Extraction balance

Taste mapping by profile style

Taste mapping by profile style

How different espresso profile styles—pressure, flow, and temperature manipulations—map to sensory outcomes in the cup.

Sensor fusion: TDS + flow + temp

Sensor fusion: TDS + flow + temp

How sensor fusion—combining TDS, flow, and temperature data—provides deeper insight into extraction dynamics and quality control in coffee brewing.

Pressure and flow profiling curves

Pressure and flow profiling curves

How pressure and flow profiling curves influence espresso extraction, and how baristas and researchers use them to optimize flavor and consistency.

Fines migration and flow restriction

Fines migration and flow restriction

How fines migration—the movement of tiny coffee particles during extraction—affects flow restriction, channeling, and cup quality.

Dial-in order: grind, dose, water

Dial-in order: grind, dose, water

The logical sequence for dialing in home coffee brews by adjusting grind size, dose, and water composition for consistent results.

Cold drip towers and flow control

Cold drip towers and flow control

How cold drip towers work, the role of flow control in extraction, and how they differ from immersion cold brew methods.
