MMeets—The science of coffee • 27 January 2018

Everyone loves coffee, but what's the science behind the perfect morning cuppa? This special MMeets event, presented by La Trobe University, brought together a physicist (Dr David Hoxley) and a coffee scientist (Dr Monika Fekete) to explore what makes coffee taste the way it does. Audience members were invited to 'pour over' the science of coffee in this interactive morning workshop, complete with crowd tasting (and scoring!) for adults and curious kids alike. The workshop started with a presentation by both speakers—have a listen below. This event was made possible with the generous support of Three Thousand Thieves; and of the Hugh D T Williamson Foundation through funding for MPavilion's series of events looking at design and science.
