Am I the only one who started blooming my Aeropress coffee in the plunger?
My morning cup was always a bit weak, so after seeing a video from a roaster in Portland, I tried adding the grounds and a splash of water to the plunger first for 30 seconds before inverting and brewing. It made a huge difference, but my friend says it's a pointless extra step. Has anyone else tried this method?
Honestly it's just coffee, not a science experiment lol. If it tastes better to you then cool, but maybe don't overthink it. The whole ritual is getting a bit intense.
