Coffee bed
Kalita Wave: flat-bed extraction
How the Kalita Wave’s flat-bed design promotes even extraction and how to optimize brewing technique.
V60: grind, pour patterns, and filters
How to optimize grind size, pouring technique, and filter choice for consistent and flavorful V60 brews.
Modeling puck resistance over time
How the resistance of a coffee puck evolves during the brewing process, influencing flow rate and extraction dynamics.
Darcy-style intuition for flow in beds
How to conceptualize water flow through coffee grounds using principles inspired by Darcy’s Law, connecting pressure, resistance, and flow rate.
Filter permeability and resistance
How the physical properties of coffee filters affect water flow, extraction, and cup quality.
