...verdict? Via does actually taste something like brewed coffee. Not a great cup of brewed coffee, and not the coffee from Starbucks: my store-bought cup had a richer, winier mouthfeel, as does my Costco homebrew. At the recommended eight-ounce dose of water, the Italian tasted a little weak, but smooth. To my surprise, the Colombian actually had a rounder, more satisfying flavor, though I usually prefer a darker roast. (Both types of Via tasted better when the water had a minute to cool.) I wouldn't replace my home-brewed with it, but if my sister...
Admittedly, it can't wax poetic about the mouthfeel of a pinot or the flavors of mown grass and flint in a 2007 sauvignon. But an electronic "tongue" recently unveiled by scientists at Barcelona's Institute for Microelectronics is capable of identifying different wines and may be used as a new weapon in the battle against wine fraud. In a study published last week in the Royal Society of Chemistry's journal the Analyst, Cecilia Jonquera-Jiménez and her colleagues announced that by using microsensors cued to chemical ions, their device, or "e-tongue," can distinguish among grapes...
...then Mascha countered by explaining that about 75% of the fine-water experience is mouthfeel--basically, how many bubbles there are and how big they are. Some 20% comes from how dense the liquid is with minerals such as calcium and magnesium--which, to my shock, is listed on the side of most bottles as the TDS: total dissolved solids. The remaining 5%, Mascha claimed, comes down to pH balance: slightly alkaline waters taste sweet; acidic ones have a tinge of sourness...
...RUTH SIEMS, 74, General Foods research-and-development staff member whose carefully planned recipe made Stove Top stuffing a best-selling comfort to harried mothers everywhere; of a heart attack; in Newburgh, Ind. Knowing that bread-crumb size held the key to liquid absorption--and thus "proper texture and mouthfeel," as the patent stated--she determined the precise dimensions of the ideal crumb--about those of a pencil eraser. Now part of Kraft, Stove Top sells some 60 million boxes every Thanksgiving...
