Switched to a French press for cold brew concentrate, the flavor curve is real after 3 weeks

I spent like 2 years using a mason jar and cheesecloth for my cold brew. Messy, but I thought it was fine. Then I grabbed a cheap 8 cup French press off Amazon for $25 because I was tired of sludge at the bottom. First batch was okay, second batch was smoother, by the third week I could taste the difference without even trying. The metal filter lets some fines through but not the mud. I also started steeping for 18 hours instead of 12 and that changed the sweetness profile. Anyone else notice the first few batches from new gear taste off until you dial in the grind size?
