Brewing

Term	German	Turkish	Definition
Bloom	Bloom	Ön Demleme	The initial phase of a brewing cycle where a small amount of water is applied to the dry coffee grounds, causing them to release trapped carbon dioxide gas (degassing). This process facilitates uniform saturation, prevents channeling, and prepares the coffee bed for consistent extraction.
Overextracted	Überextraktion	Fazla Çözünmüş	A brewing defect that occurs when an excessive amount of soluble compounds is dissolved from the coffee grounds into the water. This typically results from a grind size that is too fine, a brewing time that is too long, water temperature that is too high, or an incorrect coffee-to-water ratio. The resulting cup profile is characteristically harsh, bitter, and astringent, leaving a dry sensation on the palate that masks the coffee's inherent sweetness and delicate acidity.
Pull	Ziehen	Espresso Çekmek	A traditional industry term for extracting a shot of espresso. The expression is a historical holdover from the era of manual lever-operated espresso machines, where the barista physically pulled down a lever to compress a spring and drive water through the coffee bed. Today, the term is widely used in cafe culture to describe the preparation and extraction of any espresso shot, regardless of whether the machine is manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic.
Turbidity	Turbulenz	Su Hareketliliği	In coffee brewing, turbidity refers to the physical agitation, turbulence, and fluid movement of water and coffee grounds within the brew bed. Controlled turbidity enhances extraction by keeping grounds suspended, increasing physical interaction between water and coffee particles, and promoting a more even and efficient extraction yield.
Underextracted	Unterextrahiert	Yetersiz Çözünmüş	A brewing defect that occurs when insufficient soluble compounds are extracted from the coffee grounds into the water. This typically results from a grind size that is too coarse, a brewing time that is too short, water temperature that is too low, or an incorrect coffee-to-water ratio. The resulting cup profile is characteristically sour, salty, and grassy, lacking sweetness and balance while leaving a thin, watery mouthfeel.
