Iterative optimization process
How to use an iterative optimization process to refine coffee recipes through systematic adjustments, measurements, and sensory feedback.
Bed depth and hydraulic resistance
How coffee bed depth influences hydraulic resistance in espresso and filter brewing, shaping flow rates, extraction uniformity, and flavor balance.
Kalita Wave: flat-bed extraction
How the Kalita Wave’s flat-bed design promotes even extraction and how to optimize brewing technique.
Variance reduction and SOPs
How to reduce variability in coffee production and brewing through standardized operating procedures (SOPs).
Contact time and temperature
