I stumbled upon an unexpected youtube video featuring a young man and his trip to Italy. In the clip, he daringly decided to add a few ice cubes to his cup of hot coffee he just ordered, only to be abruptly interrupted by the vigilant store owner. We often don't see how odd things are when we...

In think the popular science discussion about multiverse theory has problems. For example, they suggest that in another universe, coffe is green. Problem, coffe in our universe is brown for a reason, it reflects brown light. If it would reflect green light, it must contain other chemical...

Started a new job, this is the coffee vending machine. When I click on cappucino, only cappucino comes and it's very bitter(no sugar). The sugar is in "milk" part. But I am not sure how to turn both milk and cappucino at the same time. I've been making a fool of myself by taking 3 glasses, 1 for...

The summary describes the situation. Most coffee ground beans let the hot water go through the filter paper more or less slowly maybe taking a few minutes to brew a serving of coffee through the coffee filter paper. Some other beans, usually of African origin, take much longer to brew. The...

What mechanism or mechanisms cause filter paper to block coffee oils? As I understand it, these "oils" are mostly cafestol and kahweol, which are both functionalized polycyclic molecules with a molar mass around 315. Cloth filters do not prevent these oils from getting into the brewed coffee...

I have never been to a coffee shop before. I usually just buy instant coffee and have it with milk and sugar (occasionally I get one from McDonald's) . I hate black coffee but I read that it tastes bad because I am using instant coffee for it. I don't really know much else about coffee but I...

Hey everyone, I came across physicsforum.com while trying to answer a puzzling question I'm facing. I'm building a portable nitro coffee dispenser and need to know how much PSI I need to put in a small nitrogen tank to adequately dispense the beverage. Here's the facts; I have a 64oz keg that...

As a resident of the USA, my only experience with Sicilian coffee is watching how it is portrayed in the "Detective Montalbano" series. The cups are small, which makes me think that it might be a very strong "turkish coffee" beverage. Is it?

Just Qualitative Analysis: There are many ways of cooling a coffee cup. But here I want to understand about concept of fins. So I am using a spoon to enhance the heat transfer rate. Put the spoon vertically in the cup. We have two ways to put the spoon, other one is upside down. I am curious to...

So the autumn equinox and colder weather are here. In this time of year, people feel the need to warm up with hot drinks. What's your favourite one? Are you a tea or a coffee person? Or perhaps you prefer cocoa or hot chocolate? Do you care about the specific brand and preparation method? Have...

I wondering what actually happens when you brew coffee (or tea) with hot water. Every source I can find simply talks about how long you need to brew it to "draw out" the flavor or "release" the caffeine. I'm interested in what's actually physically happening to the coffee grounds that makes it...

Doc Al's recent thread on the effects of coffee on naps got me to thinking: How do you like your coffee? You can check as many categories as you want!

I've been performing a little experiment on my self lately. I would routinely drink 1-2 cups a day, so I decided to give it up to see what would happen. Even after two weeks of letting my body forget about the addiction, I feel much more unmotivated and tired. Then I started thinking about how...

Are the two circuits attached the same? "Circuit diagram" is the original schematic file, and "circuit" is the one I tried creating online. Are they the same? I am doubtful of the overlapping of the wires and also the power sources. Thanks so much!

If an object of mass M falls under the influence of gravity and a drag force Fdrag, we may write Newton’s Second Law as Ma = Mg - Fdrag Where a is the acceleration of the object and Mg is the weight of the object. The drag force has the general form: Fdrag = bv^n Where the drag...
