ECM 1: The Design of Coffee

to transform raw coffee beans to an icy and refreshing cup

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I really get to roast and brew coffee in this class?
Yes! The core component of this class is a weekly 2‐hour lab
session, where you will do experiments involving coffee. Examples include taking apart a Mr.
Coffee brewer to analyze how it works, measuring the pH of coffee versus brew time, and
examining the energy usage of different roasting profiles. In every lab session you will get to taste
the resulting coffee, working with your group to ultimately make your unique design for the best‐
tasting cup of coffee.
I don't drink coffee. Does this class require me to drink it anyway?
No, you can take the entire course without tasting any of the coffee, and doing only visual and
olfactory (smelling) sensory analyses. However, one of the things you will learn in this class is that
properly prepared, fresh roasted coffee can taste nothing like the bitter stuff you might have
tasted before. Some coffees even taste sweet without adding sugar. Moreover, a fun part of the
class is the blind taste test at the end of the quarter, where you get to complete with your
classmates Iron Chef style.
I only drink decaffeinated coffee. Is decaf available?
Yes. For students who cannot or choose not to consume caffeine, decaffeinated green coffee
beans are available for both roasting and brewing.
I've heard engineering courses are difficult. Is this class going to destroy my GPA?
No! This class is designed as a general education course for students who are not majoring in
engineering. All grades will be based on a curve using standards appropriate for a non‐
quantitative, freshmen level class.
Will I get GE credit for this course?
Yes, this class counts as 3 units of Science and Engineering credit for GE. The course also satisfies
3 units of both Scientific Literacy and Visual Literacy.
Why is this class in the department of chemical engineering? Are we going to be adding weird
chemicals to the coffee?
Absolutely not! During the entire course we will use only green coffee beans and water. As we will
discuss in the class, chemical engineers apply quantitative reasoning to a tremendously wide
variety of industrial applications. Quite a lot of our graduates are actually hired by the food and
beverage industries. But the main goal here is to introduce students to how chemical engineers
analyze things, using coffee as a fun (and delicious!) example.

ASUCD EC presents Slow Magic | Saturday, April 4, 2015 | 7 PM
MU Quad // FREE for all UC Davis Students!
ADD us on social media! Instagram | Twitter | Website: ec.ucdavis.edu |
Event page
SLOW MAGIC: A DIY project with worldwide scope, Slow Magic is universal
and inclusive. It's cosmic electronic music culled from the ether, yet crafted with human hands.
It's joyous, escapist, multi‐disciplinary art that mixes transcendent performance with the nostalgic
intimacy of two teenagers staying up too late on the phone. After the release of 2012's beloved
and critically‐acclaimed Triangle, Slow Magic became an international movement after touring
with artists like Gold Panda and XXYYXX. Crowds found a masked man in their midst, bathed in
fantastic light, with electronic triggers and a drum. The future‐primitive combination infused the
project's electronic compositions with new life. How To Run Away, Slow Magic's debut with
Downtown Records, reflects this growth, oozing both otherworldly beauty and a mastery of
production. Lead single "Girls" is deconstructionist house with an organic pulse and collaged,
handcrafted samples. "Hold Still" sculpts elastic organs and jazz piano into an emotionally‐
pummeling finale, while the melancholy "Let U Go" merges watery dub with spectral piano and
"Closer" plays like a '90s R&B fever dream. Slow Magic is music by your imaginary friend.
