Technical science
Definition
Extraction rate is the practical speed of solute extraction as shaped by the brew temperature and cooling profile.
Why It Matters
Higher temperature usually increases extraction rate, but the whole thermal path matters.
Page Context
Extraction rate is part of the Brew Supply AeroPress Wheel and helps brewers describe how quickly the coffee extracts under the thermal conditions.
