Direct electrochemical appraisal of black coffee quality using cyclic voltammetry - Nature Communications

Coffee flavor is primarily determined by the bean roast color and concentration of the beverage. Here, the authors show that both of these characteristics are reflected in the coffee’s cyclic voltammogram. This approach enables rapid determination of the strength and roast intensity of the coffee.

"Finished" the argon Zn-I test, but because it leaked. Made improvements to the dev kit design.

10 cycles/2 days into the argon Zn-I test. It looks weird but... also good? I probably just jinxed it.
