A method for producing a coffee extract with increased coffee-specific aroma and reduced off-flavors is provided. A coffee extract prepared by extraction at low temperature (70 to 120° C.) in the first extraction step is mixed with a coffee extract prepared by an evaporative concentration treatment after the second extraction step, in which roasted and ground coffee beans used in the first extraction step is used for extraction at high temperature (125 to 150° C.).

The present invention relates to a beverage having excellent photodegradation resistance. More particularly, the present invention relates to a photodegradation resistant beverage comprising a fat-free milk solid content and fat content, the fat content comprising not less than 70% by mass vegetable fat and oil, and the vegetable fat and oil is selected from the group consisting of coconut oil, sunflower oil and a mixture thereof.

A coffee beverage having, regardless of a liquid temperature of the beverage, reduced bitterness and little aftertaste is provided. The content of guaiacol and the content of furfuryl methyl sulfide in the beverage are adjusted to specific ranges.

Several embodiments of the present disclosure relate to distilled coffee spirits, and techniques and methods for preparing the same. In some embodiments, a distilled coffee spirit is prepared by diluting cold brew coffee grounds into a fermentation mixture, fermenting the fermentation mixture with a fermentation agent, and distilling the entire fermentation mixture to produce a distilled coffee beverage.

The present embodiments generally relate to beverages with enhanced flavors and aromas and method of making same. Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to soluble coffee and methods of making soluble coffee with improvements in such qualities as taste and aroma.

Coffee formulations comprising a coffee extract, a flavor agent, a solvent, and a coloring agent are described. Cartridges containing the coffee formulations are also described. Beverage dispensing systems containing such cartridges, and methods of make and using the coffee formulations are also described.

Coffee beans having an increased flavor component, a method for increasing a flavor component in coffee beans, and a method for evaluating coffee beans are provided. A fatty acid methyl ester content of coffee beans is increased.

The present disclosure relates to a process for the production of a liquid coffee concentrate that has an improved storage stability at ambient temperature. The process comprises separating coffee extract resulting in a high aromatic coffee extract and a low aromatic coffee extract and subjecting the low aromatic coffee extract to a heat treatment and, optionally, a pH rising step.
