Ep. 49. From the Archives: Coffee brewing, alternatives and space coffee!
2025/10/21
Hello everyone! In this new episode of The Food Science Addict, I am doing a bit of a rewind and stepping into the Archives of the podcast. Here I am merging three episodes related to coffee! We will explore the science behind coffee brewing, exploring how different methods transform flavour and texture in every cup. But that’s not all as we’ll also look at what happens after brewing: how coffee by-products are being reimagined in food innovation, sustainability, and product development. To make things even more exciting, I’ve added a special segment on what it takes to brew espresso… in zero gravity! I know in the episode I am mentioning a blog post I wrote in the Food Sci Addict blog that is no longer live, apologies about that!
