The Science of CoffeeHow specialty coffee woke up to water’s role in flavourFor the longest time, the coffee community only cared about water’s impact ruining espresso machine boilers and kettles. But what about water’s impact on coffee flavour?
In this episode, I tell the story of how the specialty coffee community came to understand water chemistry: the pioneering work of the computational chemist Christopher Hendon and British roaster Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood, the genesis of the SCA’s Water Quality Handbook, and where we are today understanding the impact of minerals on our water.
I strongly recommend listening to the two episodes before this one...

Water really matters when you’re brewing coffee. Different waters can dramatically change how a single coffee will taste.
But what is the right water for the best coffee?
In this episode I will give you the answer, but I will first take you back billions of years to tell you the story of a single mineral and how it's responsible for making our coffees taste lame. Because here’s the thing: water science is chemistry, and chemistry is ver...

Science FridayPolice Behavior Research, Dermatology In Skin Of Color, Coffee Extraction. June 5, 2020, Part 1This week, the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and other Black Americans by police brutality and racial inequality continue to fuel demonstrations around the nation. In many cities, police are using tear gas, rubber bullets, and other control tactics on protesters.
A history of 50 years of research reveals what makes a protest safe for participants and police alike. The findings show that police response is what makes the biggest difference: de-escalating and building trust supports peaceful demonstrations rather than responding with weapons and riot gear.
And, as thousands of protesters risk abrasive, cough-inducing tear g...

Recap: Recent Developments in Coffee#2 | January 30, 2020Welcome to Recap, a new podcast from the Specialty Coffee Association offering a brief overview of recent coffee developments every two weeks. The monthly materials science journal, Matter, just published a study suggesting a new mathematical model for repeatable espresso extraction. Focused on the computational and physical attributes of espresso, the authors suggest that, if widely implemented, the protocol outlined in the study could significantly reduce coffee waste. Remarkably, the study was co-authored by Brisbane baristas Michael Cameron and Deschen Morisco, who tested the techniques of the study in a coffee shop. This study has a...

Researchers have to recruit human subjects for a clinical trial, collect all the data, and analyze the results. All of that can take years to complete, but the end result could be worth it: a drug that treats a rare disease or improves patients lives with fewer side effects.
Or the opposite could happen: The drug doesn’t have any effect or makes patients worse. So the question is, how is the public informed of the outcome?

Tamper Tantrum AudioCup North 2015: "Water For Coffee?" | Chloe Callow
There’s no denying that water is a hot topic in the coffee industry
right now, thanks to the work of Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood and Christopher
Hendon on “Water for Coffee”, but is
it necessary—or even desirable—to put systems in place to concoct the “perfect”
water in every shop?
Chloe Callow (Bespoke Water, Pendred & Co) took the stage at Cup
North 2015 to talk about basic water science, the different approaches to
filtration she comes across regularly, and why you shouldn’t blindly implement everything
you read.
