Personally, I haven't seen this before but I can take an educated guess and would say people do it to help improve the saturation of the dry coffee bed when pouring the bloom.
There's lots of techniques that coffee makers employ when pouring hand brews to deal with the issue that often when you're pouring the bloom, not all of the coffee grounds are getting wet. This means that you can get an uneven extraction, this is why you see a lot of pour over recipes asking that when pouring you pour from the center outwards in a spiral to make sure you saturate all the grounds evenly.
It would be a lot easier to evenly saturate all the grounds if the coffee wasn't in a conical shaped brewer as the surface area isn't flat, this means there is more coffee to saturate in the middle than at the sides.
Essentially the reason people would create this shape on the top of the coffee bed, would be to obtain a more even extraction by creating channels in the top of the coffee bed for the water to run through.
Personally I think this would achieve a marginal difference in creating a better extraction and is purely an aesthetic achievement this brewer has created or seen and recreated. You can achieve a better extraction by pouring better.

It says 5 stars but you cannot rate this abo at all. I'm dissapointed because I get same coffee again and again and I don't like it at all. Even cheapest Spig Blume roast mix is better. Sure maybe it's not my cup of tea but could you send just different once. I ordered cofee once in two weeks so it's not even very short time. I wouldn't recommend this abonemet.
ich habe eine Box (knapp100€ mit 1,2kg Bohnen) als Geschenk bestellt
gesendet wurde eine Box für 50 € mit 250g Kaffee und 2 Tassen ...
ich warte aktuell noch auf Rückmeldung vom Kundenservice , den werde ich dann extra bewerten .
aufgrund des bestellverlaufs bisher kann ich absolut keine Empfehlung aussprechen!
So disappointing this year. We have ordered the advent calendar for years now (and paid for shipping to the US - that's how much we liked them) but this year was a complete disappointment. Many of the tins had stale beans in them - they even smelled staled right when opening them. Very few nuances and just plain boring coffees. There were a few highlights sprinkled throughout but nothing worth writing home about. Honestly, I am looking forward to returning to my regular coffee. I won't be ordering this calendar again next year sadly.
Dank anaerober Aufbereitung bietet der Kaffee ein üppiges Aromaspektrum, beginnend mit ausgeprägten Fruchtnoten und gefolgt von Schokoaromen. Für diesen Kaffee muss man sich - auch in der Zubereitung - etwas Zeit nehmen. Er ist definitiv kein Alltagskaffee. Dafür ist er auch zu hochpreisig.
