    I had a professor tell me to remove Merriam-Webster not just from my paper, but from my past. Therefore, I call your source invalid. :eatdrink013:

    Amphetamines must've been a heck of a drug.

    I think we need to put this matter of defining "Bloom" to rest. So, I just checked the Rusty Blade Dictionary (a highly credible source);) and I quote the following:

    Bloom (pronounced just as it is spelled; very similar to the sound a bomb makes when it goes off):
    Definition;
    1) A very flexible word that can be used to describe the actions or physical properties of various items, for example: brushes, soaps, coffee, algae, flowers, among others;
    a) In the wet-shaving world the word "Bloom" can be used to describe what happens when brushes get big and fluffy, or the process of soaking, drowning or immersing a soap puck in water until it turns soft and mushy; or it can be used to describe what happens when blood dripping from the end of a SR hits water. Example: "He nicked his earlobe with his straight razor and the drops of blood hit the water and bloomed, turning the water crimson".
    2) Something flowers do when they want to attract bees or the noses of people;
    3) A word known to annoy many because of its many uses and applications.

    I think that should settle the matter! :cool:

    @Rusty blade , you didn't mention (or I missed it) whether you grind your own beans. Grind (particle size) can make a big difference as well. If you're getting your coffee pre-ground from the store, chances are the grind (which is suitable for a drip maker) is too fine. Coarse grind is where you want to be for French Press method. And you can experiment there too with varying levels of coarseness.

    Yes...I forgot to mention. I went to Second Cup (a local cafe that makes very good espresso)...and I asked them for a dark roast coffee bean (Sumatra) and asked them to grind the beans suitable for a French Press. She set the grinder on "French Press" setting and bingo-bongo it was done!
