Blooming Reveals Hidden Flavors in Your Coffee

It Smells Better Than It Taste — a quiet coffee newsletter where I share what I’m learning about coffee, curiosity, and daily rituals, this channel is an extension of that space: https://www.itsmellsbetterthanittaste.com/ Welcome to our latest coffee experiment! In this video, we dive deep into the art of coffee blooming and how it can transform your daily brew. Using the Hario V60, we'll explore the impact of different bloom times (0s, 30s, and 60s) on flavor and extraction. We'll keep things simple and easy to follow, perfect for both beginners and seasoned coffee enthusiasts. Watch as we measure TDS readings with a refractometer and compare them with our tasting notes to see how blooming affects the taste. Whether you're looking to refine your brewing technique or just curious about the science behind coffee, this video has something for everyone.
