You’re doing pretty much everything right. The key is to zero in on the grind and getting consistent with that, keep the water temperature the same and brew with it right off the flame and personally I would “bloom” the grounds by getting them just wet enough to, well, they bloom you’ll see, then fill halfway, stir a bit with a spoon and then fill to the top and complete the brew.
I don't think you need to bloom coffee grounds when using a French Press as you're about to totally immerse the coffee in water anyway. It does look neat, though!
Most coffee brew has some type of pre infusion with the hot water, espresso, pour over, dripper…if you don’t bloom you miss out on all the volatile oils that pop off the surface of the fresh grounds.
Trust. And pre infuse 🙏
KK. I'll pre-infuse with half a litre
