Stood in my kitchen at 6am and dumped out my French press for good
I was boiling water in a pot because my kettle broke last Tuesday, poured it straight into the press without waiting, and the grounds came out bitter and muddy, so I switched to a $12 pour over cone I had sitting in a drawer and the same beans suddenly tasted sweet, and now I want to know if anyone else made the switch after one bad cup.

That boiling water you poured straight in was probably the real culprit, not the press itself. Water that hot scorches the grounds and pulls out all the bitter stuff, so try letting it sit for 30 seconds or so before you pour and the press might surprise you.
