I almost always brew V60 at larger (400ml+) volumes and have found consistency at higher doses to be tricky. Swirling and stirring were better than nothing, but I still wasn't achieving as even an extraction from cup to cup as I wanted.

A couple months ago, while experimenting with ways to more efficiently agitate post-bloom, I stumbled upon a technique (or at least one I hadn't seen discussed before) that has greatly improved both consistency and extraction uniformity, which I call "bloom frothing".

'wet WDT' can also be used to achieve a similar effect. It has been easier to use on flat bottom brewers.

Here is a barista hustle post about it:

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I definitely wouldn't attempt BF with a zero-bypass brewer. The electric frother I'm using spins at something like 19000 RPM on low, so I can't imagine how long drawdown would take. For brewers like Tricolate and Nextlevel, a more gentle form of agitation like Wet WDT would seem ideal.
