Quick Answer
This is usually a filter or grind-consistency issue, not a coffee problem.
Try These First
- Check your filter
Make sure it isn’t torn or the wrong size for your brewer. - Grind slightly coarser
Very fine particles can slip through some filters. - Let French press settle
Press slowly, and let it sit a moment before pouring. - Use a burr grinder
Blade grinders produce uneven particles that clog or slip through filters.
