minimum dose size?

I use the Hario switch to brew my coffee and am trying to reduce my caffeine consumption. Hence I would like to brew smaller cups of coffee. I am currently using 10g of coffee with 160g of water. (1:16 Ratio) I am wondering if there is a minimum amount of coffee...

Blooming auto drip mind blown

So I’ve been in a cycle of pour over, aeropress and French press with my auto drip in between for a while.

I love the non auto methods (no issue with drip either), especially the rituals of each process.

However, on work days I’ve just found that the time I’m spending on those methods isn’t conducive for a productive morning.

Recently I’ve settled into using my auto drip during the week and French press on my days off.

I like consistency so I buy high quality beans available at most National groceries: stumptown, intelligentsia, counter culture etc… and grind them myself.

I weigh water and use that weight to calculate the weight of beans for a given batch. I use purified water always for my coffee.

The results have been great. However…

Several days ago I saw a post on Instagram where someone suggested blooming your auto drip beans.

So I started incorporating the method into my drip coffee routine. Water, double the weight of the beans, heated in my electric kettle. Pour over the beans, wait 40 seconds and turn the machine on.

The results have been stunning. As good or better than any drip I’ve had at any of our local coffee shops.

And I’m not brewing acid bombs that seem to be the go-to profile at most coffee shops these days.

The best part is that adding blooming to my auto drip routine adds little time to the process.

If you haven’t bloomed your auto drip coffee before I highly recommend it.
