And the only thing I love more than someone applying science to coffee is actually drinkin the stuff. Wishing I could drink the cup I made earlier this evening but it is too early in the night, currently.
I brew Vietnamese style, and I use 4 tablespoons of beans, medium-fine ground (about ten seconds in my shitgrinder) to brew 4-6 oz of liquid (never measured exactly). It takes a bit of cream to get it to change color.
The coffee that the physics major above is describing is called “The Black Blood of the Earth.” And I really wanna try some.
edit: Now I reaaaaaaally wanna try it:
Phil: “Okay, what the bad news?”
Chemist: “There was so much caffeine it oversaturated the detector and probably blew the calibration.”
P: “Crap. What’s the good news?”
C (jumping up and down with glee): “There was so much caffeine it oversaturated the detector and probably blew the calibration!”
