My barista in Portland told me to stop swirling my pour-over and just let it bloom, and I'm kind of shook.

Hardcore swirl person" is too real, I used to act like I was mixing paint at a coffee art show. Now I just stare at it and hope for the best like @holly_walker76 said. My old method was basically just making a tiny whirlpool for no reason. The bloom-only move feels lazy but honestly the coffee tastes better. I guess I was just overthinking my morning mud water.

Shook" is right, I was a hardcore swirl person for years. Then a friend showed me how just letting it bloom makes a cleaner cup. I don't even own a spoon for it anymore.
