The Mathematics of Coffee Extraction: Searching for the Ideal Brew
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)

Composed of over 1,800 chemical components, coffee is one of the most widely-consumed drinks in the world. Understanding the mathematics of coffee extraction can help identify the influence of various parameters on the final product. In a paper publishing in the SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, authors present and analyze a new multiscale model of coffee extraction from a coffee bed.
