How to have a pleasantly strong coffee without using a larger amount of ground coffee? Scientists have the answer!
Do you love filtered coffee? This is something for you!
What do scientists will not find out! Not all science is boring and uninteresting. Especially when it comes to coffee, which is extremely popular in all ends of the world. Such a study has the potential to attract most of us. In this case, it is also quite practical findings that may be useful. Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania examined the process of preparing filtered coffee, or how the taste of the drink affects the height from which you pour the ground grains with hot water.

Let’s say what this attempt was. The point was that scientists tried how to affect coffee filtered through an ordinary paper filter, the height of the poured water. Imagine this by either having a kettle directly on the filter and a short distance you will pour hot water on the ground coffee inside this filter, or lift the kettle with water and spill coffee from a height of at least 20 cm or more.
The name of this study published this year in the Physics of Fluids magazine can be gritted into Czech as “drip coffee: mixing of water flowing on a granular bed with avalanche dynamics”. However, these are these procedures.
Maybe in this case, it will make you mind as someone from a high height and distance pouring tea into a bowl. It looks similar, but the reason is quite different. In the case of tea poured in this way, it is a cooling of water. For coffee, the effect is quite different.
What role does the height from which you pour the water?
Scientists have discovered that naturally ground coffee will upset and mix more intensively when pouring from a higher height. As a result, the substances that bring more intense taste occur. Coffee then seems stronger without adding more ground coffee to the filter.
You will surely acknowledge that it can be quite advantageous and that in this way you can save some coffee, which, especially if it is of high quality, also costs considerable money. According to experts, you can use up to 10 % less coffee.
Scientists have focused on this problem because the cultivation of a popular and very delicious kind of Arabica is becoming more demanding. It is a plant sensitive plant and grows only at a certain altitude. This time, science came up with an unexpectedly practical solution that is applicable in every household.
