The Coffee Equation

Chase Purdy from Quartz unveils today how mathematicians are solving the perfect cup of coffee problem. See my summary below for more details.

With over 1,800 chemical components in a cup of filtered black coffee scientists believe if they control the make-up of these, they can create the perfect cup
Studies show that brewing the ideal coffee is down to how the coffee travels through drip filter machines, so they’ve been scrutinizing grain size and flavor extraction
They hope to make advances on coffee machines for the capability to adjust according to individuals’ tastes—different flow rates for the perfect extraction
