The Physics of Filter Coffee by Jonathan Gagné is a groundbreaking exploration of the science behind brewing exceptional filter coffee. Written by an accomplished astrophysicist and coffee expert, this book brings a level of analytical precision rarely seen in the world of specialty coffee.

Blending scientific rigor with practical application, Gagné unpacks the variables that influence extraction—grind size, water chemistry, flow rate, and filtration—while presenting original insights that challenge long-held assumptions in the coffee community. He carefully examines and clarifies many debated brewing theories, helping readers separate myth from measurable reality.

Despite its scientific depth, the book remains highly accessible. Complex principles are explained with clarity, empowering readers to make informed adjustments and consistently improve their results. Whether you're dialing in a pour-over recipe or refining your understanding of extraction dynamics, this guide offers tools to elevate both technique and consistency.

Perfect for curious home brewers, professional baristas, and anyone passionate about precision, The Physics of Filter Coffee is an essential resource for mastering the art—and science—of filter coffee.

Every day there is a new hypothesis surrounding coffee, which leads to some new trend everyone mimics on instagram. This leads to new tools and brewing methods and the narrative becomes that if you aren't doing this new thing then you are old news.
