You can use a paper filter after french press. I would personally just do a pourover at that point, but if you are unable to achieve a nice consistent medium-fine grind then you may get the best results with an immersion brew (James Hoffman’s french press technique) poured through a rinsed paper filter
There’s a lot of variables for coffee. Are you using quality beans, or folgers? What kind of roast? Is the water the right temperature and the right ratio? Are the beans fully coarsely ground? Have you tried blooming the grounds first?
My total perception of coffee changed with a French press. Not snob level, but I like coffee more because of it
I don’t care for it. When you run it through a filter you get a lot of the oils out. Pour over is the way to go imo

I’ve never had French press coffee that wasn’t too weak :/
To each their own, but mine sits unused
Hotter water and finer grind helps.
But yeah, I still find moka pot easier, especially if I’m making a single cup
