Mathematicians are using their to make the perfect cup of coffee. It is that mathematicians are trying to find what is behind the perfect cup of coffee, but coffee consists of 1,800 components. If you combine with the different of brewing coffee, there are many involved. The mathematicians used some complex to find out how to make an cuppa. Researchers Dr William Lee and Dr Kevin Moroney focused on what happens to coffee as it goes through filter coffee .

The scientists hope their will change the way coffee machines are made. Dr Lee said: "Our idea is to have a complete model of coffee brewing that you could use to design coffee machines, like we use a theory…to design racing cars." Coffee might soon be able to adjust the that affect the taste of the coffee as it is filtered and brewed. These include how the water is and how it flows, the of the ground coffee, the length of time it is brewed, and more. The research is published in an Applied Mathematics .
