Mathematicians are a step closer to understanding what makes a perfect cup of coffee.

Through some complex calculations, they have shone a light on the processes governing how coffee is extracted from grains in a filter machine.

This could help drinkers optimise their cuppa by applying a more precise - and scientific - approach.

The work is published in the SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics.

When it comes to coffee grains, size matters.
