Find out the secret to
making the perfect espresso coffee!
The researchers believe that they identified
the secret element of
preparing the perfect espresso coffee
and said that adding a small amount of water to
the coffee beans before grinding them produces
a more coherent and tastier espresso.
They revealed that during normal grinding
friction between coffee beans generates electricity that causes
the particles to combine together and stick to the mill.
Adding
the moisturizing element reduces
the amount of electricity produced
which means wasting less coffee to make the flavors much stronger.
Christopher Hendon
associate professor of computer chemistry at the University of Oregon
United States, said: "Moisture, whether left inside roasted coffee
or external moisture added during grinding, determines the amount of
charge that forms during grinding.
Not only does water reduce static electricity
but it can also have a significant impact on the intensity of the drink
and possibly
the ability to reach higher concentrations than preferred flavors.
In the study
published in the journal Matter, researchers wanted to
check how electricity produced during the grinding process
affected the taste of coffee.
They collaborated
with volcanic experts
who study similar electrifications occurring in volcanic eruptions.
Joshua Mendes Harper
Assistant Professor of Electrical
and Computer Engineering at Portland State University in
the United States, said: "During the eruption
magma is divided into
a lot of small particles that
then emerge from the volcano in the shape of
a huge column, and during it all, these molecules come into contact
with each other and charge even the degree of lightning production.
In a simplistic way
it's like grinding coffee
taking these pills and turning them into soft powder. "
The team measured
the amount of static electricity generated
when grinding different types of coffee beans
noting the country of origin.
They also took into
account methods of processing grains
including whether they were natural, washed or decaffeinated.
The researchers said that the electricity produced during the grinding
was not affected by the source of coffee
or how it was processed
but that there was a correlation between the electricity
the color of the roasting, and how coarse
or accurate the particles were.
They revealed that
light roasting produced a lower charge
which is likely to be positive, while dark roasting was negatively
shipped and produced a larger total charge.
The researchers also
found that dark roasted
coffee produces much more precise particles than light roasted coffee.
They then
tested whether grinding
with water changes the way espresso is prepared.
They found that
when the grain was grinded with little water
this led to a stronger drink, compared to grinded grain without water.
The Panel said that grinding with water made espresso
coffee flavors more consistent
overcoming a significant obstacle to
coffee makers and industrial coffee plants.
