Cambridge Physics Centre presents COFFEE BEANS: pressure, volume and temperature by Dr William G Proud
Thu 6 December 2018
Cavendish Laboratory
In the last 100 years the technology of coffee has advanced significantly. Roasting spoons, rotating ovens, French presse, moka pots, espresso machines and recently aeropress have taken coffee from ‘black sooty clots’ to ‘light, frothy, nutty’, and the splendours of the colour-intense flavour wheel. There is an increasing understanding of the physics, chemistry and genetics of coffee to provide a huge range of possibilities, and a reproducible individually-tailored drink. This talk will introduce these concepts and discuss how such a commonplace drink involves basic science and engineering.
