US EditionNew optimal coffee-making method according to science
- Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania discovered a technique to brew better pour-over coffee using fewer beans.
- With climate change threatening coffee production, researchers aimed to optimize brewing for efficiency and reduce waste.
- The technique involves pouring water from a greater height to create turbulence and better mixing, leading to stronger coffee.
- Ernest Park recommends a high pour height with laminar flow, while Margot Young notes thin jets break into droplets, and Arnold Mathijssen stated that we can learn from the kitchen.
- The study, published in *Physics of Fluids* on April 8, 2025, demonstrates a method to decrease coffee bean quantity while maintaining flavor.

Researchers have worked to optimize the use of coffee grounds in pour-over coffee. They recommend pouring from as high as possible while still maintaining the water's flow. In particular, the group found the thick water jets typical of standard gooseneck kettles are ideal for achieving this necessary height and laminar flow. Displaced grounds recirculate as the water digs deeper into the coffee bed, allowing for better mixing between the water a…
