Our recent look at preparation times for Dalgona coffee produced data that lent itself to 2ᵏ analysis. However, a closer look at the collected data indicated that with a single extra trial we could compare the variation explained by instant coffee type and beater type.
Our recent investigation into the preparation time of Dalgona whipped coffee left us with a pile of timing data. Some of that data happened to be compatible with 2ᵏ factorial experimental design. So, why not complete the analysis and see what we find?
Dalgona coffee: fluffy, caffeinated, photogenic, and… exhausting? With claims it can take an obscene amount of whisking to make, we wondered what factors influenced the amount of time needed to make this novel beverage.
While investigating the differences in kosher salt brands, it was observed that two boxes of the same brand had surprisingly different densities. But were those differences statistically significant?
When recipe calls for a tablespoon of “kosher salt” that seems like a simple instruction, right?
Due to the huge popularity of Cognitive Bias Bingo, we are proud to introduce Logical Fallacy Bingo. As with its predecessor, Logical Fallacy Bingo uses gamification to raise awareness of logical fallacies on social media.
Reading through comments on social media is often infuriating due to the various cognitive biases that allow people to believe obviously false claims. Since gamification has been used to raise awareness of other topics, why not cognitives biases?
Cookie recipes never seem to make as many cookies the recipe claims, so how big (or small, rather) must a cookie be in order to get the recipe-expected number of cookies?
After the success of the Mini Siphon Mk I, followed by the surprising failures of the full scale Beer Siphon Mk III, several changes have been made to the design to make it less fragile, less leaky, and hopefully just work. But would it produce a Black and Tan, or just more heartbreak?
After the successful test of a miniature siphon for making layered shots, it was time to try a full sized siphon for making a Black and Tan. But will it work?
