Samo Bloom: Cooler Bloom Pourover
"A much cooler 50-60°C bloom to retain volatile compounds, aiming for a fruitier, less bitter cup."
Tips & Preparation
Idea behind:
-
The recipe focuses on retaining volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by using a cooler bloom.
-
The idea is based on research showing that desirable fruity VOCs decrease with higher extraction percentages.
-
A cooler bloom (50-60°C) aims to reduce evaporation of these VOCs during the initial brewing phase.
-
The recipe involves blooming with cooler water, then raising the kettle temperature for subsequent pours.
Variations:
- Experiment with bloom temperatures up to 80°C or 85°C.
Result:
-
The extraction yield of the hot Bloom was a little bit higher about half a per higher.
-
The TDS was actually just a little bit higher there was less that came out which was interesting.
