Halving grind diameter increases surface area by ~4×. More surface area = faster extraction. The Physics Of Filter Coffee Pdf

Just finished "The Physics of Filter Coffee" by Jonathan Gagné. ☕️🔭

Water viscosity drops significantly as temperature rises. Hotter water moves through the coffee bed with less friction, accelerating the flow rate. Simultaneously, higher thermal energy increases the diffusion coefficient ( ), causing molecules to move and mix faster. Selective Extraction This public link is valid for 7 days

Researchers found that maintaining a higher pour height (without breaking the flow) can improve the extraction consistency. Conclusion

During a pour-over, the slurry (the mixture of water and grounds) loses heat to the air and the brewer itself. Maintaining a stable temperature is crucial for a predictable extraction rate. Summary for the Home Scientist Can’t copy the link right now

Coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world, yet its scientific study is relatively young. The Physics of Filter Coffee bridges the gap between anecdotal brewing wisdom and rigorous physical principles. By applying fluid dynamics, porous media theory, and thermodynamics, Gagné explains why variables like grind size, water temperature, and pouring technique have a profound impact on your cup's flavor.

Freshly roasted coffee contains trapped carbon dioxide. The first pour ("bloom") releases this gas. If not managed properly, this CO2 creates bubbles that block water contact with the coffee, causing uneven extraction.

Extraction rate is proportional to concentration gradient inside the coffee particle.
