Matt Perger from the Barista Hustle noticed something strange while putting together his Immersion Brewing course. When brewing coffee in a French Press the lid was left off during the brew, it seemed to increase the extraction significantly. This is not what we would expect. Leaving the lid on the French Press should keep the water hot longer, which would increase the extraction. We recommend that you leave the French Press lid off at least until the crust has broken. This will maximize extraction. This effect was already observed in previous experiments to determine the best time for breaking the crust during cupping. To ensure that cupping did not depend on the crust insulating its surface, we covered the cupping cups with polystyrene covers. We found that the extraction rate was lower the longer the polystyrene lid was left on. The longer the cupping bowl is covered, the less extraction … Read More

Many foods and drinks that ‘go dark’ when they dry or cook are influenced by the Maillard reactions. Although Strecker degradation is often thought to be a subset, it plays a crucial role in coffee’s unique and important Maillard reactions. It creates almost all of the CO2 in your beans and contributes to the distinctive aroma of fresh coffee. … Read More

I love iced coffee. Not necessarily cold brew coffee with ice, though iced cold brew is awesome too. I love an iced coffee made with espresso. Haven’t seen many people sharing this preference of mine, but that’s what I love most. The problem with chilling espresso is that by the time it cools down properly, it starts to oxidize, it changes taste, and loses the oomph. I tried chilling it on the ice, and it is acceptable, but it gets a little too diluted for my taste. What I like to do is to cool it down very fast, the put it in an ice cube tray, and freeze it into coffee ice cubes. This is the best coffee ever. The Zoku coffee chiller is the device I needed to tweak my espresso ice cubes preparation to perfection. The Zoku Iced Coffee Maker is a coffee chiller, great for chilling any hot … Read More
