Revolutionary Ultrasonic Technique Brews Cold Coffee in Minutes
Australian scientists have developed a method using ultrasonic waves to drastically reduce the brewing time of cold brew coffee, offering a new quick alternative for coffee enthusiasts.
- The new brewing method can produce cold brew coffee in just 1 to 3 minutes, compared to the traditional 24 hours.
- Ultrasonic waves are used to agitate coffee grounds, speeding up the extraction process without heat.
- Initial tests show that ultrasonically brewed coffee has a similar quality to traditionally brewed cold coffee in terms of flavor and texture.
- The technique was developed at the University of New South Wales and involves modifying existing espresso machines.
- Despite the high initial cost, ongoing refinements have significantly reduced the expense, making it more accessible for commercial use.
