Stirred Bloom to Center

Heart Coffee Roasters' Portland V60 guide uses an assertively stirred bloom followed by slow pours concentrated over the center of the bed. This controlled contrast promotes even saturation and a clean, sweet cup that exposes origin character.

Notes

Stir the bloom decisively enough to wet the deepest grounds, then let the slurry settle. Keep later pours centered over coffee and off the filter wall; the narrow target supplies sufficient agitation. Finish with a gentle stir to level the bed, using a coarser grind if the forceful bloom causes stalling.
