I bloom the coffee by pouring a little water in first, then swish it around 20 or 30 seconds. Then add the remaining water.

I'm not sure why. It was how I was taught.

Blooming coffee grounds does have some effect on the final brew. https://www.seriouseats.com/the-hows-and-whys-of-blooming-coffee

But in a French press, I just fill it up to my mark, wait a few seconds, and swirl the grounds around to get rid of the CO2 bubbles.
