Can you guess why and how I use this in my normal brew method? Will explain my normal brew method in another post. Might even make a YouTube demo video if anyone interested

I use a metal chop stick to create the cone in the ground coffee so when the bloom water is pour it reaches all the grounds evenly.

Yes, that's 1 reason, but if you carry it beyond the bloom it causes even more even extraction for light roast especially. But can reduce heavy body which I don't actually want in a light roast because it reduces clarity and flavor not separation. That is why I like tea like body because it increases tasting note clarity. I love coffee that has complex flavor. Light roast seam to have the most separation of notes ehen done right. Don't like Starbucks burnt dark roast 2 roast flavors common in most commercial coffees nowadays.

I use a single pour that blooms and Finnish the pour by using mainly visual for bloom scale or just fill 2 cup v60v2(a v60v2 with this method holds a 10 Oz cup of coffee water amount ). Stir from outside to in. Cannot clog because grounds suspended in water. Great for light roast especially. Greats low body, high note separation when done right. My preference is light roast so this works best. Maybe I need to find my tripod snd make a video demonstration. If anyone interested I will try to make a video, just ask. May take a little time. Not sure where tripod at, haven't used it in years. But I'm willing if enough interested

This is my new daily user. Note this is a stock photo from the website. But a little over $100 at Walmart and despite the celebrity endorsement, it does a nice job. Little finicky to program and a little slow. But, you get fresh ground coffee.

I still have my Mueller K-Cup maker for caffeine emergencies when time is of the essence.

Mine is currently loaded with Bali Blue Moon from freshroastedcoffee.com

You said it's slow 🐌, about how long does it take to grind and brew the coffee?

For an 8 oz cup on the bold setting, I just clocked 4 minutes and 24 seconds from pressing the go button to "ding fries are done.". But you could pull your cup probably 20 to 30 seconds sooner than that if you don't care about the last few drips and the machine telling you it's done.

Note that you can also use pre-ground coffee as there is an option to turn the grinder off.

Thank you. When you mentioned how long originally. It got me wondering how long it actually takes me yo do a v60 pour over from start to finish. I'm betting heating up kettle takes longest on my usual brew method. I did time my Normcore V2 hand grinder with flat burr. About 30 seconds on 25 clicks. Single pour method I usually use about 1 minute 36 seconds to 2 minutes not counting any setup. I'm gonna time the whole thing from start to finish just out of curiosity. Time only tiny bit important. Enjoyment of the process and end results count the most. Love the work flow and process and taste of coffee

You're welcome.
Yeah definitely depends on your brewing method. I guess I should have clarified with saying slow as compared to K-Cup.

That's funny because cost of k cups is what got me started on my coffee ☕️ journey that turned hobby rabbit 🐇 hole. Started by getting refillable cup and preground Folgers classic roast. Discovered fresh roasted coffee at Innkeepers . Bought beans and grinder to put in refillable cup. Didn't work so we'll because fresh beans degas and cause overflow problems. So changed to Breville espresso machine, Clever Dripper, French Press, moka Pot, Oxo pour-over, then V60. Will probably get Oxo Rapid Brewer.

It is definitely a rabbit hole and can be a very scientific process if you want it to be.
