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. https://t.co/w6SwMR3d6Y

@decentespresso ...or perhaps "Zero Point Module not included."

@decentespresso "from coffee import *"

@jimseven Vesuviana? https://t.co/qblSRJqE14

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 https://t.co/weK0rphfL4

[The DIYCoffeeGuy @DIYCoffeeGuy]

@decentespresso @decentespresso any reason for the over-under weave? Might be problematic for espresso cups? I've got cooling racks which are similar in design (but not over-under) including one made from ~6mm stainless steel tubing (with sealed ends).

I've just stumbled across this brilliant blog post on "Latte Foams" by @Prof_S_Abbott. Highly recommended for anyone into #coffeescience! https://t.co/oJQeIqqrMp

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.

[Lewis Cole @jazzcoffeestuff]

@jimseven 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

[The DIYCoffeeGuy @DIYCoffeeGuy]

@rocketscream Any plans for an OSPID v2 or similar?

[The DIYCoffeeGuy @DIYCoffeeGuy]

@roasterjoe @NickCho @vanessabayer I'm looking for Part 1: How to cremate your own coffee beans at home.

Not your average roasting video. Brilliant in fact! https://t.co/4SaxRVOT7P

Then check out my experiment on re-extracting espresso https://t.co/7KeifAUQhQ

[The DIYCoffeeGuy @DIYCoffeeGuy]

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! https://t.co/GTpClDBiHQ

@jimseven Nice work @jimseven! Both informative and entertaining.

[The DIYCoffeeGuy @DIYCoffeeGuy]

@duck4jpn Thanks!

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

@decentespresso @decentespresso are the different "steps" different pump speeds?
