I never knew what the bloom was, but I blindly followed directions from smart people on using the french press. Pour the 90C water into the pot, wait a minute, then stir the beans down into the water. Wait a few minutes more. I usually do 1min+4min.

Nothing wrong with that. Pretty much textbook. Here’s a thing to try. Pour in the water about half way. Give it a quick stir. Let it sit for 45 seconds and then slowly pour in the rest of the water. Let it sit for 4 minutes. Then puncture the grounds in a couple places. Wait another 2 minutes and then plunge. Also the water should be 93C.
