Filter Brew Guides

When brewing filter coffee, we often talk about agitation and the bloom, but what do these terms mean and why are they important in the brewing process?

First up, agitation. Agitation is a mild disturbance of the coffee grounds during the brew process. There are many ways to agitate coffee, the most common being stirring. Agitation brings more intensity to the cup, often at the expense of clarity. We only recommend agitating older coffee as it can bring more life and complexity to the cup.

The bloom is part of the brewing process in which the gases from the ground coffee are released. When hot water comes into contact with the grounds, they immediately begin to purge themselves of the carbon dioxide, creating the bloom effect. The purpose of the bloom is to pre-wet the coffee grounds to allow the coffee to expand. On contact with water, the coffee expands, creating a larger surface area, allowing for a more flavoursome brew.
