GM. Ive been drinking coffee more so this week I broke out this french press. I bought it on overstock with Bitcoin near the peak in 2017. Those are cheap stas now.

I’m all over the place with coffee, but decided the French press is a Sunday am thing 
I find with the French press the "bloom" stage is important.
but I'm a dark roast guy and don't like the sour flavors.
What is the bloom stage? Coffee is getting too complicated… 😆
lol
I thought i was the only one who didn't know....
Before you fill up the French press, you add just a little bit of hot water and the coffee "blooms"
it kind of puffs up and expands and creates a crust
then after 2-3 min you add the rest of the hot water
I have never heard this! Thanks 😊 I guess? Does it make it better?
