Coffee is a very important part of our daily ritual, with most people enjoying at least one coffee a day, whether at home or at a café. However, have you ever thought about what goes into the perfect cup of coffee? Why is the coffee you make at home different from the coffee you buy outside? Why is it when you buy coffee from the same shop with the same barista, it sometimes has a different flavour?

 Christopher H. Hendon joined us to talk about some little secrets of a good coffee. He is an Assistant Professor of Computational Materials Chemistry from University of Oregon. He recently published an article called “How to make the perfect cup of coffee – with a little help from science” on The Conversation Website.
