Patience with bloom time changed my chemex brew

I found that waiting 45 seconds for the bloom improves flavor. Now my chemex coffee is much smoother.

That 45 second wait for the bloom is key. I rushed it for ages and my coffee was always harsh. Giving it that extra time makes a huge difference in the cup.

So what grind are you using for that bloom? A finer grind makes it harder for the water to get through. Ever try adjusting that with the longer wait?
