Based on the title provided, you are referring to by astrophysicist Jonathan Gagné .
Several physical parameters play a crucial role in determining the quality of filter coffee:
Most baristas assume "off boil" (100°C) is too hot. Gagné’s updated model shows that the slurry temperature (water + coffee) drops 6-8°C immediately upon contact because the coffee grounds act as a heat sink. The updated book provides a cheat sheet: pre-heat your brewer to 70°C, not 90°C. The math inside proves why.
