Yeah, you don't need as fine a grind or serious tamping on a mocca can. The steam goes in a different direction, see.

I remember a time when sugar was invited into the cup - I have not had teh afailure in many years and I'm not going back since I saw the face of Coffee. Only milk now, white from a cow breast.
Without coffee the european history would not have taken flight, and now even Mozart's ghost is helping the beans to feed our souls

I make my coffee pretty much the same every day, and yet some days it turns out extra good. Today is one of those days.

Fuck the bloom. I'm going to pour over the god damn freshly ground Kenya AA in my Chemex right to rim. Stop me.
― Free Stormy Daniels (Sanpaku), Wednesday, 7 March 2018 18:02 (eight years ago)
Bloom that shit, then stir it. Let out that trapped CO2, and your cof will be less acrid.

the bloom
i respect it
but it could be bullshit huh
― marcos, Wednesday, 7 March 2018 19:24 (eight years ago)
You can perceive with your eyeballs that it isn’t bullshit! The coffee visibly foams up and subsides when you bloom it.

It probably depends on the grind and freshness. I've got my conical burrs set just larger than espresso powder, so the grinds de-gas rather quickly once immersed in hot water. By the time I've poured over to the half way mark, there are no more bubbles. I'm also not drinking $20/lb coffee fresh from a roaster, my beans have spent a few months in nitrogen purged packaging, and have already degassed a bit.
Waiting for a bloom strikes me as a gratuitous ritual, on a par with swirling then tossing vermouth from a martini glass. If it does make a difference, its rather minor compared to bean, roast, grind, and brew method. It's on the order of those who break out digital thermometers to ensure their brew water is exactly 205 F (96 C), rather than pretty darn close. I've bloomed (as the Chemex instructions suggest), I've just slowly poured over for a couple minutes, and I couldn't taste the difference.

Coffee is a gratuitous ritual, that’s why it’s fun.
― valorous wokelord (silby), Wednesday, 7 March 2018 22:41 (eight years ago)
cautionary tale - drink un-bloomed coffee even once and your palate may be as ruined as sanpaku's is
― the late great, Wednesday, 7 March 2018 23:01 (eight years ago)
also not drinking $20/lb coffee fresh from a roaster
