Generally described are methods of preparing flavor-infused coffee beans by preparing a flavor-infused spirit, steeping coffee beans in the flavor-infused spirit, and roasting the flavor-infused coffee beans. Some embodiments relate to flavor-infused coffee beverages prepared from flavor-infused coffee beans.

The present invention relates to a method for processing coffee cherries using deep seawater and microorganisms. The method processes coffee cherries by using microorganisms and deep seawater, such that the amount of defective coffee cherries are reduced, a processing time of green beans is shortened, and a content of trigonelline which is a precursor of an aroma component of coffee is increased.

Disclosed herein are small molecule compounds that can be used to increase the overall quality of a coffee beverage. The flavor enhancing compounds can be combined with coffee at any stage of its processing to increase the cup score of a coffee beverage. In some embodiments, the flavor enhancing compounds include one or more caffeic ester compounds, for instance caffeic acid esterified with a cyclitol or related compound.
