Have you ever noticed that when you pour hot water over freshly ground coffee, it starts to bubble and release gases? This fascinating process is known as blooming, and it plays a crucial role in the overall flavor and quality of your coffee. Blooming is the initial step in the coffee brewing process where hot water is poured over the coffee grounds to release trapped gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), and allow the grounds to expand and fully saturate with water before brewing.
