Abstract

A two dimensional brew selection interface is used to configure a plurality of brewing parameters used in a drip coffee brewing operation. The two dimensional brew selection interface may include a plurality of positions distributed across first and second dimensions, with each position mapped to a set of values for multiple brewing parameters such that selection of a position in the two dimensional brew selection interface enables the mapped values for the brewing parameters corresponding to the selected position to be used in the drip coffee brewing operation. In some instances, the positions may additionally be mapped to particular flavor attributes, and in some instances, particular taste-like flavor attributes, to further simplify a user's selection of a desired position in the two dimensional brew selection interface.
