The Physics of Filter Coffee is the result of two years of research into understanding and mastering the science of filter coffee. Jonathan Gagné went through the scientific literature, set up dozens of experiments and analysed data from thousands of brews to build the knowledge he shares in this book.
It covers topics such as particle size distribution, water chemistry and pouring technique, and tackles popular coffee debates with a data-driven approach. An essential read for every serious coffee lover, or anyone who wants to become one.
Jonathan Gagné is an astrophysicist at the Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium in Montreal and a coffee perfectionist. On his blog Coffee ad Astra he has spent years testing, measuring and explaining coffee brewing with the rigour of a scientist.
Why every coffee lover wants this:
- Built on data: dozens of experiments and thousands of analysed brews
- Grind, water and pouring: the variables that shape your cup, explained
- Myths tested: popular brewing beliefs, checked against physics and measurements
- Practical: insights you can apply straight away at home or behind the bar
