Adjusting this duration lets you match the pre-infusion to your coffee's freshness and roast level - fresher or lighter roasts benefit from longer bloom times to allow more CO2 to escape, while older or darker coffees need less. A fixed bloom setting cannot account for these differences.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat temperature does the Bonavita Enthusiast brew at?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Enthusiast brews at 90-96°C (194-205°F), the temperature range recommended by the Specialty Coffee Association for optimal filter coffee extraction.
