Bill Ristenpart on Using Science to Change the Way We Brew Coffee | Re:co Symposium 2020

The coffee industry has been using the Brewing Control Chart for over 70 years.

In this talk, we'll explore the assumptions behind this time-tested tool, and learn about new research that tests the foundations of coffee brewing, sensory evaluation of coffee, and how to measure it all. This will be an exciting glimpse into cutting edge coffee science.
