Wave filter

Flat-bottom paper with 20 pleats. The pleats keep the paper off the wall and the water drains evenly through the bottom.

Do not crush the pleats when seating it; rinse gently so the filter keeps its shape.

Bloom
Pre-infusion. A small water dose over the grounds (usually 2x the coffee weight) that releases CO2 from fresh coffee. Without it, extraction gets uneven.
