Moksha from Mocha: The Science of Coffee

Coffee is the third most consumed beverage in the world (after water and tea) and caffeine is the most consumed mind-altering substance. We drink coffee for the latter while largely ignoring the fact that it is the richest single source of antioxidants in our daily diets.

This video breaks down the science of how various forms of the beverage are made and debunks common myths

CORRECTIONS
1. While Espresso does mean Express, it refers to the action of being "pressed out" rather than speed
2. Some clarity regarding the Moka pot: The Steam turns to water as it goes through the coffee and extracts flavours. It's not the steam that literally extracts
