What does bypass mean? Why do we need to add water or dilute freshly brewed coffee?
Accidentally brewing coffee too strong, resulting in a taste that is both concentrated and harsh, is a common problem that many beginners in coffee brewing have faced. With a mindset of not wanting to waste, we typically think of adding water to it, similar to the cooking approach for other dishes, hoping to salvage this pot of coffee by diluting its concentration.

FrontStreet Coffee often explains that the shape of a coffee bed crater doesn't determine whether a cup of coffee tastes good.

A uniform, symmetrical coffee bed serves as proof that we've controlled the water flow perfectly during extraction. However, for many coffee enthusiasts, achieving that perfect, even extraction remains an elusive goal.

Should You Use Hot Water or Room Temperature Water to Wet Your Filter Paper?
Most coffee enthusiasts wet their filter paper before brewing. This practice serves several purposes: primarily to ensure the filter paper adheres properly to the brewer, preventing hot water from bypassing the coffee grounds and seeping directly into the lower pot; secondly, to reduce the amount of coffee liquid absorbed by the filter paper during the blooming stage; and thirdly, to remove any paper taste from the filter, which is less commonly mentioned today.
