I watched some videos of coffee blooming using standard Chemex, but my coffee doesn't bloom like that. As far as I can tell, my coffee isn't blooming at all. What's wrong?
Does course or fine grounds affect blooming?
What I do is the same as they do. After rinsing out the unbleached filter with near boiling water, I put the freshly ground coffee into the filter and slowly add the water as they do, but after watching a number of videos, my coffee has never bloomed like that. Not even remotely close to that. However, the coffee tastes better then I could even do in drip maker or French Press.
What is the secret of this blooming technique? Does the kind of beans matter? I use standard Columbian beans by bulk, Costco.
