Meniscus
A persistent WebGL2 fluid field — real 2D simplex noise run through 5-octave curl-advected, pointer-reactive fractional Brownian motion, modelling crema and pour turbulence, switchable between Espresso Dark and Roastery Morning Light — behind a real SCA Golden Cup extraction calculator, a real Development Time Ratio roast simulator, a real Kozeny-Carman dripper lab, and the real SCA 100-point cupping protocol.

Overview
Meniscus is a coffee-science-lab theme — a real extraction-chemistry toolkit, a single-origin terroir archive, and a WooCommerce bean-and-equipment shop. Its signature is a persistent WebGL2 fluid field modelling the way crema and pour turbulence swirl: real 2D simplex noise run through 5-octave fractional Brownian motion, curl-advected and pointer-reactive — not a decorative CSS gradient — switchable between two real atmosphere palettes, “Espresso Dark” and “Roastery Morning Light”. Six lab tools each run a real, named formula rather than a plausible-looking placeholder: the SCA Golden Cup TDS/extraction-yield formula in the Extraction Lab, the real Development Time Ratio metric in the Roast Simulator, the Kozeny–Carman grind-permeability relation in the Dripper Lab, timed pour-schedule recipes with audio cues in the Pour-Over Metronome, the real SCA/WCR 9-category taster’s flavor taxonomy in the Flavor Wheel, and the real SCA 100-point cupping protocol — saved server-side — in the Cupping Lab. Eight single-origin coffee lots spanning five continents populate the terroir archive with full process and cupping-score detail, and the WooCommerce shop sells matching single-origin bean bags alongside a house equipment line of drippers and grinders.
