Mathematicians are a step closer to understanding what makes a perfect cup of coffee [bbc.com].
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 [siam.org].
When it comes to coffee grains, size matters.
