Summary

Water is the most important ingredient in a cup of coffee. It can make a cup go from being undrinkable to mind blowing. That’s why for this episode we invited Dr. Christopher Hendon on the podcast. A scientist, professor of chemistry, and co-author of Water For Coffee. We talk about the most important variables to measure in water, the impact of magnesium and calcium, and mineralization post brew.
