Maillard: where flavor is born.

In the roast's browning phase (~150–196°C), amino acids + reducing sugars form hundreds of new flavor compounds — the nutty, bready, chocolate notes.

Same chemistry as a seared steak, in one bean.

Myth: coffee dehydrates you. In habitual drinkers, controlled studies show coffee hydrates about like water. You get dehydrated from not drinking enough — not from your cup. #coffeescience #caffeine

Most flavor isn't taste at all.

Your tongue finds sweet, sour, bitter. Retronasal smell tells you that sweet is dark chocolate.

Try it: sip with your nose pinched, then release.

Your coffee is 98% water.

If the water's off, the cup's off — no bean can outrun bad water chemistry. (Chart straight from my book.)
