The Effect of Flow Rate on Espresso Extraction
Investigating how changes in espresso flow rate influence flavour clarity, sweetness, body, and extraction characteristics.
Question
How does controlling flow rate affect espresso flavour when other brewing variables remain consistent?
Hypothesis
Slower flow rates may increase contact time and extraction, potentially increasing sweetness and body, while faster flow rates may preserve brighter acidity and lighter characteristics.
This experiment is planned. The method, results and conclusions will be added once it has been run.
