Why Does the Used Coffee Bed Split into Two Layers?
Last week, we discussed why pour-over coffee requires circular water pouring. We learned this technique improves extraction efficiency while preventing water from flowing chaotically, helping establish a controlled flow path to achieve uniform extraction. When the used coffee grounds form a "bowl-shaped" pattern, with the grounds along the filter cup's edge creating a distinct layer from the bottom, it's often a sign of your brewing technique. This separation indicates that water has flowed through the coffee bed in a way that created channels, potentially leading to uneven extraction. Understanding this phenomenon helps coffee enthusiasts refine their pouring technique for better extraction consistency.
