Explores core chemical engineering principles through the process of brewing coffee. Students will examine the journey of coffee from bean to cup, integrating topics such as mass and energy balances, heat and mass transfer, reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, separations, and process design. Students will gain practical experience in designing and conducting experiments, optimizing brew parameters, and analyzing flavor profiles using sensory and instrumental techniques. By the end of the course, students will not only understand the science behind coffee brewing, but also how to apply chemical engineering principles to real-world food and beverage systems.
