Aeropress vs French press, my 2 week experiment ended with a clear winner

So I finally did that side by side test I kept putting off. Bought a $15 French press at Target and used my Aeropress that I got for my birthday two years ago. Same beans, same grind setting, same water temp around 200 degrees. The French press gave me that gritty sludge at the bottom and the taste was kind of muddy, even after 4 minutes of steeping. The Aeropress took 90 seconds total and the cup was SO much cleaner and brighter, like night and day. Am I doing the French press wrong or is this just how it goes for everyone?

Love that you wrote a whole essay about coffee, but it's just hot bean water, man.
