Imagine what Windowlicker coffee would taste like…

Bro.You haven't really had espresso till it's been brewed with a vinyl recording of David Bowie's life on mars.
The essence of convection "without" heat?
Well, in the home it is, but this is more likely to be impactful for coffee shops. We might end up surprised at where tech like this could take us, even if it doesnt go far in the barista world
On the other hand, it may have the unintended effect of keeping rats and mice away from brewing sites.
Ah yes the most important thing to save energy on: the 1500 watt appliance that's on for 15 minutes daily.
It's a neat idea, I just hope they take the unintended consequences into account. Imagine this product being used at an industrial scale near wildlife.
Just what we needed, merging of the espresso nerd and audiophile demographics.
Proof concepts can be refined to dampen sound beyond the unit. Its cool to save energy.
They better have used The Hottest 100....
A few months ago I saw a video of someone who used an ultrasonic cleaner to make extracts, so i tried it. I did 30 - 60 mins for each of orange peel, banana peel, pepper corn, anise, vanilla bean, cinnamon, and coffee. The coffee smelled absolutely disgusting, but this was like an hour rather than 3 mins. I had no idea how much time was appropriate. I also used vodka instead of water. Idk why I thought the coffee would work. The rest seem roughly what I'd expect. I've done traditional extracts previously. It makes sense to try water for coffee. I feel dumb for not trying that obvious combination.
This sounds like a great way to torture your family pet. They can hear ultrasound, and the brew time for this is 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
They recently started doing this with whisky first and i thats when i wanted to go down the path of trying it on all of types of liquids but never had the time or money to do it.
I wonder how well it would work for tea
The ultrasound creates a phenomenon called acoustic cavitation, which is a rapid formation and collapse of microscopic bubbles in the liquid. When these tiny bubbles collapse near the coffee particles, they act like microscopic scrubbing brushes or jets of liquid, pitting and fracturing the coffee grounds and accelerating the bewing process.
That is such a cool use of an observed phenomenon.
Fascinating. They can make room-temperature coffee in far less time than cold-brew. Could be really great for places that sell a lot of iced coffee.
I'm happy it won't be a 'super' event. I still recoil from the memories of the Black Summer fires...
Great little article.
The thing that stood out to me is hope. They want everyone to feel overwhelmed and give up.
Do what you can and know that every little bit helps!

Thank you. Have signed. Juice Media are great!
Why don't you do a post for Aussie Zone so more people can see the video and sign the letter.

Here is the The Juice Media's take on it:

Fucks sake, how can the government see the damage done in the USA by fracking and then in Queensland and still think that the industry gives half a shit with its lies about 'minimal environmental impacts'.
They essentially pump a slurry of chemical dissolvants through the coal-shale seams underground and attempt to collect the resulting chemical-oil-slurry mixture below it..... A child can tell you that this will obviously result in lots of unwanted leakage into surrounding soil and the water-table. Its completely insane that this ever became an acceptable oil-extraction method.
When will people stop voting for the two-party system and move power to parties that want to hold companies accountabke to the environment? Feels like the needle is moving but soooo slowly.

They really are out to destroy the world deliberately. It's not even about the oil is it.
These small organisms can grow exceptionally rapidly and hold high concentrations of oils. Many microalgae species can double their weight every day. Nannochloropsis and Chlorella are the two main types used to make oil... ...Algae can be processed using proven technologies such as hydrothermal liquefaction to produce biodiesel able to be used in existing trucks and machinery. It can also produce sustainable aviation fuel
