If you're unhappy with the taste of your home-brewed coffee, you'll probably look for a new bean supplier. However, there could be another culprit: your water and specifically, how many minerals are ...

Additionally, the team says that pouring water from as high as possible is essential for achieving a strong coffee, as it ...

Arnold Mathijssen, a physicist at the University of Pennsylvania, is partial to pour-over coffee, which involves manually pouring hot water over ground beans and filtering it into a pot or mug below.

They've just published their findings. Titled "Pour-over coffee: Mixing by a water jet impinging on a granular bed with avalanche dynamics," their 10-page paper in the journal Physics of Fluids ...

Strong—but focused—water jets create an avalanche in the coffee grounds. Displaced grounds recirculate as the water digs deeper into the coffee bed, allowing for better mixing between the ...

Researchers have worked to optimize the use of coffee grounds in pour-over coffee. They recommend pouring from as high as possible while still maintaining the water's flow. In particular, the ...
