Why does nobody talk about the grind setting for a French press?

Last month in my Chicago kitchen, I realized my coffee was way too bitter because I was using the same fine grind as my drip machine. Anyone have a good starting point for a coarse grind on a Baratza Encore?

Honestly, people get so intense about French press grind size. It's just coffee, not rocket science. I used to stress over it too but then I just went with what looked like rough sea salt and it worked fine. The Encore's coarse setting is probably fine, just don't go to the absolute max. Tbh if it tastes okay to you, that's all that really matters.

Right? Why do we overthink it so much. My best cups came from just eyeballing it, not measuring.

My buddy's best brew was a total accident, honestly.
