PSA: bloomed my coffee in the mug for 6 months, then tried blooming in the carafe
I always poured a splash of hot water over the grounds right in my mug, waited 30 seconds, then filled it up, and it was fine. Last month I switched to blooming in the glass carafe first, gave it a little swirl, and the cup came out way sweeter with none of that bitter edge at the bottom. Is the wider surface area really the whole difference, or am I just fooling myself here?
