Ratio Eight - Brewing Phases Explained; Bloom Phase; Brew Phase; Ready Indicator

Bloom
The Ratio Eight will deliver a small amount of water to pre-saturate the grounds in preparation for the full
brewing cycle. The water distributed then allows the fresh-roasted coee to breathe and the coee will
begin to “Bloom.” The coee will bubble slightly signaling it is ready for the next phase.
Brew
After a few moments, the Ratio Eight will switch from “Bloom” to “Brew”, and the hot water will again be
delivered from the shower head. Depending on the amount of water you add to the tank, the brewing time
will take between 4 and 7 minutes, including bloom rest period and final draining of coee grounds. The
Ratio Eight optimizes the amount of “Bloom” and “Brew” time, while the powerful heating element will keep
the water temperature between 195ºF/90ºC and 205ºF/96ºC. If the tank is empty, the heating element will
turn o.
Ready
Your brew cycle will complete when the “Ready” indicator is on. The water may continue to drip through the
grounds for the next 10-40 seconds depending on the grind.
