Summary
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a new method for making espresso-strength coffee using ultrasonic sound waves and room temperature water, eliminating the need for hot water and high pressure. Their study, published in the Journal of Food Engineering, included blind taste tests showing the ultrasonic espresso is indistinguishable from traditional espresso. The process cuts energy use by up to 75% and produces coffee in under three minutes.
