Coffee lovers can now enjoy their daily brew while saving money and beans. A recent study reveals that changing your water-pouring technique can lead to a perfect cup of coffee with up to 10% fewer beans. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania used advanced tools to explore the best methods for extracting flavor from coffee grounds. The findings are timely, as coffee prices are expected to rise due to growing challenges in coffee cultivation.
• Pour slowly to allow more flavor extraction from the beans.
• Use a gooseneck kettle for better control of water flow.
• Raise the kettle about 50 centimeters above the coffee grounds for optimal results.
• The study's insights may also benefit other fields, like erosion research and water filtration.
This research is important not just for coffee enthusiasts but also for addressing future coffee price increases. By optimizing brewing techniques, consumers can enjoy their favorite drink while being mindful of costs and resources.
