I think the idea is that the vibration transmits through the entire filter. The question is whether it's geometry/frequency specific



The embedded youtube video at 0:58 shows a laptop screen with some pretty fancy-looking simulation jiggles and heatmaps on what looks like an espresso filter.

It also looks like a PDF of a paper, so presumably they have a paper that talks about the geometry/frequency interactions.


The article includes a link to the paper, which has simulation models of the acoustics, showing pressure levels and areas where cavitation can occur. (I didn't see anything about heating from dissipating the acoustic energy, though?)


It’s likly not specific one could reduce the cold brewing time by shaking the jar.
