Two professors at the University of California, Davis have created a chemical engineering course designed for college students without a background in mathematics. They entice students to enroll in the course by using a not-so-secret ingredient: coffee. go.aps.org/3bADqIq
Wet coffee grounds can behave like a non-Newtonian fluid - perhaps this insight could be used to improve espresso preparation and V60 pour over technique? @CoffeeSciLab @chhendon youtu.be/zv-JYE1Lv9o

I've just stumbled across this brilliant blog post on "Latte Foams" by @Prof_S_Abbott. Highly recommended for anyone into #coffeescience! stevenabbott.co.uk/practical…

I built my own basic smart scale from off the shelf parts, at relatively low cost. Best thing is being able to customise the firmware to suit my needs. The board has wifi and Bluetooth and could even run a webserver if I wanted it to.
The trouble is you pretty much need to buy a "smart" scale in order to get a scale that is responsive and waterproof. If acaia offered a "basic" option at a lower price without any connectivity/smart features I'm sure it would become their best seller

After reading some recent blog posts by Scott Rao and Marko Luther on noisy #coffeeroaster temperature data, I've been keen to test some other techniques. Are there any coffee roasters willing to share some data? #coffee @coffeeroasterau @CoffeeRoastersG @BaristaHustle @sprudge
Not your average roasting video. Brilliant in fact! youtu.be/t2s7iJJ7zDo
Fascinating insights into the degassing of coffee by coffee scientist Samo Smrke. If you've read my blog post on the impact of CO2 on espresso extraction, you should watch this video! youtu.be/LhsLtIIxNTo

This looks like a nice little DIY project for home roasters who like to tinker with electronics! #coffee #diycoffeegear #homeroasting #homeroaster #DIYCoffeeGear #diycoffee #coffeeroasting

Great to add some context to the slides @chhendon, really enjoyed your presentation! Very keen to read about your extraction kinetics model - something I've been wondering about for a while. Are you publishing open access?

I'm looking for a new milk jug to help with my latteart - probably something 500mL - 600mL capacity. Any recommendations? #latteart #homebarista #coffee #diycoffee #espresso

Some great advice here! One of the great things about my Bezzera is how easy it is to access the internals (after first ensuring it is unplugged from the power supply)! #homebarista #diycoffee #espresso #coffee #diycoffeegear

"Its a coffee colloquialism that is masquerading as a scientific term." - There a so many examples of this in coffee. Thanks Lucia Solis for helping break through the dogma and pseudoscience! baristamagazine.com/10-minut… #coffee #coffeescience #specialtycoffee #homebarista #greenbeans

As a #homebrewer who doesn't care for dark beers, I've never tried brewing a #coffee beer. After reading about the @BrewByNumbers approach, I might have to rethink! xitter.cf/sprudge/status/9903771…

That sounds interesting! @chhendon will you be debunking the idea of the elusive "even" extraction? xitter.cf/chhendon/status/987019…
