  • The bloom is essential for recently roasted beans. It allows the CO2 to off gas. You want the CO2 to properly off gas because the water cannot enter the grounds if the gas is try to escape. I believe Lance Ledrik (Youtube guy) uses a 2 minute bloom. I have bloomed beans twice if they were very very recently roasted (within a week).


  • A minimum 1 minute bloom. Start with a coarse grind first then work toward more fine if needed on the next cup. Try to not over agitate while pouring because it can drive the fines into the filter paper slowing the draw down to a crawl.

    The change to a Fellow Ode 2 (which produces very few fines) from good grinders that produce a somewhat normal amount of fines, made for a big change in cup clarity and draw down time.

    The 1zpresso ZP6 would be similar to the Ode 2 in producing very few fines as a hand grinder.
