The Science Inside Your Cup

A computational research monograph on coffee bioactives, roasting chemistry, and molecular pharmacology. Four sample chapters are publicly available, each tied to a peer-reviewed paper.

Full book access is by request. The complete monograph is available to businesses and research collaborators by arrangement — it forms part of the scientific foundation we provide to clients. Email us to discuss access. The four chapters below are publicly available as they correspond directly to published research.

This book is part of AIXC Bio's research output — 22+ peer-reviewed papers accepted at AAAI, ICLR, NeurIPS, and other top venues.

Peer-Reviewed Chapters

Each chapter below is the public-facing explanation of one of our published studies. Read the chapter to understand the science; read the paper for the full methodology.

Chapter 2 — The Diterpene Story

The molecular story behind cafestol, kahweol, and LDL receptor suppression. Explains why brewing method changes coffee’s cardiovascular impact at receptor level — and what a paper filter is actually doing chemically.
