☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

I would say, to create a more consistent product. If you pre wet it, it doesn’t take any time for it to start dripping out. Whereas, if it were dry, it would take a bit to saturate the paper before starting to drip, which would make the first cup pretty strong.
My Moccamaster booklet says to, so I do it.
t’s to not take away from the bloom. If your filter is dry then your first coffee goes in to the filter and not in to your carafe/cup.
