The perfect coffee. That is, to extract and put into solution, the coffee oils and the soluble (and semi-soluble compounds) that are formed when the coffee bean is roasted.18%-22% is the optimum extraction rate for good coffee. Under Extraction occurs when the brewing time is too short and not enough coffee soluble are extracted into solution. This can occur if the water is not hot enough or if the water passes through the ground coffee too quickly. An insipid, thin brew lacking in body and flavour will result.

In society so superior to what she had generally known, her improvement was great. She was not of so ungovernable a temper as Lydia; and, removed from the influence of Lydia's example, she became, by proper attention and management, less irritable, less ignorant, and less insipid. From the further disadvantage of Lydia's society she was of course carefully kept, and though Mrs. Wickham frequently invited her to come and stay with her, with the promise of balls and young men, her father would never consent to her going. Mary was the only daughter who remained at home; and she was necessarily drawn from the pursuit of accomplishments by Mrs. Bennet's being quite unable to sit alone. Mary was
