Thermal analysis of brewing and keeping a cup of espresso hot.

[alexander.glew]

Since we enjoy drinking espresso at work, and had a summer engineering intern, we thought it would be fun to write some blogs on the thermal aspects of espresso and espresso cups. In the first blog, we measure the effect on retaining the coffee temperature of pre-heating a standard ceramic espresso cup. In the second blog, we compare it to a styrofoam cup, and an insulated glass expresso cup. Read the blogs and let us know what else you would like to see analyzed related to coffee. We will follow up with more of the physics after another data based blog. Hope you enjoy. Titles to the blogs are below. Search engines will find them if you are curious.

Are those blogs still up somewhere? What did you use for the thermal analysis?
Just modeling in an fem software or real life data with something like a DTA PT 1600?
I know modelling is all the rage these days, but I prefer some old fashioned hard data
But good to see some engineers posting on here
