Honestly, just get an Aeropress. That thing is just unreal. All my other coffee gadgets have been tossed in favour of it.

I can certainly try a fine grind - thank you for the suggestion.
I reckon the Italians had it right when they settled on a standard espresso
Lady BMcH would want about half that and the rest water.
That's a Chemex style dripper if I'm not mistaken.
There's a method I employ with my Hario cone dripper that is successful; which you could also try.
- Heaped scoop of appropriately ground coffee into the filter
- Get your water and just pour in enough to cover the grounds, and then stir that bitch so that all the grounds are wet. You should get a thick crema on top of the grounds. This should take about 30s
- Wait for all the water to pass through.
- Slowly pour the rest of the water over in a circular motion. Another 30s
- Take your time! Time is key.
See how you get on. Making coffee is a real chemistry; but incredibly satisfying. The guys in my office have a coffee machine that makes utter shit and I just can't drink it now I've learnt how to make it properly!EDIT: Found this too: https://ineedcoffee.com/chemex-coffee-brewing-history-and-tutorial/

I use a paper filter because it absorbs the ‘oil’ which is quite high in cholesterol because I’ve got heart issues.
I use bog standard Colombian or Java filter grind - 2 heaped scoops per mug gets me going in the morning.
Oh and I don’t use tap water, still mineral water. After a holiday in Italy I had an idea the water had something to do with the difference in how things tasted - please allow me have my fantasies.
It works better on the camping stove than the kitchen stove as well, I think. I'm assuming because on the camping stove I can keep the heat more directly under the base of the moka, less heating of the sides.
If you're using a manual drip cone, start by pouring a little bit of water to dampen the grounds first, then pouring the water on. Stops the grounds from floating up and sticking to the sides of the filter paper.
But I can't be arsed with the science. When I get a good one, I savour it. When I get a bad one, I struggle through and let my disappointment pass a few minutes later.

Though I will add that tea is less British than coffee, and thus tea drinkers are less worthy citizens.
Huh? What? Wait a minute while I google stuff and come back with a devastating and witty reply. Be about 4 years
