Modeling puck resistance over time
How the resistance of a coffee puck evolves during the brewing process, influencing flow rate and extraction dynamics.
Flow rate
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.
Grind size effects on flow
How grind particle size influences water flow, extraction efficiency, and flavor balance in brewed coffee.
Agitation, turbulence, and channeling
How movement of water through coffee grounds affects extraction uniformity, flavor, and potential defects.
Percolation vs immersion dynamics
Understanding how water flow dynamics—percolation vs immersion—affect coffee extraction and flavor development.
