Everything you've ever wanted to know about coffee | Chandler Graf | TEDxACU

As a biochemistry major and barista at Beltway Coffee in Abilene, Chandler Graf has a deep passion and appreciation for the integration of science in the art of brewing coffee. Chandler’s TEDxACU talk, filmed at Beltway Coffee and delivered via TED’s live-to-camera video format, shares the science behind choosing the best bag of coffee at the grocery store, making great coffee at home, and even understanding what you’re really ordering the next time you go out for coffee.

I am from Kenya and I am a coffee farm and everything u hv said I was told by my grandfather and that made me to continue with the family farm. Thanks

I want a video like this for every subject ever, taught by this guy. He did a great job of simplifying this.

[nixeij]

This is just an almost 15-minute talk so give him a break for oversimplifying stuff. For people who don't know much about coffee, this is more than informative and helpful! It's like learning quantum physics at the introductory level vs. going deep into mind boggling theories that people spend DECADES trying to define and refine.

the keurig brewing method adds a nice rounded plastic taste to the coffee.

Dang. I did not expect so much to be covered in such a short amount of time. Coffee, beans, fermentation, location/altitude, roast, caffeine and chemical reactivity in the brain, brewing methods, all the way to drinks in the shop. Clearly there is a ton more detail that can be explored, but what a great introduction!

[izackredmon]

I love to see that there are still people out there that are infatuated by coffee and what it takes to make a good cup of coffee. I love coffee. I buy my beans close to roast date from local dealers. I grind them. And I brew each individual cup for myself. I love it. Most people think that coffee is just a simple cup with milk and sugar, but it's so much more complex than that. Love this video!!!!

[jakemascarenas]

Youve just taught me more in under 15 minutes than i knew abut coffee in all my years to this point. Thank you for making something daunting and intimidating, clear and easy to understand.

Here I sit at 3am falling asleep watching a video about coffee.

[ryanmartin]

Love the content, but didn't understand the zooming in on the hands.

[padenbergdall]

This is amazing to see as a Roaster and Barista. I’ve recommended this video to so many customers who want to get into coffee and start exploring. This is what we need people!

[coffeerevival]

Whenever I’m feeling down I come to YouTube and learn more about coffee.

[livinginwilderness]

Chandler, I hope there’s more people like you in this world who understands their stuff really well to explain it so clearly for others. Well done!

I'm Brazilian, in my church there was a coffee tree, and the fruit is sweet, I liked to eat it when I was a child

I still miss my grandpa's coffee.
He grew, grinded, roasted his own coffee and brew it in a pot.

[violetbrown]

I'm 40. I've tried coffee a few times before. Today, I had 4 cups. I started loving the taste of coffee at age 40. Jussayinisall.

[benstanphill]

This was fantastic. Coffee became a huge part of my life in college, but I haven't begun educating myself on all this until now. Very informative. Thank you.

[salimal-anburi]

Thank you for this...I have learned in your short video more than I googled for months.

[ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim]

I kept getting BLOWN AWAY by how good this guy is at summarizing everything concisely and comprehensibly, then I realized it was posted by TEDx Talks so NO WONDER IT'S SO GOOD. Best coffee video I've ever watched.

[attikus]

Loved this--learned so much!! Loved the science and clarity in explanation...great. Thank u!!

[kanabapuka]

My wife and I would like to thank you for a superb presentation. Really learned useful information and the reason why we prefer African coffee so much. Thank you.
