel)
When you're grinding your own beans, and you're making a coffee that needs a medium or coarse grind, you're going to want to sift the grinds through a fine mesh sieve first. This removes tiny particles of coffee dust called "fines" that when left in a pourover or french press brew leave a bitter or acrid taste. For a pourover or press coffee, sifted grinds will produce the most mellow, tasty cup
