Rossen, J (2018). Just Smelling Coffee Can Give You A Brain Boost. Mental Floss. Retrieved and adapted from https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/551479/just-smelling-coffee-can-give-you-brain-boost

In the article “Just Smelling Coffee Can Give You A Brain Boost.”, Rossen (2018) discusses the benefits and effects on smelling coffee. The benefits for the aroma of coffee is that the “anti-inflammatory properties”  may prolong life expentency and lower the risk of ‘type-2’ diabetes. In the area of effect, Rossen mentioned that the aroma of coffee might increase one productivity.

According to Spear (2018), a study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology discuss the effects on smelling coffee. In the study, two groups of students were asked to take a “Graduate Management Apitutde Test (GMAT).” These students were separated into two different environment rooms. The first group of students were in the room filled with the aroma of coffee while the latter was in a room without any scent of coffee. The group of students that were in the room with aroma of coffee did slightly better than the other group. They mentioned that they felt invigorated by the aroma of the coffee upon entering the room. This resulted in them to be perceived of being more concentrated in doing the test. Rossen briefly mentioned that in previous studies, a scientist came to a conclusion in an experiment that “sleep-deprived rats” who were exposed to the scent of coffee were able to “ease their fatigue-related stress”.

This article is a relevant reference to our idea of creation behind automated siphon brewing coffee machine. Our team has done researched and realized that siphon brewing coffee produces one of the best aroma coffee. This article uses the effects of smelling coffee which convinced us to create the automated machine. Moreover, there are no automated coffee brewing machine in the market right now that is able to automatically brew coffee through siphon method without having to pay attention to. Hence, our team decided to make enhancement on the current siphon coffee brewer.
