Yea, I always just grind about a dozen and a half beans or so and make 6 oz cup of joe with French press in the morning. A good quality bag of organic beans lasts me a good while and I end up spending about $10 on HQ coffee for an entire month or two.

Can't tell if trolling. I use 50 grams for a 20 oz cup, or 15 grams for 6 oz. 18 beans isn't enough to make the water tea color.
If you’re steeping for several minutes using a french press then yea, it becomes a good strong 6 oz cup of brew.
I just checked with my coffee and 100 beans was 13 grams, or about 0.13g per bean. That means you're using 2.3g for a cup of coffee. That's about a teaspoon of beans or a half-teaspoon of grounds (they're more tightly packed). There's no way that's strong.
When I make weak coffee I use 1g per ounce, which is almost 3x what you're using. You can still see light through it if you hold it up to a window, and that's grinding it to an espresso powder and using a pour-over with filter paper which gives stronger coffee than a French Press.
