Bloom Time
When roasted coffee beans are freshly ground, they can release trapped gases,
notably carbon dioxide, which can make your coffee taste sour. To alleviate this,
your coffee maker has a bloom function that automatically pours a small amount of
hot water on the coffee
grounds
before brewing, which helps the carbon dioxide
to escape. This allows the remainder of the brewing process to continue extracting
only the desired aromatics and oils in your coffee, to give you the freshest cup
possible.
The SmartHQ
TM
mobile app allows you to customize the time allotted for the bloom
process so you can fine-tune your brewing process. Following instructions for
adjusting bloom in the mobile app.
Scheduled Brew
Using the SmartHQ
Mobile app, you can set up a schedule of brews that span a
TM
few days or a whole week so your coffee is ready when you are.
To start, always make sure you have enough beans and water in the bean hopper
and water reservoir for your scheduled brew, and place the gold tone, or paper
coffee filter in the brew basket the night before, or before the scheduled brew
times. Follow the instructions in the mobile app to program scheduled brews ahead
of time for up to 7 days.
